February 8, 1968 – On this day, Gary Coleman was born and world was graced.
Gary Coleman was an American actor, comedian, and writer. In 1974, Coleman's career began when he appeared in a commercial for Harris Bank. His line after the announcer said, "You should have a Harris banker." was "You should have a Hubert doll." "Hubert" was a stuffed lion representing the Harris bank logo. The same year, he appeared in an episode of Medical Center.
While best known for his role as Arnold Jackson in Diff'rent Strokes from1978 to 1986, Coleman had appeared earlier on television, on The Jeffersons as Raymond, George Jefferson's nephew, and on Good Times as Penny's friend Gary. He also appeared in a 1977 pilot for a revival of The Little Rascals as Stymie. VH1 rated Coleman first on a list of "100 Greatest Child Stars" on television.
In celebration of the birthday of Gary Coleman, Amazing Grace is metamorphosed into Arnold Jackson.
