I remember during the Different Strokes show, the Drummond Family would sometimes go to visit another family that consisted of a father and his two girls. One of the girls had brown hair (the older one) and the younger one had blonde hair, I think she wore braids ?? Does anyone remember this, and who the actors/actresses were that played these characters? Did it become a spin -off show. This is seperate from the Facts of Life...... any help ??
