I am back. It has been a long time. I just do not know exactly how long. Damn, fucking interface changes! Well, I do not recall posting about Gary Coleman's death, or did I? It came quickly and kind of out of the blue. As I thought, though I do not recall if I posted, that it is surprising that of the "Drummond" children that Willis (Todd Bridges) would be the last one standing. Again, I would have thought it would be Kimberley (Dana Plato), but that was not to be. She committed suicide. In fact, her 25 year old son just did the same thing recently. He never did get over his mother's suicide. That does beg the question, "does one EVER get over" something like that? I am just not sure.
Of course, you do not get OVER it. You do learn how to cope and put it in perspective. The goal is to not allow that to overwhelm you and to live a life. Enjoy life as best one can with a heavy heart. Enjoy it nonetheless.
Now, word is out that Rue McLanahan has died. Here is the thing. She was "married" to Conrad Bain on "Maude" (with Bea Arthur who has been dead for about a year now). Gary Coleman was the adopted son of Conrad Bain on "Different Strokes" and Dana Plato is daughter. Esther Rolle, who played Maude's housekeeper, Florida, is also dead. Do you see the connection?
Apparently, if you are on a television show with Conrad Bain...you will die. If you played a relative of his on television, you will really die. Todd Bridges is not out of the woods yet. Then again, neither is Adrienne Barbeau or Bill Macy. I figure that with 2 co-stars dead (family members, too) in under a week in 2010, Todd Bridges should for sure be on the look out for the Grim Reaper.
Sad to say, but that is strange patterns talking, not me.
Ciao!
