Part 2 of the Diff'rent Strokes Series

Laura and Tammy dive right into the life of everyone's favorite little brother: Gary Coleman. Gary, who played Arnold Drummond, was the the lead of the show and the breadwinner of his house at the age of 10 years old. He also had crippling kidney disease, was taken advantage of by his parents, his fans and his romantic relationships. Gary was a tiny man, with a big smile and even bigger demons.

Laura and Tammy also discuss how his tragic and senseless death was suspicious and how his "widow" continued to speak his name to open doors.

Part 1 of the DIfferent Strokes Series.

During the huge hit, Diff'rent Strokes, Dana Plato was everyone's big sister. The show dealt with controversial topics and then Dana had one of her own- a teenage pregnancy. She was promptly fired and that began the downward spiral that would lead to divorce, drug use and ultimately her robbing a video store and then returning. She struggled with addiction and disgrace until the day of her death following a humiliating & extremely cruel appearance on the Howard Stern Show.
