Wow. Gary Coleman was my childhood idol and Dana Plato was my first crush. Both of them are now dead (and Dana Plato’s only child committed suicide just two weeks ago).
Who will be next?

Gary Coleman will always be famous and everyone from that generation of TV will remember him. He had so much charisma and acting chops at that age and was funny as hell.
RIP.
