Man, I’m not really sure why, his passing has really got to me.
Not really sure why, he was just about my age, and he was absolutely huge in the 80’s, one of my favorite times. He was so talented, couldn't of thought his life would end this way, and so very too soon.
He had such great success and such great disappointments…can you imagine suing your own parents?
I’d blame his fate on his popularity from Diff’rent Strokes but that wouldn’t really be fair, would it? There were child actors in other series that didn’t have such a up and downs, and troubles.
What is it about that show that has seemed to dog the three child actors of Plato, Bridges and Coleman and brought such bad tidings to their lives?
What do you think, is the show, as many have said, cursed?

The show wasn't cursed, the parents of the kids were money grubbing a$$es who sold there kids. Show biz spit them out. It is what happens. I'm starting to think it would be better to not allow kids in the industry at all. They seem to be the most consistently abused(mentally and emotionally) of any group.

Hard to tell. Other shows that seemed to be cursed are Hogan's Heroes and Gilligan's Island, both series which most of the cast have passed on.
With Gary now gone, there would be almost no purpose of a Diff'rent Strokes reunion now, since he was always the center of attention.

With the exception to Bob Crane (who was murdered), the cast of both Hogan's Heroes & Gilligan's Island basically died of old age (or age related issues). There are several still around like Richard Dawson, Dawn Wells, etc.
With Diff'rent Strokes, the ones who have died are the young ones.

I do have fond memories of Arnold Jackson on Diff'rent Strokes from my youth. Just sitting back and blowing off homework with some ice cream and popcorn and TV. He was so much fun. It wasn't long before the dark tabloid stories of distress on the set started to emerge. Bile, violence, drugs. Todd Bridges.
Then Dana Plato.
Gary Coleman's death is a sad surprise. However, I did not expect him to reach old age. He suffered from endocrinological disorders which stunted his growth. His kidney problems nearly killed him a couple of times when he was a teenager.
He was prone to his infamous outbursts, but he seemed to have a good-natured side. In his last run-in with the media after the were hassling him at the airport a few months ago, he cracked a joke about all the Internet nudes of him being fake!
Gary's in a happier place now.

Coleman should have given 'Nilla a beat down. The biggest mistake Suge Knight made was not dropping 'Nilla off that hotel balcony when he had the chance.
Coleman actually did have talent, but it's hard to get roles when you're a 4' 8" former child star typecast with a catch phrase.

Maybe he could play the father role in a new Diff'rent Strokes.
In this modern day remake, a wealthy black single father with a black son adopts two little orphaned white girls.
Basically most of the character features are switched from black to white (or vice versa) to put a fresh spin on the core story.
Get a comedienne like Mo'Nique or Loni Love to play the housekeeper, too.

Lawyer: Gary Coleman Was Divorced When He Died
By Ken Lee
Wednesday June 02, 2010 06:10 PM EDT
Shannon Price portrayed herself to emergency crews and hospital staff as Gary Coleman's wife, but his former lawyer now says the pair weren't legally married at the time of the actor's death.
"I can confirm they've been divorced since August 12, 2008," attorney Randy Kester, who handled the divorce, tells PEOPLE. "At the time of Gary's death, they were not married. I have no knowledge if they were ever remarried."
The discovery comes after documents were posted on ETOnline Wednesday showing the couple had divorced, though their names were listed as John Doe and Jane Doe.
"Gary wanted me to keep their divorce private," Kester says, "but now that it's been made public, I'm compelled to say it's all true."
Questions About Authority
The revelation calls into question whether Price, 24, had the authority to make any medical decisions on the actor's behalf – as well as any future decisions, such as funeral arrangements or those concerning his estate.
The actor, 42, was taken off life support Friday with Price's permission. A 911 call tape released Wednesday also revealed that Price initially resisted giving Coleman medical aid.
Price could not be reached for comment.
"We're definitely concerned about this and we're looking into what exactly happened here," says Janet Frank, spokeswoman for the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center where Coleman died. "Shannon certainly portrayed herself as his wife to our staff and doctors. We assumed she was telling the truth. We can't comment on specific details in Mr. Coleman's case, but in general, any patient on life support is thoroughly evaluated medically before life support is ended."
Adds attorney Kester: "It's possible that Gary gave Shannon the authority in writing at the hospital to make medical decisions for him, but whether he did, I don't know."
Reached for comment regarding the divorce, Gary's mother, Sue Coleman, said: "It's too early for us to comment on this. Of course we're concerned, but we need to find out more information."
The Colemans, whom the actor had stopped communicating with approximately 15 years ago, say that Price's brother has reached out to them regarding funeral plans, "but it's still unclear what have in mind, but of course we'd love to be there."

Gary Coleman's wife resisted giving him emergency aid
By Ken Lee, PEOPLE.com
June 2, 2010 8:25 p.m. EDT
(PEOPLE.com) -- Gary Coleman's panicked wife initially balked at helping him after he suffered an apparent head injury that left him bloodied, according her 911 call.
Shannon Price, 24, tells the operator that Coleman was stricken while preparing her something to eat the evening of May 26 downstairs in their Santaquin, Utah, home.
"He just got home, I heard this big bang, I went downstairs. Blood everywhere," she says. "I don't know if he's okay. I'm not down there right now because I have a fever, if I get stressed out I'm going to faint."
Price says, "He fell. His head is bloody. There's blood all over the floor. I don't know what happened." The operator asks, "Is there any way you can go down there at all?" Price replies, "I'll try, I don't know, I mean..."
When the operator asks if anyone else is there who can go downstairs, Price says, "No," and adds, "I've just been kind of sick. I don't want to be traumatized right now."
Price then is heard saying, "Gary, are you okay?" and telling him, "Stay where you are" and "Don't move, Gary."
The operator asks Price to tell Coleman to put pressure on his own wound. "Gary, you have to put pressure on your wound," Price is heard saying. "He's lethargic, I can't really help him. I just need help quick."
The operator says help is on the way. "I just can't be here with the blood," Price says. "I'm sorry, I can't do it. I can't. ... There's blood all over and I can't do anything."
Price then says, "I can't drive" because she's been sick with a fever. "I can't do anything right now."
The operator asks Price "to at least give him a towel" so Coleman can apply pressure to his wound. Price replies, "Yeah, I'm just panicked. I don't know what to do ... I just don't want him to die. I'm freaking out."
Next, she's heard telling Coleman, "You have to put this on your head ... Keep pressure on this, okay, hold this." She tells Coleman, "You need to sit down. Sit down! Gary, sit down!"
People.com: Lawyer says Coleman divorced in 2008
She tells the operator just moments before emergency crews arrive: "I'm gagging, I got blood on myself, I can't deal."
Coleman, 42, was taken off life support two days later after doctors determined he'd suffered a brain hemorrhage and his condition worsened. An official cause of death is still pending an investigation. Police say there was nothing suspicious about his accident.
Funeral plans have not yet been finalized, although the Price family may hold services by week's end in Utah, according to Coleman's attorney Randy Kester.

Secret Gary Coleman Will Leaves Millions to Mystery Woman: Report
Friday – June 11, 2010 – 6:35pm
Shannon Price may not see a dime in the wake of Gary Coleman's May 28 death.
According to Entertainment Tonight, a third will has surfaced which names a new woman, Anna Gray, as executor and sole beneficiary of his estate.
PHOTOS: Look back at Gary Coleman's rise to fame
Coleman's agent, Robert Malcom, tells ET Gray became close friends with the child star after meeting him in 1997. She even stayed in Coleman's home for several months (in a separate bedroom) before being named the CEO of Coleman's corporation. Once the actor met Price, they relocated to Utah in 2005.
"When Shannon moved in, the relationship got difficult because Shannon didn't like the fact that there was somebody else in his life," Malcom tells ET. "Of course, he sided with , and Anna was asked to leave."
In the 23 page document, Coleman states that he wishes "to be cremated and that there be no funeral service, wake, or other ceremony memorializing my passing."
PHOTOS: Stars gone too soon
In the event that Gray would not survive him, Coleman left his Lionel train collection to three different train shops in California.
On Tuesday, Price told ET that she planned to scatter Coleman's ashes around some train tracks. "I think he would really appreciate that I did that for him," she said.
But Us Weekly has reported the couple -- who wed in 2007 and divorced in 2008 -- often fought over his train hobby.
PHOTOS: Look back at these fallen child stars
"He once bought her a train set as a gift," Jordan Prentice, his co-star on his last film, Midgets vs. Mascots, told Us. "She was furious."
Noticeably absent from the will? Ex-wife Price, who he had not yet married when the will was written, and his estranged parents, Sue and Willie Coleman.

O.K. so I wasn't paying attention. They weren't married! The news reports didn't really explain that. Utah does have common law, but they would have to hire a lawyer to get it recognized and, considering that their doesn't seem to be a big pay out, they may not be able to find one willing to take the case. Since they divorced in 2008 it doesn't seem likely to be recognized. That is great because karma is biting that bitch and her family in the ass right now

I'm surprised that wench lawyer-to-the-stars Gloria Allred, or her spawn Lisa Bloom have not already taken up this woman's case. ::)

You are so right. She was in it for the meal ticket, nothing else. ::)

Actually, it's the other way around...what did he ever see in her?

She's tall and he's short.

I would have thought the answer to this would be obvious.

Wench? You word, not mine.
Anyway, I don't think Gloria Allred (don't know much about Bloom) liked Coleman in the first place. He did have some domestic abuse issues.

Bloom is as bad as Allred. She's a regular on The Insider, digging into everybody else's dirt.
One of these days somebody is gonna get their hands on a videotape of her with a German Shepherd and run the footage on TMZ. Then she can see how she likes it...
