Anne Celeste Heche is an American actress. Her film credits
include Six Days Seven Nights, Return to Paradise ,
I Know What You Did Last Summer, John Q and Volcano. She also starred in the
television series Men in Trees,Hung, and most recently Save Me. Anne Heche was
born on May 25, 1969 in Aurora ,
Ohio , the youngest of five
children of Nancy (née Prickett) and Donald Joseph Heche. Heche's family moved
a total of eleven times during her childhood; at one point, they lived in an
Amish community. When asked in a 2001 interview on Larry King Live what her
father's source of income was, Heche replied, "Well, he was a choir
director. But I don't think he made much on that a week. He said that he was
involved in a business of gas and oil. And he said that until the day he died.
But he never was involved in the business of gas and oil ever." The family
settled in Ocean City , New Jersey when Heche was twelve years old.
Due to desperate finances, Anne went to work at a dinner theater in Swainton.
"At the time we’d been kicked out of our house and my family was holed up
living in a bedroom in the home of a generous family from our church," she
said. "I got $100 a week, which was more than anyone else in my family. We
all pooled our money in an envelope in a drawer and saved up enough to move out
after a year." On March 3, 1983, when Heche was thirteen,
her 45-year-old father died of AIDS, although he never came out as a homosexual.
"He was in complete denial until the day he died. We know he got it from
his gay relationships. Absolutely. I don't think it was just one. He was a very
promiscuous man, and we knew his lifestyle then", Heche said on Larry King
Live. Despite her father's homosexuality, Heche has claimed that he repeatedly
raped her from the time she was an infant until she was twelve, giving her
genital herpes. When asked "But why would a gay man rape a girl?", in
a 2001 interview with The Advocate, Heche replied "I don't think he was
just a gay man. I think he was sexually deviant. My belief was that my father
was gay and he had to cover that up. I think he was sexually abusive. The more
he couldn't be who he was, the more that came out of him in ways that it did."
Three months after her father's death,
Heche's 18-year-old brother Nathan was killed in a car crash. The official
determination was that he fell asleep at the wheel and struck a tree, though
Heche claims he committed suicide. The remainder of Heche's family subsequently
relocated to Chicago , where Heche attended the
progressive Francis
W. Parker
School . In 1985, when
Heche was sixteen, an agent spotted her in a school play and secured her an
audition for the daytime soap opera As the World Turns. Heche flew to New York City ,
auditioned, and was offered a job, but her mother insisted she finish high
school first. Shortly before her high school graduation in 1987, Heche was
offered a dual role on the daytime soap opera Another World. "Again I was
told I couldn't go. My mother was very religious and maybe she thought it was a
sinner’s world," Heche stated. "But I got on the phone and said,
'Send me the ticket. I’m getting on the plane.' I was like, 'Bye!' I did my
time with my mom in a one-bedroom, skanky apartment and I was done."
For her work on Another World, Heche received a Daytime Emmy Award in
1991 for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series. In November 1991, Heche
made her primetime television debut in an episode of Murphy Brown. She made her
TV-movie debut the following year with a brief appearance in the Hallmark Hall
of Fame presentation of O Pioneers! (1992). In 1993, Heche made her feature
film debut in Disney's The Adventures of Huck Finn with Elijah Wood. Over the
next two years, she had small supporting roles in made-for-TV movies such as
Girls in Prison (1994) and Kingfish: A Story of Huey P. Long (1995). She also
appeared in the straight-to-video erotic thriller Wild Side (1995) as Joan
Chen's lesbian lover.
In 1996, Heche landed her first
substantial role as a college student contemplating an abortion in a segment of
the made-for-cable anthology film If These Walls Could Talk. That same year,
she appeared in the independent film Walking and Talking, gaining positive
notice from film critic Alison Macor of Austin Chronicle, who wrote in her
review that Heche "is destined for larger film roles". For her
performance as Johnny Depp's wife in the 1997 crime drama Donnie Brasco, critic
Janet Maslin of the New York Times wrote "Anne Heche does well with what
could have been the thankless role." Heche had supporting roles in three
other 1997 releases, playing a seismologist in the disaster film Volcano, a
backwoods loner in the horror hit I Know What You Did Last Summer, and a
presidential advisor in the political satire Wag the Dog (a part that was
originally written for a man)
Heche's first high-profile role came in
the 1998 romantic adventure Six Days Seven Nights, where she starred opposite
Harrison Ford. She had been cast in the film one day before her same-sex
relationship with Ellen DeGeneres went public. Although Heche did land a second
starring role shortly thereafter as Vince Vaughn's love interest in the
acclaimed drama Return to Paradise (1998), the
romance with DeGeneres destroyed her prospects as a leading lady. According to
Heche, "People said 'You're not getting a job because you're gay' ".
She commented: "How could that destroy my career? I still can't wrap my
head around it."[ Six Days Seven Nightsand Return to Paradise have remained the only theatrically released
films in which Heche has had a leading role. She never stopped working, but
quickly fell under the Hollywood radar.
