Title: RIP Gary Coleman Post by: Samwise on May 28, 2010, 12:27:42 PM What, no thread yet?
http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/28/gary-coleman-actor-and-former-child-star-dies/ Not sure what else to say. I grew up watching Diff'rent Strokes, so it's a bit strange and depressing that 2/3 of the kids from that show are now dead. You'll be missed, Gary. Title: Re: RIP Gary Coleman Post by: Nebu on May 28, 2010, 12:45:59 PM Gary dead? What you talkin' bout Willis?
Sorry, I had to. :uhrr: It's depressing to see people about the same age as I am die. Title: Re: RIP Gary Coleman Post by: Minvaren on May 28, 2010, 12:54:43 PM I had forgotten Dana Plato was gone too. :uhrr:
RIP Gary. Title: Re: RIP Gary Coleman Post by: WayAbvPar on May 28, 2010, 12:59:56 PM Sad.
I bet you could have gotten some sweet odds on Todd Bridges outliving the other two, once upon a time. Why the hell do parents get their kids into acting young? It really seems to take a toll on happiness and longevity. Title: Re: RIP Gary Coleman Post by: naum on May 28, 2010, 01:42:23 PM Sad. I bet you could have gotten some sweet odds on Todd Bridges outliving the other two, once upon a time. Why the hell do parents get their kids into acting young? It really seems to take a toll on happiness and longevity. What about Conrad Bain? He still alive (age 87, according to Wikipedia) and may still outlive Bridges… Title: Re: RIP Gary Coleman Post by: Merusk on May 28, 2010, 01:48:28 PM Hospitalized after an injury? I'd heard brain hemorrhage earlier.. sounds like a hell of a fall. The sad fact is I"m expecting to hear it was related to yet another domestic disturbance.
Poor guy never really knew what to do with himself. At least he's no longer got any problems. Title: Re: RIP Gary Coleman Post by: Chimpy on May 28, 2010, 03:56:34 PM I mentioned this at work when someone brought this up (I had not heard Gary had died until that point) that I noticed on Wikipedia yesterday that it was Todd Bridges' birthday.
Maybe he had an evil birthday wish? All joking aside, seeing "child stars" die due to the self-destructive lifestyle hollywood puts them into at a young age is saddening. Title: Re: RIP Gary Coleman Post by: Signe on May 28, 2010, 04:02:32 PM "Different Strokes" will always mean something completely different to me now.
Title: Re: RIP Gary Coleman Post by: Ingmar on May 28, 2010, 05:14:00 PM This one probably shouldn't be chalked up to child star whatnot - dude had a ton of medical problems that had nothing to do with any of that.
Title: Re: RIP Gary Coleman Post by: Musashi on May 28, 2010, 06:40:06 PM Thing I read said it was a fall.
I will never forget you, Abubaka. Title: Re: RIP Gary Coleman Post by: Evildrider on May 28, 2010, 10:56:45 PM All joking aside, seeing "child stars" die due to the self-destructive lifestyle hollywood puts them into at a young age is saddening. I think Gary got screwed more because of health problems and the fact his parents spent all the money he made on Different Strokes. I don't blame Hollywood as much when it comes to Coleman. Title: Re: RIP Gary Coleman Post by: HaemishM on May 28, 2010, 11:03:24 PM I think he now knows what Willis was talking about all those years. :uhrr:
Title: Re: RIP Gary Coleman Post by: 01101010 on May 29, 2010, 04:04:08 AM How long till this becomes a domestic abuse murder, considering the history with his batshit crazy wife?
Title: Re: RIP Gary Coleman Post by: FatuousTwat on May 30, 2010, 03:19:05 AM His time was too short.
Title: Re: RIP Gary Coleman Post by: raydeen on May 30, 2010, 04:15:54 AM I think my favorite Coleman character was Gary James on Good Times. Just looking it up on IMDB, he was only on the show for two episodes, but I could have sworn it was more. He was a riot bursting into the scene trying to act all tough and macho and damn near laughing out loud doing it. Poor little dude had a fucked up life and didn't deserve one minute of it.
