Gary Coleman as Arnold

The 42 year-old died in a Utah hospital on Friday after doctors took him off life support. Reports say the star went into a coma after suffering an intracranial hemorrhage at his home on Wednesday. Coleman’s wife Shannon Price was at his side when he died.

Coleman, bright-eyed and skeptical became an instant star on "Diff'rent Strokes" which debuted in 1978; and his catchphrase “Whatchu talking ‘bout…” often followed by Wills (played by Todd Bridges) gave the show an iconic status.

Coleman played the younger of two African American bothers who were adopted by a wealthy white man.
