Dana Plato

Born: 1963-11-01 - Died: 1999-05-08
Cause of Death:
Suicide


Death Summary: Plato was 35 years old when she overdosed on Vanadom (Soma) and Vicodin in her parked RV. The death was ruled a suicide.

The day before she died, she had appeared on the Howard Stern show and was the center of much name-calling by callers, who called her things like "has-been", "addict", and "ex-con lesbian drug addict with mental problems".

Who was Dana Plato : Dana Plato will forever be known as Kimberly on the show Diff'rent Strokes, the sister to Arnold and Willis, played by Gary Coleman and Todd Bridges respectively.

After Diff'rent strokes went off the air, Plato's career sunk to playing roles in B-movies, some of which bordered on soft-core porn. She had experienced drug and alcohol problems since she was a child. She overdosed on Valium at the age of 14.

  2. Johnny Says:

  3. rosie Says:

    she was just getting started in her career she will be missed

  4. Stacey Luck Says:

    Very tragic sad life story. This is an example of why a person can not let what others say define who you are…

  5. Mickey Says:

    R.I.P Dana, you will be sorely missed.

  6. Michelle Says:

    Dana, I know what it is to be disappointed to wake up every morning and find yourself alive.
    I know what it is like living after your anti-depressant has worn off to soon.
    You were mistunderstood–I know, because every morning I see you in my mirror.
    I am so sorry for you.

  7. Tereka Smith Says:

    This is beyond sad to me. To think that people were so cruel to her the day earlier. I hope Stern rethinks some of the horrible stuff he does. People are exploited endlessly by sum like him. Also all the name callers, I know, the wrath will come for every time you judge and point a thumb, you will pay for it three fold. You no doubt know that now!!

  8. Andy, Oldham, U.K. Says:

    Life is a fragile thing… A Flower thats gone leaves a memory of summer.
    You’ll be missed.

  9. Paul Petersen Says:

  17. Michel L Says:

    I grew up with this young lady, so beautiful. It saddens me that she never got to live her life. RIP

  18. Zenworks Itbusiness Says:

    Fragile come un fiore, luce di molti miei ricordi.

    tuo, Mr

  19. willis Says:

    i have so many fond memories of dana and the rim jobs she would give the cast and crew for some coke. her tounge would actually tickle my liver. she would get in deep, that was a fact motherfucker. i loved the way she woud look for young pussies to suck on each day. when she came into your dressing room and would fart loud it meant she wanted anal. if she puked twice on your nutsack it meant more fisting by a midget. she loved vicodin and feces mixed together with rabbit blood. i think we should dig her up and have her on a reunion show for different spooks. a rotting corpse always gets the ratings and the laughs. what you talkin bout corpse. no thats a line that gets laughs. as a negro and a loser i will make this happen.

  20. Ricky A Schiller Says:

    So young and beautiful too soon. Dana may your soul rest in piece.

  21. jim Says:

    a tragic waste and missed so much RIP dana.

  22. Tamara D Says:

    RIP to Dana, Haim & don’t forget about Coleman as well but…, soon just sooner or later Lindsay Lohan (remember that Mean Girls starlet)will end up just like Plato when she was in HER 20s.

    GOD HELP OUR SOULS! sad
