OT:R.I.P. Gary Coleman

PROVO, Utah – Gary Coleman, the child star of the smash 1970s TV sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes" whose later career was marred by medical and legal problems, has died after suffering an intercranial hemorrhage. He was 42.

Utah Valley Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Janet Frank says life support was terminated and Coleman died at 12:05 p.m. MDT.

Coleman, with his sparkling eyes and perfect comic timing, became a star after "Diff'rent Strokes" debuted in 1978. He played the younger brother in a pair of African-American siblings adopted by a wealthy white man.

His popularity faded when the show ended after six seasons on NBC and two on ABC.

He suffered continuing ill health from the kidney disease that stunted his growth and had a host of legal problems in recent years.

He was very talented...and (according to him) bilked out of his $ by his parents.
Always seemed very negative in his adult years...I hope he found some happiness.


IORR............but I like it!

a very sad and tortured life from what little I know. That whole 'Facts of Life' gang really seemed jinxed.

Hopefully in a better place....

"Diff'rent Strokes" aka the doomed show : Dana Plato dead at 34 (OD), GC dead at 42, Todd Bridges who after years of drug use looks like a refugee from hell...

And Conrad Bain (b.1923) who played the dad, is still alive! smoking smiley Must be his Canadian blood that saved him...
