    Pretty interesting

    I always like Gary Coleman on Diff'rent Strokes and remember him from some TV movies back in the day. This was pretty interesting to hear about his ex wife and her take on Gary and their relationship. I feel sorry for her because it does seem she misses him, perhaps things could have turned out different for them.

    Soulless attempt to make money off of Coleman's death

    By all accounts, from the moment of Coleman's birth, to his last day on earth, he was surrounded by people who wanted nothing more than to use him for their own benefit. Now i find out that his soulless ex-wife who sat and watched him die because she 'didn't like blood' is still trying to take him for all he's worth long after his, in all likelihood, preventable death? Absolutely disgusting.

    Do not watch this and do not watch any piece of media that any of the associated people are a part of.

    If you want to lose all hope in humanity, listen to the 911 call Shannon Price placed on the day of Coleman's 'accident'. If you can listen to that call and still think this deserves your viewership or support, then you are beyond redemption.

    What a horrible girl

    Obviously she used him like everyone else did.

    She is an oddball and is using this documentary to profit from him some more. The true 911 call said it all. I love gary and feel so bad that he was treated so horribly all of his life and that his life got so bad that he had to succumb to living with and marrying this chick. This documentary is a complete joke.

    Great Documentary

    This was a really great documentary that everyone should watch. It's well-told and well-made.
