"What you talkin' 'bout, Willis?" Sad news from Utah, where child actor Gary Coleman has died after being hospitalized for a brain hemorrhage. It's still early on and the full medical details are unclear, so I'm not going there. His health has been problematic. Will update with information as it comes. I'm also not going into the circus that his life had often become after growing out of his childhood superstardom, but there's a lot of that to be mined in the days to come. Instead, I've embedded the open to "Diff'rent Strokes," the groundbreaking television show that made Coleman famous but has simply been unable to shake tragedy and scandal since.
