Gary Coleman, Child Star Actor died at age 42

0


We remember him on Diff’rent Strokes in which he played as Arnold Jackson, the stubbly little Harlem boy who was adopted into a wealthy white household from 1978-86. His catchphrase of, “What’choo talkin’ ’bout, Willis?” made Coleman a household name and by age 11 had skyrocketed to become TV’s brightest star pulling down as much as $100,000 per episode.  Despite congenital health problems which led to his never growing taller than 4′8,” Coleman experienced a towering achievement at the start of his career in which he was featured in numerous television and films.  Unfortunately he struggled financially as an adult and would later file for bankruptcy, including suing his parents for misappropriation of assets.   Coleman is survived by his ex-wife and his adoptive parents.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Coleman
