a picture of spalding gray

I hate linking to any article that uses the phrase "angst-ridden," but here's an update, or non-update (downdate?) on Spalding Gray. It also provides more information on his depression and treatment:

Gray - a manic depressive who has twice attempted suicide - had tried jumping off a ferry in September but was stopped by a friend, sources said.

Gray was last heard from around 9 p.m. Saturday, when he called his TriBeCa loft and spoke to 5-year-old son Theo "and said he just wanted to say he loved him," Newman said.

Gray's disappearance has taken his wife by surprise because the worst of his depression seemed to be over, Newman said.

"He was in comparatively good spirits, all the signs were good," she said. "His therapist said he was doing better. He was looking forward to things for the first time in a long time."
