I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

I feel sorry for those child stars. They always come out so f'd up. MJ for example, not that I excuse the things they do.

i hear ya 547. no excuses, but i can't imagine how i woulda turned out under such circumstances. any of these people who make something of their lives, acting or not, has my respect.

i heard about this on the radio this afternoon. adult life couldn't have been much more kind to this guy than the distorted reality likely experienced as a kid.

r.i.p. gary.

you're right tramp. I think that Todd Bridges (Willis) is the only one who stuck with television after he had his own troubles though. He was on a show in the recent years called Everybody Hates Chris- my kids love that show

as a kid i would practically live for the night Different Strokes was on, i always felt awful for him with all the crap he has gone through in his too short life. i saw something on the Biography channel about 6 months ago, told all about his life and trials he went through. none of the 3 kids in that show had an easy time of it. Dana Plato ended up as homeless and a convicted felony thief, Todd Bridges was in and out of jail and rehab for his drug problem, though he cracks me up when he's on that show worlds dumbest...............
