On May 8, 1999, the world was saddened by the news that actor Dana Plato, died in Moore, Oklahoma. As a child star in Eighties TV show ‘Diff’rent Strokes’ Dana had captured the heart of America playing everyone’s favourite older sister, Kimberley Drummond. It seemed nothing could stop her. But after riding high on the show’s success, her career dwindled and Dana suffered a series of crushing lows including the loss of her beloved adoptive mum as well as a marriage breakdown. As Dana’s life continued to unravel, she turned to alcohol and drugs to deal with her problems becoming a Hollywood pariah. Dana was found dead in her RV at the age of just 34. She had died of a multidrug overdose and her passing was originally reported as accidental but the autopsy report would later rule this death as suicide. There are those that remain convinced that the young mother with so much to live for would never take her own life. So what really happened? World renowned forensic pathologist, Dr. Michael Hunter needs to analyze every detail of Dana’s autopsy, toxicology report and personal testimonies to find out more about her last days and whether Dana Plato really meant to commit suicide?

Drugs, crime, and death; the downward spiral of the child cast of Diff’rent Strokes is one for the ages. The once adored child actors Gary Coleman, Dana Plato, and Todd Bridges were brought to fame at an early age for their roles in the 80’s TV show. However, their individual endeavors after the show were defined by drug addiction, financial struggles, and arrests. Dana Plato robbed a dry cleaners, Gary Coleman divorced his parents and had anger issues, and Todd Bridges was a drug addict. Plato’s suicide in 1999 and Coleman’s death in 2010 have left the nation wondering how these beloved child actors could succumb to such a tragic turn of events.

Born Mary Catherine Collins in Long Beach, California, Bo Derek stumbled into acting and then fame through sheer luck and circumstance. Her first role came in an independent film directed by John Derek, a man who would forever change her life. The two fell in love despite a 30-year age difference and the fact that Derek was married to Linda Evans, a beautiful and talented star in her own right. Labelled as outlaws from the start, the two married and began a long and controversial life together. A single phone call led to Bo being cast in the film “10,” turning her into a superstar literally overnight. But fame was fickle and after John bucked the studio system and directed Bo in his own films including Tarzan and Bolero, the media scorched the couple – Bo for being talentless and John for being a Svengali. Quietly Bo became an accomplished producer always bringing in her films on time and under budget, but the media ignored her skills, harping on her physical appearance and the couples’ age difference. When John passed of a heart attack, Bo reinvented herself, continuing to act but also embracing activism on behalf of veterans and animals. She also unexpectedly found another John, the actor John Corbett, and the two have been a happily unmarried couple for nearly 20 years. Today, Bo is as beautiful as ever, aging gracefully, enjoying her beloved horses and continuing to act.

Early bit but standout parts in films like Saturday Night Fever saw her move from New York to L.A. where she worked regularly and where she and Peter got married. Frustrated with not being recognized for her unique abilities, a chance encounter with the head of CBS lead to her developing, pitching and selling the Nanny and launching her to superstardom. The dark side of fame came when the media uncovered and reported on a horrific assault she and Peter had survived years earlier. While in therapy to recover from the assault, Peter revealed that he was gay, severing their long-time relationship as colleagues and partners. With the end of the Nanny and her marriage, Fran didn’t want for work but couldn’t replicate the success of the Nanny. Shortly after the show ended, she learned that she had ovarian cancer. Surviving that gave her a new mission, an organization she founded called Cancer Schamncer, dedicated to teaching people how to avoid cancer and giving survivors support.
