Talk:Spalding Gray

message: If anyone knows more of his personal biography, they might want to put a little information in the article about his sexuality.  He was married at the time of his death, but also had a male long time companion?
* Never heard about a male long time companion.  Don't believe that's true.  In "And Everything Is Going Fine" he describes an experience where he had thought of himself as bisexual. Yet when he finally was with a man, he was very uncomfortable with the situation, and upon realising it, his partner put a stop to it.  And on "Gray's Anatomy" he also describes having an encounter with another man, and how years after that when he started losing his vision in one eye, he assumed it was AIDS and traced it back to that one encounter.  ~~  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdsouza (talk • contribs) 21:47, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

message: I am confused about something and hope the scholars here will determine the correct information. Shortly after Gray's death, the Fryeburg Academy's "Scenes" (alumni magazine) ran an alumnus obit in its summer issue. On his biography here he is listed as graduating Barrington High School, and also as an alumnus of Fryeburg Academy on their page. Could you research this, and provide clarification? Many thanks. 71.178.211.219 (talk) 12:53, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Are you certain that the main photo was taken in 1964? It looks more like a photo of Gray in the mid-1980s. Same hairstyle and everything. Has the image been changed but the captain hasn't? 68.146.81.123 (talk) 15:00, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

message: If y'all want to you could mention his recently published journals.  The review of them in the NY Times is here: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/30/books/review/the-journals-of-spalding-gray-edited-by-nell-casey-book-review.html  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.101.130.73 (talk) 02:35, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Link to Reviews of His Journals / Mention His Jouranals 

message: There is sufficient documentation showing that Spalding Gray appeared in one hardcore pornographic film, The Farmer's Daughters. However, because Gray was a mainstream actor and writer and is best known as such, I think it's highly inappropriate to list Gray as a "pornographic actor" in the lede of this article. It's an indisputable fact that Gray never made a living as a pornographic actor. And for this reason, I removed it from the lede. 
If editors want to make mention of or to explicate Gray's appearance in The Farmer's Daughter (aside from its appearance in his filmography), I think that's fine, but it should be in another section (not the lede), and it should not be given undue weight since it's a fairly insignificant part of his career (despite its sensationalist appeal to some editors). 
Someone also added Gray to the WikiProject for Pornography, and I removed this because I also think this is inappropriate (since, as previously mentioned, Gray didn't make a living in pornography).Jpcohen (talk) 14:12, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

message: This is a writing from Gray's journal.
Journal entry, 18 March 1972: "Very confused about my bisexual feelings... If I crave a relationship with a man, I am not aware of it. I think the problem is more centered on desirous search for the young... youth! Youth! Youth! The golden boys and girls of my fantasy." Journal entry, 29 May 1973: "Then during this period, I went to a homosexual bath club in Amsterdam and was 'picked up' by this German photographer. He was very aggressive, and he made love to me like I was this beautiful woman... I had never experienced such a complete giving over before." Both entries are quoted by Nell Casey, "Spalding Gray’s Tortured Soul", The New York Times, 18 March 1972. Lmharding (talk) 21:34, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
