R.I.P Gary Coleman

May 28, 2010

The 70’s and 80’s child star of the popular show “Different Strokes” died of a brain hemorrhage today at the age of 42. Coleman was born on Feb. 8, 1968 and rose to notoriety as the precocious Arnold Jackson in the American Sitcom “Different Strokes” spanning 1978- 1986. Though he was seen as a promising star, he suffered from emotional and financial problems later in life. He allowed the world a deeper look into his troubled life though the popular reality show “The Surreal Life” back in the early 2000’s.  Though later in his life he was known more for his antics than his acting, this former child star will be missed.
