just another sad story in a long line of childhood actors. it would seem that the entire child cast of different strokes was cursed. Todd Bridges law problems, Dana Plato's suicide, now Colemans demise.

We're all familiar with "One Hit Wonders", but "One Phrase Wonders"?
The entertainment industry is known for chewing up and spitting out "talent", and the young ones are certainly no exception. They just have fewer options when they get used and abused and tossed out. Sad, indeed, but it's the nature of the beast.

Charlotte Rae and Conrad Bain have outlived two of the the three kids now. Weird.

Unfortunately, he's always had a lot of medical problems.
