It's a shame how Gary Coleman's life turned out.

[TEH]

Everyone had a tragic ending from that show…

Arnold died …

Kimberly was a porn star then died …

Mr. Drummond died …

Willis and Dudley probably turned out the best as part time partially washed up actors/ producers.

13 Things You Might Not Know About <em>Diff'rent Strokes</em>

As he neared adulthood, a teenaged Coleman began to grow very weary of playing an adolescent Arnold. For the last season, he successfully petitioned the writers to place Arnold in high school in order to feed more mature plots like dating and driving, with less jumping into Mr. Drummond’s lap. He also convinced NBC to give him a dramatic role in 1985 as the lead in a TV movie, Playing with Fire, about a child arsonist who wants to set the family dog ablaze. Like his Very Special Episodes, it ends with a strong message for would-be firebugs: “Get therapy.”

That whole cast was cursed.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

His parents did him dirty they stole all his money he made from A Different Strokes

I never laughed at breh.

He was funny on that show and so cute as a kid that most everyone loved him.

It's a shame that ppl treated him so bad and madr fun of his disease.

It was him and Webster that were the butt on jokes, but Gary got it worse for whatever reason

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

Hate to bring even more dark energy to this thread but I think his wife killed him and got away with it


The posted 5 minute video won't show but she was acting real funny on the 911 call. Wasn't trying to help him at all because she hates blood


She also took him off life support after 2 days in the hospital without ever even asking his family.

sold his autographed Game Cube after he fought a chalk board for money.

Arguably the best child comedic actor ever. Impeccable timing, delivered his lines flawlessly.

He didn't deserve how his life turned out.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

This thread made me sad

 

[flea]

The worst part was when he started doing those loan commercials talmbout, "I was so broke, I wanted to kill myself! "

That was 4-5 years before he passed. Little did we know that was the beginning of the end for him.

Cotdammit, I hate that I laughed at this shyt. The fukking smiley didn’t help at all. I low key wanna see this commercial

 

[FeloniousMonk]

That show was a curse. Didn’t the white chick become a porn star?

Nah.

Like someone said typecasting.

She was the innocent sister on the show.

She fell on rough times, and did lil nudie flicks, yet because of her background conservatives called it "porn", the media ran her through the mud and I believe she suffered a breakdown because of it.

I remember that time, and there was biodoc about her.

 

[IslandG]

His ashy skin was due to the kidney issues he had from what I understand. Probably a bit unfair to give him a hard time for that.

 

[patscorpio]

It was him and Webster that were the butt on jokes, but Gary got it worse for whatever reason

Honestly I think Emmanuel Lewis having a strong family foundation saved him the pitfalls of child stardom that Gary couldnt avoid. Like you are hard pressed to find any real fukkery with him outside of him appearing in a lil jon vid back in the day getting crunk

 

[Gunz&Butta]

There was a time he was a security guard and folks went to his job to troll him
