Wow, a little rough ...

Perhaps the OP posted this because his mother committed suicide exactly 11 years before.

Like mother, like son....I guess suicide runs in the family.

Read the book that Todd Bridges released last month called Killing Willis . I never realized all the stuff that was going on behind the scenes. It is no wonder everyone involved with the show had a rough life . Todd Bridges is doing better now though, he seems to have gotten his life together.

You serious? His mom had to work at a dry cleaner to make ends meet- she died broke and addicted.

Its a rough read, but the best synopsis of the book is here:

He also talks a little about Gary Coleman and why he thinks Coleman became so bitter and angry. Coleman's father made Gary work even when the kid was terribly ill and constantly was pushing him to make more money and isolating him from any friends or other family.

Just STFU already. It must be really hard to always act like you are black when you really aren't.

Plus you didn't even read the article, of course.

Don't look now but it seems Conrad Bain is giving you the finger.

Most of us will never even get the chance to have half as much money as she pissed away.

Keep in mind the series was in the late 70s or early 80s. They made nothing compared to what people make today doing TV.

I used to watch that show growing up, and seeing Dana Plato in tight jeans when I was a kid was nice.

But this is a sad story and its a shame the poor guy couldnt live with the pain anymore. :'(

Nobody gives a shit about this NEWS story. It's as if we aren't smart enough to read the fucking news on our own or something.
