2024
Gary (2024) is an American documentary about the life of actor Gary Coleman, directed by Robin Dashwood and release on 29 August 2024.
The film explores Coleman’s life – including his ongoing ill health - as a child star after his success in Diff’rent Strokes and his struggles with fame.
Also covered is that Coleman became estranged from his adoptive parents after he found they – and his business manager - had allegedly been stealing from the trust fund he had set up as a 10-year-old. Coleman’s parents denied they were doing anything wrong.
There are also questions raised about Coleman’s death, about the circumstances of the fall which caused his head injury. At the time he was living in Utah with his ex-wife Shannon Price with whom he had a difficult relationship.
