Diff'rent Strokes was a TV show from the late 70s through 1986 about an upper class father and his daughter who took in the two sons of their recently deceased housekeeper. The show made stars of Gary Coleman, Todd Bridges, and Dana Plato. While a comedy, the show explored serious issues such as drug and child sexual abuse. Later, in real life, Gary Coleman, who suffered from a congenital kidney disease that stunted his growth, filed for bankruptcy and ran into legal trouble before dying an early death at 42. | Diff'rent Strokes was a TV show from the late 70s through 1986 about an upper class father and his daughter who took in the two sons of their recently deceased housekeeper.
