Robin Givens? Yeah, she was good looking. She also appeared in an episode of the Cosby Show as one of Denise's friends that Theo had a crush on until he discovered she had a boyfriend. Many years later, she played one of Malik's girlfriends on about 3 episodes of the Game and she looked great then.

didn't Gary Coleman talk about his health problems during the show's run in his biography?

I was under the impression that he was in a lot of pain, and he didn't even want to do the show anymore but his parents/manager were basically forcing him to keep doing it because he was their meal ticket.

Can you imagine being a kid and having to act while being seriously ill, because your parents think of you as a cash cow?

:(

Yeah I think it was mentioned on E!'s THS or A&E Biography.

I just saw that episode again, and it looked like Gary had been losing weight (perhaps a by product of his dialysis treatments) again towards the last few episodes. I wonder how the shooting schedule for Season 8 was like because towards the end, Todd Bridges cut his hair (at the start of the last season, he had a jeri-curl hairstyle before changing it to closely cut fade)?

I'm not sure what all the "lol"s are about, considering you're talking about someone in pain.

I suppose I could say the same to you, but then what would happen to your life? There'd be nothing left.

I had heard that his parents even made him work when he was on dialysis. He'd do a scene, throw up, keep hooked up, and be forced to return to work.
