Dana Plato The C-Word
-
- Society & Culture
Dana Plato was a beloved child star in the 80s sitcom Diff’rent Strokes. But her good girl on-screen persona was spoiled by rumors that she was partaking in the bad behavior trifecta: sex, drugs, and alcohol. The public was quick to forget about her after she was written off the show...until years later, when she made headlines for robbing a video store. Lena and Alissa discuss child stars, motherhood and addiction, and talk about how their approach to the podcast has changed throughout its run.
