*A third will has surfaced in the wake of Gary Coleman’s death that names a new woman, Anna Gray, as executor and sole beneficiary of his estate, reports “Entertainment Tonight.”
Coleman’s agent, Robert Malcom, tells ET Gray became close friends with the actor after meeting him in 1997. She even stayed in Coleman’s home for several months (in a separate bedroom) before being named the CEO of Coleman’s corporation.
Once the actor met his future wife Shannon Price, they relocated to Utah in 2005.
“When Shannon moved in, the relationship got difficult because Shannon didn’t like the fact that there was somebody else in his life,” Malcom tells ET. “Of course, he sided with [Shannon], and Anna was asked to leave.”
In the 23 page document, Coleman states that he wishes “to be cremated and that there be no funeral service, wake, or other ceremony memorializing my passing.”
In the event that Gray would not survive him, Coleman left his Lionel train collection to three different train shops in California.
On Tuesday, Price told ET that she planned to scatter Coleman’s ashes around some train tracks. “I think he would really appreciate that I did that for him,” she said.
Just who is this mystery woman? What type of relationhsip did she and Gary really have? I hope she is/was not using Gary to get what money/pensions he had. Yo notice the articel stresed that hse stayed in seperate bedrooms, Hmmmmm things are about to get interseting. I think Shannon and this Anna woamn are about to battle for Gary’s estate.
corredction- You noticed the article.
Well, at least one thing we can safely say, is that Gary was smitten by yt women:

So now we have a three way fight over Gary’s legacy.
Coleman’s co-star Todd Bridges told RadarOnline.com exclusively that Gary has a pension that could be in the millions. That is what everyone is fighting for.
Thanks for posting this, Reds. I have seen that photo before. I was WONDERING who she was. Funny, but they make a much better looking couple than Gary and Shannon.
As for Gary being “smitten by yt women,” Gary was just being a typical Southern California African-American male in the entertainment business. I once lived there and worked as a television extra, and I can tell you that this IS the way it is there.
Regarding that pension, Shannon is the beneficiary. It would’ve paid Gary over $200K/year starting at age 55. He may have forgotten that he listed her as beneficiary. Such a shame. I really hate to see her walk away with that because she is SUCH a bitch!!!!
Todd is talking wayyy too much about Gary’s personal business for my taste. It makes me wonder just exactly what he is trying to get out of all of this mess. I am not hatin but, i will probably get a few thumbs down anyway.
Todd just put out the book, “Killing Willis.” Of COURSE, he sees skyrocketing sales behind all of this.
They did an episode about this on ET last week. Shannon is a straight up shark and dangerous to boot. You should hear the message she left for Gary’s parents telling them “thank you for your interest in Gary. Please contact my brother for arrangements etc etc” after they tried contacting her. Now Todd wants nothing to do with Shannon saying she texted some real nasty things to him. This woman is not all sugar and spice for sho. I believe Gary changed his will unbeknownst to her once he saw what she was and realized he dissed the wrong person. Gary thought nothing of burning bridges to folks who were kind to him it seems.
I remember Willie Coleman talking about that message on “The Today Show.” Just horrible.
I’d love to know what she texted Todd.
Todd needs some of the spotlight too. We were hammered all through the years about Gary Coleman being broke so who cares. Everybody if fighting to get what? A house that was probably in foreclosure. Let the man rest in peace.
