Smile A Post Dedicated To Dana Plato

Since Dana is obviously so pouler with everyone here, I thought it would be a good idea if everyone posted up different pictures, messages, memories and favourite moments.

I'll start off with the picture on my Avtar

Default Dana was a nice person.

When I met her, I didn't know she was an actress. After spending some time with her, if I hadn't asked her what she did in Northridge for a living (she lived there at the time), I might not have come to know that she was an actress--except I might have guessed because of her exceptionally nice looks and her unique personality. She was genuine and modest and she didn't strive to fill me in about the extent of her career as an actress. She was a sweet, down to earth, fun to be with person.

Talking Alrighty then...

Welll if you all are going to be sticks in the mud and not put in a good word for Dana, I'll add another myself. I've been lucky enough to get to know a woman who was Dana's best friend. She's told me lots of nice thngs about Dana. Without going into detail I'll pass on that Dana was extremely generous with her time, and would do a favor for someone when she could with no questions asked.

Here we go, I'll participate, since Kitt is my friend and Dana portrayed a good character on one of the best sitcoms ever made (a great achievement that many people don't accomplish).

So here's a photo:

Here's a picture of when all 3 of them re-untied in the late 90s.

Thumbs up

JethroSimpson, that is one prize photo of the 3 of them together like that. With the exception of Todd Bridges being bald, they look pretty much the same in that photo as in the last seasons of DS.

True. Willis had bad hairdue.

As for Dana, she seemed to be a really nice person and I wished I could have met her.

LOL, Todd Bridges has no hairdo in that photo. But I guess he doesn't want to look like "Willis" anymore.

Gee, that saddens me a bit to see that photo; knowing that was one of the last times they reunited like that.

I'll participate too! I would've posted this before, but I don't look at every post like I used too.

Dana really was a special person. The girl could do anything. She acted, she could sing beautifully, ice skate gracefully, the talents she could perform could really go on and on. She was a special person, who shall always be remembered. Dana is still able to bring a smile to everybody's face just by watching Diff'rent Strokes and movies. She was a rare sparkling jewel that shall forever live in our hearts. RIP Dana

I've got a lot of Dana pictures that I have taken on my site from Family on Ice and Bulimia. Here is an example

Man, have I missed a lot! I can't believe I've never seen this post! Well....I'm sure everyone knows this is my favorite pic of Dana.



We will miss you forever.
