While Gary Coleman's ex-wife and ex-girlfriend continue to battle over his estate, the former child actor was cremated yesterday, as requested in his will. No funeral or memorial service will be held.
"The proceeding was conducted in accordance with Coleman's desires as expressed in his will," said court-appointed attorney Robert Jeffs. Coleman's remains had been sitting at a Salt Lake City mortuary for three weeks due to the legal wrangling.
One of Coleman's earlier wills had specified that he wanted to be remembered in a wake conducted by people to whom he had no financial ties and who could "look each other in the eyes and say they really cared personally for [him]."
Coleman's ashes and possessions have been locked away while a judge figures out who should be the executor of his estate.
Coleman's ex-wife, Shannon Price, and ex-girlfriend and business partner Anna Gray have competing wills and documents attesting to their right to be the executor of the estate.
Gray has a 2005 will that names her as sole heir, while Price has a 2007 document, signed by Coleman, that leaves his estate to her. A judge will have to determine the validity of each document. Coleman's death highlights the importance of having your affairs in order.
No matter who ends up with Coleman's stuff, it's sad that he felt as if no one cared enough to hold a genuine memorial service upon his death. Coleman seemed to have a chip on his shoulder ever since he accused his parents of stealing his money.
Gray, Coleman's 'Diff'rent Strokes' co-star Todd Bridges andColeman's former business manage Victor Perillo, have all said that they plan to organize memorials for the actor.
I hope that these are truly memorials designed to remember Coleman and not showbiz spectacles that will be open to the media or designed to spark interest in a reality show.
But, when it comes to Hollywood, nothing would surprise me.
