Who was Gary Coleman? He became well-known in the late 1970s as Arnold Jackson, the wisecracking younger brother in “Diff’rent Strokes”. His catchphrase, “Whatcha talkin’ ’bout, Willis?” became memorable. Despite his early success, Coleman’s life was plagued by court disputes, financial troubles, and health issues caused by a congenital kidney ailment that slowed his growth and necessitated constant medical treatment. Deep all around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
