I was reading an article that said the guy made about $18 Million over his career and when he turned 18 and was able to access the the trust fund his parents setup for him, there was only $220,000 in it.

Just goes to show you how all it takes is "one" bad person in your life to ruining you for a long time.

Oh, Lisa Bloom can scold me anytime she wants :).

Didn't most of the cast of Different Strokes have issues? I know the older kid (Todd Bridges I think) got into drugs real bad. And I think the girl ended up in porn, or something.

I loved that show growing up. Ahhh . . . I miss the 80's.

The actors who played Mr Drummond and Mrs Garrett wound up the worst after the show. They wound up being busted for running a sweat shop of underage workers making ponchos in mexico.

It wouldn't have been so bad if was just that but when he got busted for selling cocaine to the girls on Facts of Life, well, that was the end for him.

Yes...and it was later reported that the ponchos being made were sold to some kind of rebel/terrorist groups in central america but I don't remember which group it was. And as someone else stated, they were selling cocaine to the girls on the facts of life show and even George Clooney and Leo Dicaprio (sp?) admitted to buying cocaine from them when they had their short stints on the show.

Dana Plato had committed suicide in 1999. Her son just committed suicide earlier this month.

Sad.
