Actor Gary Coleman apparently left a secret 23-page will, executed on February 3, 2005 and filed in Utah on Friday (June 11), which named a mystery woman, Anna Gray, as the sole beneficiary of the “Diff’rent Strokes” star’s estate.
Anna and Gary reportedly met back in 1997 and become really close friends. They lived together “as friends in separate bedrooms” in Gary’s Los Angeles home until his ex-wife Shannon Price tried to destroy their relationship.

Gary trusted Anna more than anything and even asked her to help him with his corporation and named her CEO. That is how Gary introduced Anna when she accompanied him to the 2003 Emmy Awards (photo above).

This whole situation is very sad. The world is a very unfair place if the woman who took advantage of Gary, blew his money in trips to Vegas (her words, not mine!) and basically refused to help him while he was bleeding out on the ground is officially named the sole beneficiary of his estate…
