Pint-sized Gary Coleman was one of the comedy discoveries
of the late 1970s. Pudgy cheeks, twinkling eyes, and
flawless timing made him seem like an old pro packed
into the body of a small child. Eight-year-old Arnold
and his 12-year-old brother Willis were two black kids
from Harlem who found themselves quite suddenly in the
lap of luxary. Their dying mother, a housekeeper for
wealthy Phillip Drummond, had extracted from her employer
the promise that he would look after her boys. Drummond
welcomed the two into his Park Avenue apartment as his own.
