The Diff'rent Strokes curse continues

Gary Coleman, the child actor who starred in the TV show Diff'rent Strokes has died, CNN and MSNBC reports. He was 42.

Update at 2:52 p.m. ET: The Associated Press reports that Coleman suffered the hemorrhage Wednesday at his Santaquin home, 55 miles south of Salt Lake City.

The actor was admitted to the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center and was conscious and lucid until midday Thursday, when his condition worsened and he slipped into unconsciousness. Coleman was then placed on life support, the AP says.

What you talking about, Lou?

I was keeping track of this since I heard this morning he was in a coma. I had a feeling he wouldn't make it. Todd Bridges better start living in a bubble.

Dana Plato, Dixie Carter, Dana Plato's son, now Gary. The old man's gonna out live all of them I think.

Well, Gary had a troubled life. Hopefully he can be at peace now.

Poor thing. I don't think he had a day in his life that he wasn't sick or exploited.

damn...it just sucks that nobody had an happy life after this show. coleman now rests which is probably the best thing that could happen. but, to tell the truth i am no where near surprised since he had alot of hospital visits with in the year.

RIP.

RIP Arnold Jackson.

I know he had a lot of health problems and personal issues and it really is a shame. I saw him most recently on tv with his wife. I thought they had divorced, but evidently not.

As sad as it is, I too can't say I'm shocked.


TIS

Is the man who played the father in Different Strokes still alive?

yup...him and the nanny...as well as todd bridges

and i guess janet jackson as well

RIP

Todd Bridges seems to be doing ok these days. He looked great singing in the big 'Glee' inspired finale at the recent TV Land Awards.
