Gary Coleman
Gary Coleman became a household name thanks to his starring role in Diff’rent Strokes. He also has a place in pop culture history thanks to his iconic catchphrase: “Whatchoo talkin’ ’bout Willis?”
Sadly, Coleman passed away on May 28, 2010, due to an epidural hematoma he suffered after a fall. Coleman was only 42 and might have lived longer if not for his lifelong struggle with the autoimmune kidney disease that gave him his short height and youthful appearance.
