some truth and get behind those psychological barriers that haunted her career
and personal life. And discover how she REALLY died. See her as the real,
beautiful person she was. Dana's memory deserves this. And we, her loyal fans,
owe her this.

It would seem her ex-husband would be the only person left that can really shed
some light on her life. Her divorce and mother's death seemed to be the big
turning point. Her TV and commercial career should have earned her about 4
million dollars by the end of Different Strokes (and that would have been in
1970's and 80's dollars). What happen to all those millions? She was working at
a Dry Cleaners within a few years of the show's end and broke. That's
impossible!
