Child Actor Gary Coleman...
Who was in Diff'rent Strokes, Good Times, Jeffersons and others.
He'll be missed.
:crying:

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA

Poor guy. RIP.
TG - Different Strokes was a pretty good sitcom back in the 70's. The three children in the cast seemed to be plagued with bad luck after the show ended.

Sad news. I wasn't aware of just how many health problems he had.

Yep, happens to all to many of them. Has to be tough going from being just another kid to being famous and rich and then boom, you're 'nobody' again.

Why do we tolerate the exploitation of child labor in acting when it is rightly condemned in every other venue? Do a Google search of all the famous child stars you can recall and be prepared for a series of the bitterest ragedies imaginable.

"Why do we tolerate the exploitation of child labor in acting..."
I agree with the sentiment but movies, television and the stage would be pretty sad without child actors - no Annie, no Oliver, no Paper Moon... There are laws to protect them - AFAIK, they are pretty strict in California especially. I'm sure more could be done but ultimately, the parents bear a lot of the responsibility and some of them are more stage struck than the kids. Having said that, I don't know if suicide, drug abuse etc. are any more prevalent among child stars than their peers.
At any rate and at the other end of the spectrum, Dennis Hopper just checked out at 71. It's getting dangerous to even look at the news anymore.
