Didn't she attempt suicide a few years back? How is this not noted somewhere?

Um. Since she has been on Modern Family twice this year I don't think that's possible.

Yeah I had heard that too. I think it's on her wikipedia page.

November 26, 2004

Beautiful actress, model, and comedian Shelley Long attempted suicide on November 16, 2004, by taking an overdose of painkillers.

She was taken to the UCLA Medical Center, where she stayed for a week, and was released on November 23, 2004.

Shelley had been suffering from depression since the breakup of her 23-year marriage to Bruce Tyson.

She is 55.

"She's OK," said Tyson. He also said that he was optimistic about Shelley's future but did not want to discuss the matter any further.

She committed career sucide when she left Cheers.
