9-10pm -- BIOGRAPHY(R) - Dana Plato
Chronicles the tragic life of the Diff'rent Strokes star who died of a
drug overdose at 35. Born to an unwed, teenage mother, Plato was put
up for adoption. She appeared in her first TV ad when she was just 7,
and at age 14 she was hired for Diff'rent Strokes. Six years later she
was forced to leave the show when she became pregnant. Plato then
languished in the world of B-movies and even soft core pornography,
all the while struggling with an addiction to prescription drugs and
alcohol. Plato's rise and fall continues to have a haunting effect on
the culture of child celebrity in Hollywood.
