Loved this show as a kid.
After “Alice,” McKeon had several other acting and producing roles and worked in the News Department at KFWB News 98 in Los Angeles for 10 years. In the last few years, he hosted a radio show in Wemberly, Texas.
He is survived by his mother, Barbara, and his sister, “The Facts of Life” actress Nancy McKeon.

“Mel Kiss my Grits”
He kid grew up on that show.
AIDS?
Show is a retooling of the movie Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore with Diane Ladd and Kris Kristofferson and directed by Martin Scorsese. Mel’s Diner is in the movie and Vic Tayback as Mel, was the only actor who continued his role on the sitcom. Linda Lavin played Alice in the show. Diane Ladd later joined once Polly Holliday left but quit abruptly.
Saw every episode of Alice 15 years ago on ION when it ran alongside Silver Spoons, Amen, 227, Growin Pains and Who’s The Boss reruns.
Way to young....
Surprised to hear this. They didn’t mention what his illness was. RIP.
I live only a few miles away from Mel’s Diner, might be a good time to finally check it out.
