Talk:Spalding Gray
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Impossible Vacation is NOT an autobiography, and I have corrected this in the main text. It is a novel, though the main characters are strongly based on Spaulding and his mother and his mother's suicide, as discussed in Monster in a Box

No, he wasn't in Ilsa: Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks, even though some people seem to think he was. This is confirmed in in this review (search for "urban legend").--Wasabe3543 22:09, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I'm very curious just how autobiographical Impossible Vacation is, but the article here doesn't give me enough about his life. The few facts given match: childhood in Rhode Island to Christian Science parents, small porn film history, driven to monologues by not being satisfied as an actor, etc. I wish Monster in a Box was available on DVD so I could see what he himself says about it, but it is only on VHS. --User:Eli the Bearded
