it was disappointing to grow up with such a loveable character shoved down our throats on diff'rent strokes, back in the day when our channel choices were 1 or 2.
And then to hear constant media rumour mongering about the life of Gary Coleman as an adult. I refer to the many rumours of his deaths, drug and alcohol abuses etc, and to see he never got any serious work in tv or film. I hope he got stage work, but I only remember the cameo work he got, which was self mockery cameos.
Such a shame that an industry can be so heartless, but should I really expect anything, from anyone?.

He had been sick most of his life - kidney disease - poor bugger
