Did you ever stop to think that if she had been confronted with the ugly truth
about herself, maybe she'd be alive today?

Why do you think I said what I said. I just lost someone who was near
and dear to me for 25 years who kept lying to herself about her drug
problem. I'm tired of mourning self-destructive people. And if I have to
kick the ones who are still alive in the butt to keep them alive, well,
I will kick them in the butt every chance I get.
So in other words: "Bend over Drew Barrymore and grab ahold of your
ankles!"

Why would you call Drew Barrymore "self-destructive"?

Sorry, I got my obituary/Dana Plato threads mixed up. But Drew
Barrymore is an actress who claims to be clean and sober. Well, I live
in Las Vegas and one night at a very new and expensive casino and hotel,
there was Drew among many other stars, and she was as drunk as drunk can
be. My parents and most of my family are alcoholics, so I know what
being drunk looks like and she was drunk. And if she gets popped into
the stereo cabinet, it's her own damn fault too.

I assume that Ms. Plato must have shot your dog for you to write such a
hate-filled message.

I didn't know her, I don't know if she was good or bad or just pathetic, but
news of her death certainly didn't fill me with hatred. Why so harsh?

I'm glad to see that the crime dog is such a compassionate, humane
individual. Plato's body is barely room temperature before he rants for
7000 bytes about what a horror she was. Did she ever give you an STD?

(The Associated Press) Former TV child actress Dana Plato has died of what
police say is an accidental overdose of a painkiller and valium.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At least the world can now rest easy that one of the three brat stars of the
hit sitcom 'Diff'rent Strokes' has mercifully rid the world of their juvenile
delinquent presence. It would seem the Terrible Trio of Sitcom Fuck-Ups --
woman-slapper, Gary Coleman; murderer-cum-drug-pusher, Todd Bridges; and the
all-around embarrassment, Plato herself -- had made a bet to see whose face
could land more covers on the National Enquirer. With this stunningly
successful feat of suicide par excellence, it becomes apparent that Plato has
vaulted herself into the lead by a nose. The same nose she used to snort up
all that coke. The skanky Plato, who had enough white lines running through
her veins to shock Grandmaster Flash, was fired from her one-and-only bid for
stardom in 1984 for slutting herself around town and getting knocked up in
the process. While such "sensitive" topics as bulimia, kidnapping, statutory
rape, drugs, and green hair were not too taboo for NBC's overbearingly-cute
television show, network executives apparently could not handle the
frightening thought of the virginal Kimberly Drummond in a size-16 maternity
gown and escorted Plato's pregnant butt off the set. From that career high
point, the budding Heidi Fleiss went on to destroy two lives: her own and
that of her bastard baby's. Like most eternally-high, no-talent whores, Dana
Plato was branded unhireable and found that even small parts on bad sitcoms
such as 'Webster' were hard to find. While Plato's replacement, Danny
Cooksey, went on to win over the hearts (but not the stomachs) of wholesome
family-oriented programme-lovers everywhere, Plato's acting career
extinguished itself faster than you can say JM J. Bullock. In the place of
an actual job, Plato divided her time between popping downers and being the
kind of mother Joan Crawford's children would have been proud to call 'Mommie
Dearest'. Surely Plato's now-teenaged son will soon know what it's like to be
abandoned by your own good-for-nothing parents. Talk about history repeating
itself -- Plato's mother freed herself of the demon spawn she created when
Dana was but a pointy-tailed little infant. Plato's greed-mongering adopted
parents were a better match. Much like Macaulay's Culkin's screwed-up
parental figures, the elder Platos recognised a money tree when they saw one
and made sure to teach young Dana the art of career prostitution at an early
age. After steering the talent-free actress through a host of commercials so
annoying they make that Pepsi girl a breath of fresh air by comparison, Mr.
and Mrs. Goody-Two-Shoes refused to believe that they had taken in Rosemary's
Baby and denied their darling the chance of a lifetime to take on the role of
Regan MacNeil in _The Exorcist_, ironically, a part which she was born to
play. It was the other bad actress, Linda Blair, who snatched up that one.
Nor would the selective pair allow their good girl to cavort around naked in
_The Blue Lagoon_, while the vacant Christopher Atkins caressed her sultry
bosom. So that role wound up with the equally-talented (but far hotter),
Brooke Shields. No, our dearest Dana is going to be a perfect little angel
and star in wholesome fair. Like 'Diff'rent Strokes'. With nowhere to go
but hell, Plato decided to steer her career in the direction she seemed a
natural for - selling her body for money. Hooking (or is that hookering?) up
with Playboy in 1989, Plato showed off her innumerable needle punctures and
crack pallor for the benefit of horny, teenaged speed-addicts everywhere. The
magazine public who weren't tripped out of their mind were not so easily
fooled, however. By 1991, Plato's spreads were even more finished than
Plato's actor's resume, and the young bimbo was following her dreams by
exploiting her God-given gifts of armed robbery and forgery. In between trips
to the county jail, she made a comeback, of sorts, starring in fine cinematic
cow dung like the immortal _Bikini Beach Race_ and her apparent
screen-biopic, _Compelling Evidence_. But it was 1997's dyke-fest titled,
ironically, _Different Strokes_ that Dana Plato's breasts really got to
shine. The act of Plato's not-so-luscious hooters frollicking around in the
company of another hot-to-snot lesbian was too much for the MPAA who stamped
the film with an instant X. Would that X stand for X-addict, by any chance?
During Plato's most productive period of filling up the straight-to-video
section over at the local Blockbuster, Dana found her raging libido no longer
satisfied by that of the male species. Long before Ellen DeGeneres made it
fashionable, Plato came out as a lesbian in the lesbo-pride mag, Girlfriends.
Long after David Bowie and Lou Reed made it fashionable, Plato renegged on
her statement. The few friends the publicity-starved Plato had left at this
point must have realised that if their crack whore of a pal becomes any more
sexually-confused, she'll have to don a silly hat, gaudy glasses, and a
sequin-studded outfit and sing 'The Bitch Is Back'. Miss Plato guested on
the Howard Stern show but three days before her death in a last-ditch effort
to try to convince some terminally-gullible moron that Her Wastedness had
been clean and sober for an entire decade. Smart Stern-fans spotted the
tell-tale signs of pain-killer withdrawals and called up to laugh at her,
prompting the little liar to "come clean" about a wisdom tooth extraction and
submit a strand of her greasy, lice-ridden hair for a drug test. Gee, Dana,

Well, the title says it all: Lying Junkie. I think just about everybody
these days is fed up with rehab centers with revolving doors and the
celebrities who seem to come and go out of those places at whim. It
cheapens the idea that you can go somewhere and get help for substance
abuse with some degree of success. And how many celebrities have gotten
out of doing some real jail time by checking into the nearest rehab
facility. Me, I've seen too many people, including my best gal and my
sister-in-law, lie themselves into an early grave.

I'm not often drawn to public comment in this Newsgroup, but your base
message of hatred called me to the keyboard.

Dana Plato I never knew, or saw, but your basic lack of human compassion and
insults suggests that you could benefit from some serious counseling
yourself.

I know that various federal agency staff read this NG, perhaps they could
save another soul from suffering by watching you carefully. Such hatred
seems to indicate an unbalanced mind.

I hope nobody posts such a hate filled message upon your demise.

Just my shocked observations.

Of course the guy (I'm sure it's a guy) who started this hate thread is
an agent himself. An 'agent provocateur', a.k.a. a troll, a.k.a. a very
sad person who is hungry for attention.

BTW, which one of you is a federal agent? Ellsworth? Probably. Epstein?
Probably not.

I'm not, although I'd love to get money for reading this NG (especially

We've missed this one so far in England.

After reading your obit. for her, perhaps one of our TV companies will pick
it up.

Oy Vey:

What an insightful and well written Obit. I actually enjoyed your scathing
article on Dana...it was almost an investigative piece. Do you happen to
have anymore obits as well written as this for me to read. Wherever Dana is
now, she would be ashamed to have read what you wrote about her. I
appreciate your candor...as there is no sense in making a person a saint
just because she is dead.

Wow, so many adjectives, such a minor celebrity. You must really load up the
adjective machine when someone of consequences dies that you don't like.

I never saw a single episode of "Diff'rent Strokes"--couldn't stand all the
cuteness that my mother (a fan) described to me. Still, I wonder if these
seriously troubled people are really diatribe material.

You know something, buddy? With a soul as bitter as yours, you died
long before Dana did.

And are you so sure that it's a troll and not an expression of real feeling?
There are people who react in this manner on hearing of the death of someone
they dislike.

A troll, nonetheless.

Cattlovrr, this is just a pimple-faced spoo-boy sneaking in the library
after school because of blisters from hand-to-gland combat. Too many
spelling and syntax errors.

BTW, you forgot to crosspost this and sneak in some newsgroups like
rec.pets.cats and alt.sewing as followups. Oh, that's right, you don't get
followups in DejaNews.
HTH.
Cujo.

I'm not sure it's Cattle Lover but I strongly suspect that it is. Same M.O.
really: All caps title-line, cross-posted to the same old groups as Cattle
Lover loves to troll, and with the same crapola-on-a-stick writing that just
screams "Hey! I'm a troll! Here's some bait" that still continues to suck
people in right and left.

Recently looked up what the remaining strokes stars were up to career wise being aware of Gary's death notwithstanding, and was shocked to find Dana had died almost seventeen years ago. Is it so far removed from the event to be sad about her after so long,although I am. She appeared to be a young lady with no evidence of vitriol/ spitefulness/ anger in her character whatsoever and with what we now know was an extremely difficult period in her life. Perhaps her naivety and trust of everyone was her downfall with the usual Que. of freeloaders and hacks all too eager to appear willing to take another bite. It appears that the thread was started by the very same, when at her lowest and final moment there appears to be another waiting in the obligatory Que.. Dana may have in her last moments demonstrated how strong she actually was, by ending her tormentors ability to berate her, the hateful words of the author of this thread are as meaningless as themselves. RIP Dana
