Gary Coleman
Before I moved to the States, I wanted to be Arnold Jackson, the character that Gary Coleman played in Diff’rent Strokes. Think about it, his mother dies and he and his brother are rescued from the ghetto by the wealthy Mr. Drummond. In eight seasons of Diff’rent Strokes, Arnold met Muhammad Ali, Mr. T., Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Reggie Jackson, Janet Jackson (as Charlene), Captain Lou...

Taste
I understand. There are certain movies you like and some you hate. We all do. It’s human (high five!) But if you find yourself in the “hate” line for Westerns, we in the “like” line say, “you just don’t have the spine for it.” And that’s O.K. I am so drunk.

Art Heist! →

Unrealized Potential

Lena Horne, Sultry Singer and Actress, Dies at 92... →
Looking back at the age of 80, Ms. Horne said: “My identity is very clear to me now. I am a black woman. I’m free. I no longer have to be a ‘credit.’ I don’t have to be a symbol to anybody; I don’t have to be a first to anybody. I don’t have to be an imitation of a white woman that Hollywood sort of hoped I’d become. I’m me, and I’m like nobody else.”
