Anne Heche
American actress (1969-2022) · United States · On the map · Actors · Died at 53
She spent a decade building a steady name in studio films and network TV - then her personal life became the story. The relationship with Ellen DeGeneres, the psychotic break that followed, the memoir alleging abuse: the tabloid glare never quite lifted, and it ended in a car crash in 2022.

About this person
Heche came up through daytime soap, winning an Emmy for playing twins on Another World in the late 1980s. By 1997 she was working steadily in Hollywood - Donnie Brasco, Volcano, I Know What You Did Last Summer - and the next year she led Six Days, Seven Nights and a Psycho remake. She directed for HBO, earned a Tony nomination for the 2004 Broadway revival of Twentieth Century, and kept a run of supporting roles going through the 2010s. But the split from DeGeneres in 2000 triggered a public breakdown, and in 2001 she published Call Me Crazy, detailing sexual abuse by her father. She worked another two decades - Everwood, Men in Trees, a stint on Dancing with the Stars - before the August 2022 car crash in Los Angeles. She died six days later at 53.
