The short man has bought the farm.

Whachu talking bout Walter.

 

[lone wolf]

Never as happy as he acted.... Rest in peace.

Always seemed like he was so troubled. At least from the news reports about him and in reading that page attached, he apparently tried to commit suicide twice so obviously he did not have a happy life. I liked him.

Seems that America doesn't seem to treat their celebrities of colour with any respect.

Gary Coleman was a good person and a good actor

Yeah, all those black athletes and actors that don't get lucrative advertising contracts just makes me want to wretch.

How then do you explain Dana Plato?

How then do you explain Dana Plato?

Yes she got charged and then people forgot because the American media left at that but the actors of colour American tend to remind the public on a regular bases

You sure set your standards low...

Seems like you don't have a clue what you are talking about. There are lots of black entertainers that got respect: Bill Cosby, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross are just a few. The list could go on ond on.

What's there to explain? :smile:

Unfortunately, having your parents and your agent spend all of your money and leaving you so destitute that you have to work in low-paying jobs will do that to you.

Rest in peace, Mr. Coleman.:-(
