I was wathing a DS documentry earlier and I can't believe how crule Gary Coleman's parents were.
He said he wanted to quit after the first few seasons but they made him continue, and he had to work 15 hour days. On top of all that they swindle his funds and then wipe all memories of him from their house. Gary really has had things hard, he can't even do a normal job without being attacked by fans, I hope one day maybe he will get some good luck. |

I agree with you Jethro. Its sad that everyone has to make fun of him. Like in the Weakest Link, I thought Anne really pushed the buttons with those stupid questions. Why must everyone question his sex life?
But beyond that, I think Gary was a child actor prodigy. I read in an old Tiger Beat magazine, that when he started DS, he could memorize his lines quickly and he could improvise. If I had to read some lines, I probably would choke, get nervous, and mess everything up. What a talent he was. |

When your in the business, your in it till you die, he takes the blame for his moves. by the way Jethro where did you see the DS doc? I do agree Gary has had tough times. Shavar Ross (dudley) told me it takes dedication..

It does take dedicationto act but he didn't really get any say in it. BTW, The documentry was "TV Guide's Truth Behind The sitcom scanadal" that I got on a tape sent by someone. |

Why don't you shut the **** up Mary Ann.
I don't even know why you have that use name, Dixie Carter's not your mom and even if she was I doubt she'd want to admit it. Anyway, I think Gary Coleman has achieved more in his life than you ever will. |
