Gary Coleman: 1968-2010

Gary Coleman starred in "Diff'rent Strokes" from 1978-1986. At the height of his fame he was making $100,000/episode. And that's in 1980s dollars!

Coleman also starred in "Good Times" and "The Jeffersons" before making it big with "Diff'rent Strokes" at the age of 10.

After his run on "Diff'rent Strokes," Coleman led a troubled life. He sued his parents and business manager for squandering his TV fortune, then proceeded to squander what was left of it himself. He was arrested for punching a woman in a bar, held a series of odd jobs including being a security guard, and even ran for governor of California (as did porn star Mary Carey, pictured) in 2003.   

Coleman married Shannon Price, 22, on August 28, 2007. The two met on the set of his 2006 film "Church Ball."

Coleman and Price went on "Divorce Court" in May 2008, less then a year after they wed. They ended up staying together.
