I met her when I was working as musical director at the Upper Canada Playhouse. She was sitting in front of the Thousand Island Playhouse smoking a cigarette. The theatre was dark that day and we ended up spending the day together. She said that I really made her laugh, and we even wrote a little song together. I call it "Life on Plato" When I look at it now, the lyrics are rather lonely and sad.
Gosh I could picture this. She’s smoking a cigarette contemplating, wanting to get away, wanting a simple pleasure. God bless you for being a good human and giving her some of your time. 🙏🏼✨🕊️

Alfred I had no idea that her Son killed himself. Thank you for sharing that. Poor Dana, she seemed great on TV as a Child but I just watched her on The Love Boat circa 84 and she wasn't as good. There was already something wrong 😕
She was a lovely girl. She seemed to have a gentle spirit masked by the turmoil of her life. I wish she'd been able to conquer all the troubles that plagued her.
Agreed, she deserved so much better than what she got in her life away from Diff'rent Strokes, just so full of turmoil & heartache she really shouldn't have & didn't need 2 go thru.
I just got sober myself in June 1991. I'm grateful I am just your average ordinary guy. Being a Hollywood star your life is under a microscope. RIP Dana!❤
zabaleta -- While people who say that obviously have good and kind intentions, imagine someone like this woman hearing that non-stop. No matter what the discussion being undertaken, the reaction would be "gee you look great!". Her real issues and pain lay deep inside of her mind and soul and her outside beauty could do nothing to rectify it.
I wish you guys would stop saying dumb ass shit like that. She need help stop fucking blaming Hollywood. You can't save someone who doesn't wanna be saved. R.I.P beautiful 🙏🏿
I forgot that What we know as "The Maury Show" today used to be an actual talk show, like: with proper guests and stuff. Unbelievably : the show still exists today. Its gradually devolved into a repetitive infomercial for paternity testing. Its strange to see the direction it started from. In an alternate reality somewhere: Oprah is yelling out "you are not the father!" on daytime TV.
People tend to forget that both he and Jerry Springer started out as Geraldo-type shows until they saw the market for more risky stories that could get more ratings. Some may call it selling out, but if it brings in more $$, then how can you say no?
It's incredibly tragic that she took her own life. Had she been a teenaged sitcom star in the 2000s, 2010s, they wouldn't have fired her. Look at Jamie Lynn Spears, Fantasia Barrino, and other celebs were were teenaged moms. Hell, they even made a show called "16 and Pregnant" or something. Our society is less judgmental these days. Yes, that can be due to a decline in good family values, but being a teenaged mom shouldn't equal the end of one's promising career. I loved watching reruns of "Different Strokes" when I was a little girl. Dana Plato was beautiful, funny, and awesome. She would have been great on "Facts of Life" as well, I am sure. Rest in peace sweet angel, your loyal fans will never forget you.
She actually was not a teen-aged mom. She was a young adult who had gotten married and had every intention of having a child. She knew she was going to be written out of the show, but wanted a child so she would, in her own words, never be lonely again. I don't know why they took the route they did. Television was changing radically by that time and they could have easily written a story line where Kimberly got married and had a child, and it would have fit. I was surprised when Norman Lear let them write her out of the show, and it could have evolved with the times and become a different show entirely, perhaps lasting another 8 seasons, but it was the producers who screwed up, not her.
She had a very tragic upbringing. Being adopted and then being a Hollywood child actor is terrible. She needed major help with a addiction and complex stress trauma. She essentially needed medical and psychiatric help. This is so sad it seems that suicide was in the family. These cases seem way too prevalent these days.
In her last interview, in 1999, she said that she hated the term "child actress". "I am just an actor," she said. She was never forced into acting as a child; she did it voluntarily, and she enjoyed it. If anything, she was upset and depressed during the 80s for being REJECTED by Hollywood. So, like an adult, in 1999, she took responsibility for everything "tragic" that ever happened in her life.
Her adopted mother was obsessed with making her a star. If that hadn't happened things may have turned out better. There's so much pressure being a child star, I read that they all did cocaine, drank, and did marijuana to cope with the long days and pressure.
I was saddened when she passed away. She was a part of the show Different Strokes that was taking away from us. You’re in a better place now where you don’t have to go through pains and worries . R.I.P. Dana Plato.
I looked up her Las Vegas histaory because I just moved to Vegas last year. Turns out she lived only about a block from where I live now. Wish I could have met her, she was such a beautiful actress. So sad how it all ended.
She needed a hug and real love. She was adopted and she appeared lost after her mother died. I don’t know if she had other family to offer her support. I never made fun of her like others did. I’m glad she’s at peace.
Ladies and Gentlemen, so here we have a troubled woman fighting drug addiction who needs your help, AND THE BRADY BUNCH! AMERICA'S FAVORITE FAMILY EVERRRR!!!TOGETHER AGAIN AFTER 20 YEARS!!! Priorities...priorities...
She doesn't need help this is a come on the woman was on drugs and she's going to stay on drugs and last but not least she was out of the money and that's one of the reasons why she got paid for this second portion of the Maury show and later in time she'll robbed a video store then she'll be on the Howard Stern Show where she will commit suicide later on Hollywood likes pretty things young kids pretty women that's what makes the money when you really look at it she could have done p*** she's just a pretty young nice looking girl
This idiot just wanted to exploit her like everybody else in the entertainment industry, he kept poking her wounds instead of letting her talk and get help that she needed
For sometime, his show was actually pretty mild compared to other talk shows, Eventually he gave in to peer pressure so to speak and the show became complete trash.
Zach Horan ... good times!! and seems like forever ago ... I don't know why the producers of this show decided to turn to mostly "who's the baby's Daddy" shows. It can be "proved" discreetly and respectably for the sake of the child (rather than publicly and dramatically) through a local attorney's office.
I don’t know why Dana couldn’t get the help she needed. She was such a beautiful woman . R.I.P. Dana . We love you . I would’ve had such a major league crush on her if I was in my teens in the 80’s
She's so beautiful. I just wished that she really got the help that she needed hard to watch this video now knowing that in 7 years later she would be dead and now her son Tyler's suicide at 25 years old he just couldn't go on without his mother. So definitely heartbreaking all away around. RIP Dana And Tyler You Both Will Never Be Forgotten .😭
Dang if I was old enough back then I’ve would everything in power to help her even marry her RIP beautiful snow bunny may her soul be in gods kingdom 🙏😢
She is so beautiful, such an angelic face. But full of pain, of traumas where she ended up using her addiction to escape them💔 If she had received the psychology she needed and if Hollywood had given her the chance she wanted so much, everything would have been different, she didn't deserve everything she went through. So many actors had drug problems even worse than hers and never had Hollywood's doors closed, Dana was discarded because, trying to escape loneliness and her traumas, she decided to become a mother
I wondered in todays day and age had Dana been fired for bein' pregrant, would she'd been able to sue or I wonder if laws have changed regarding that...I'm sure they have! Rip Dana and your young son..tragic.😥💐💐☪

Lead actress in the video game that caused video games to begin receiving "Parental Ratings" like movies. The video game was called "Night Trap" 1992 (Digital Pictures). Ironically, she was not the reason for the ratings on them, but instead one particular scene with another actress in a bathroom scene was shown wearing "sleepwear".
She was abandoned when she was born, she was adopted and then her adoptive father abandoned her, her adoptive mother loved her but discovered a serious illness when she was very young and therefore could not give her the attention she needed. Dana grew up alone, with trauma, sadness, and ended up experiencing addiction. When she went into different moves, he kind of filled part of the void she had, but at the same time she had to deal with variations in pressure, and never had the support she needed, in the 6th season she recorded it, because she believed that with this son I never felt alone again, as a result she was fired from the series, after that she got married, the baby was born, she was happy for a while but the addiction continued, only worse because the work filled a void she had, when she tried to resume In her career, I found Hollywood behind closed doors for her, they simply turned their backs on her after a pregnancy, she lost control of her addiction, soon her marriage ended, her mother who had been facing an illness for years died, without anyone to guide her, she signed contract with the accountant and he stole what she had, and in that she found herself alone, without money and without work, a perfect scenario for a person full of traumas who ended up getting involved with drinking and drugs. She wanted to resume her career, but the industry simply closed its doors to her after her pregnancy, she decided to go to Playboy believing that it could help her get opportunities, which was the opposite, and that was her life, a struggle. In search of opportunities, for life and against addiction, he had to work in a laundry and in various places to support himself, he ended up getting into trouble with the law, which at the time everyone understood as a desperate cry for help. She just wanted an opportunity to act, a chance in Hollywood, the place where she grew up, but she turned away when she needed it most and became a laughing stock. There are several cases of Hollywood artists who have problems with drinking, drugs, but They didn't have Hollywood's doors closed, on the contrary, even though they got into serious problems with scheduled recordings, Dana lost everything after her pregnancy and was left with no rumors. She also never received the psychological help I needed, she wasn't just addicted, there were many traumas from the past that led her to addiction.
She really didn't have much of a support network, at least not a very reliable one. Everyone of us needs that, and could easily fall through the cracks without it.
In the world I lost my girl to herion I never knew I was so excited to see you her now I'm trying to figure out why my heart beats inside of me she was my reason now I'm trying to figure out why my heart beats inside who ended her life
Maury's neatly-coiffed sun-tanned good looks and slick persona meets deer-in-the-headlights Dana. Child-star going down in flames! Tonight! Get some popcorn and enjoy the show!
Rehab only works when a person sees it as an option to get out of the the pain. We as an society look at our own situation and apply it for everyone. Just like someone who can dunk a basketball. Not everyone can. It is only proof that the one shoe fits all approach does not work. She was in pain and felt abandoned never finding the relief from the pain. I only know because I know that feeling. Just look at Robin Williams. Financial wise he was OK. Money is not relevant when the pain never stops.
Ugh, if only we had a "control" to help her exactly like we did in Night Trap game. So, she would be with us and then, her son would spend with his mother 😭 I'm sorry, Miss Plato. Really sorry.. 💔
I feel sorry for the adoptive mother because she was the one that rised her. I would never be an adoptive mother because you end up with no recognition at all.
dana was such a beautiful and talented woman, this is so tragic, rest in peace.
i can't believe how tragic her life's been and i wouldn't easily just say that, but damn even since birth she had so much to deal with.
veery tragic indeed
She was a bum and she ruined it all by meeting the wrong kind of people so good riddance to bad rubbish
no I woldnt say good riddance she was such a beautiful soul
What u talking about willes no just kidding she was very beautiful
Life is so cruel at times, she was so lost at times. RIP beautiful Dana

When was this
What are the lyrics?
Gosh I could picture this. She’s smoking a cigarette contemplating, wanting to get away, wanting a simple pleasure. God bless you for being a good human and giving her some of your time. 🙏🏼✨🕊️
I feel so sorry. This is such a real tragic loss for the television industry. This did not have to happen. Rest in peace, Dana.

They Did. I Don't Think A Paid Her For What She Was Worth From ( Different Strokes ).

Before the show got to be about DNA tests.
He needs to do more shows like this.
his show was way better quality back then, but I guess the babymamam/babydaddy drama gets more ratings.
@@orchidtreasure1484 True ✅
She was crying for help and they laughed at her. 🌸
People are all your friends when your on top, when your down no one is around. I sincerely think she died of a broken heart. RIP Dana
I mean a happy person doesn’t commit suicide. I understand how it feels to have suicidal thoughts.
She didn't commit suicide. An accidental overdose.
She had a hard life. I wish things had been different for her. 😔
So sad may she RIP such a beautiful talented sweet actress 🙏🙏💗💗

She was the most prettiest young female of all time no doubt. I would have loved to marry her!
I can't imagine Maury NOT doing lie detector and DNA tests.. *mind blown*
This idiot just wanted to exploit her like everybody else in the entertainment industry, he kept poking her wounds instead of letting her talk and get help that she needed
For sometime, his show was actually pretty mild compared to other talk shows, Eventually he gave in to peer pressure so to speak and the show became complete trash.
Dana was the Lindsay Lohan of her time. Eerie and tragic. 😢
@Chris A. kinda rude, since Dana was bullied to death
dana was a sweetheart, Lindsay is a bitch
Lindsay been the subject of jokes too for years but I think Dana had it much worse. 😔 What a tragedy.
I know they don't look alike but something about her reminds me of Melissa Gilbert
Obie drier I’ve always thought that. Even how they talk sounded similar
Exactly. Look and sound very similar
They actually do look somewhat alike.
Maury's first season of his talk show, and no saying anyone's the father :)
LOL!!!!
Yeah back in the day Maury wasn't as crappy.
Crashbanksbuysilver Same with Springer
He still had ronchy stuff but not as bad.
Zach Horan ... good times!! and seems like forever ago ...
I don't know why the producers of this show decided to turn to mostly "who's the baby's Daddy" shows. It can be "proved" discreetly and respectably for the sake of the child (rather than publicly and dramatically) through a local attorney's office.
Dana Plato also appeared in Night Trap (the 25th anniversary edition for PlayStation 4) which is rated T for Teen by the ESRB
Rated 'teen'? How did they come up with that rating?!?
so tragic, both mother and son pass away
Shocking thing is she was my twin in the 80s,and her son was my 15 year old double 😢😭
she was beatifull !!!!! so sad
Oh boo hoo. She made poor choices
She also was a felon
Nossa, me da uma tristeza a vida dela ter acabado do jeito que foi. Linda ela.
I watched different strokes just to see her
So sad she was so beautiful and seemed so nice..RIP DANA
She was beautiful RIP
Dana pudistes haber sido una gran actriz y haber sido exitosa..murio joven..que triste...deseo que seas feliz en el mas alla.
I don’t know why Dana couldn’t get the help she needed. She was such a beautiful woman . R.I.P. Dana . We love you . I would’ve had such a major league crush on her if I was in my teens in the 80’s

She is so beautiful, such an angelic face.

She was abandoned when she was born, she was adopted and then her adoptive father abandoned her, her adoptive mother loved her but discovered a serious illness when she was very young and therefore could not give her the attention she needed. Dana grew up alone, with trauma, sadness, and ended up experiencing addiction. When she went into different moves, he kind of filled part of the void she had, but at the same time she had to deal with variations in pressure, and never had the support she needed, in the 6th season she recorded it, because she believed that with this son I never felt alone again, as a result she was fired from the series, after that she got married, the baby was born, she was happy for a while but the addiction continued, only worse because the work filled a void she had, when she tried to resume In her career, I found Hollywood behind closed doors for her, they simply turned their backs on her after a pregnancy, she lost control of her addiction, soon her marriage ended, her mother who had been facing an illness for years died, without anyone to guide her, she signed contract with the accountant and he stole what she had, and in that she found herself alone, without money and without work, a perfect scenario for a person full of traumas who ended up getting involved with drinking and drugs. She wanted to resume her career, but the industry simply closed its doors to her after her pregnancy, she decided to go to Playboy believing that it could help her get opportunities, which was the opposite, and that was her life, a struggle. In search of opportunities, for life and against addiction, he had to work in a laundry and in various places to support himself, he ended up getting into trouble with the law, which at the time everyone understood as a desperate cry for help. She just wanted an opportunity to act, a chance in Hollywood, the place where she grew up, but she turned away when she needed it most and became a laughing stock. There are several cases of Hollywood artists who have problems with drinking, drugs, but They didn't have Hollywood's doors closed, on the contrary, even though they got into serious problems with scheduled recordings, Dana lost everything after her pregnancy and was left with no rumors. She also never received the psychological help I needed, she wasn't just addicted, there were many traumas from the past that led her to addiction.
I miss you Dana Plato
She could have been Elizabeth Shoe ?
That all - American beauty - look !
When she was young she seemed so wholesome .
QUE HERMOSA MUJER NADIE SUPO CUIDARLA
She really didn't have much of a support network, at least not a very reliable one. Everyone of us needs that, and could easily fall through the cracks without it.
I'm still so sad that she's gone 😭
In the world I lost my girl to herion I never knew I was so excited to see you her now I'm trying to figure out why my heart beats inside of me she was my reason now I'm trying to figure out why my heart beats inside who ended her life
Dana was sooo damn fine..so sad what happened to her
She passed same day Oklahoma/Kansas E5 tornado May 8, 1999
Maury's neatly-coiffed sun-tanned good looks and slick persona meets deer-in-the-headlights Dana. Child-star going down in flames! Tonight! Get some popcorn and enjoy the show!
I just can't think she is no more. She was given a second chance by the judge but she was not given a second chance by the life she lived.
Ela era tão linda
What type of rehab facility allows the patients to do tv interviews? This seems counterproductive.
Rehab only works when a person sees it as an option to get out of the the pain.
We as an society look at our own situation and apply it for everyone.
Just like someone who can dunk a basketball. Not everyone can.
It is only proof that the one shoe fits all approach does not work.
She was in pain and felt abandoned never finding the relief from the pain. I only know because I know that feeling.
Just look at Robin Williams. Financial wise he was OK. Money is not relevant when the pain never stops.
back when CBS was worth watching and rip Dana Plato
She had to go to prison, it would save her... Todd once said it too
Or perhaps rehabilitation???
Ugh, if only we had a "control" to help her exactly like we did in Night Trap game. So, she would be with us and then, her son would spend with his mother 😭 I'm sorry, Miss Plato. Really sorry.. 💔
Where's the Brady Bunch interview?
The full version of this episode including that is on youtube.
I feel sorry for the adoptive mother because she was the one that rised her. I would never be an adoptive mother because you end up with no recognition at all.
Rest in Peace Dana
R.I.P. 🪦 Dana Plato
1. Dana was my twin
2. This is when Maury was good. No stupid paternity test crap😒
Unfortunately, the judge made a big mistake by freeing her.
That decision led Dana Plato's life to further spiral out of control to her death.
I can't believe that Dana lost everything from a Different Strokes you mean she didn't even have no money at all? Dana must have had some money.
In her later Howard Stern interview, the day before she died, she said she had 120k put aside.
She was so hot lol, I mean to me as a kid I had a few tv crushes, Alyssa Milano and Dana and Justine Bateman
