I really enjoyed watching this TV movie last night. And it certainly said a lot about the exploitation of children in show business. The only sympathetic parent was Todd Bridges' mother...although Gary Coleman's mother was sympathetic at first.
What is the name of the actor who played Conrad Bain? I do not see it listed in the credits?
Gary Coleman still has a lot of issues to work through. But I can see he is on the road to recovery. He has been through so much.
What happened to Dana Plato's child? Is he with his father?
I hope Todd Bridges continues to achieve success in the future. He deserves it.
