A representative of her family told CNN Sunday night: “Anne Heche has been peacefully removed from life support, and later confirmed the actress’s death.
Heche’s car crashed into a Los Angeles home and caught fire on August 5. After the accident, Heche experienced “serious anoxic brain injury,” which deprived her brain of oxygen, among other serious injuries following the accident, her family and friends said in a statement to CNN.
Heche was an award-winning actress who appeared with Harrison Ford in films such as the 1998 “Psycho” remake and the rom-com “Six Days Seven Nights”. He also directed a segment of the 2000 HBO film “If These Walls Could Talk 2” and in his 2001 memoir, he revealed his lifelong struggle with mental illnesses after being abused by his father.
In 1987, Heche made her TV debut with the soap opera “Another World”, a role for which she won a Daytime Emmy. After leaving the show, she began her film career, appearing in acclaimed films including “Donnie Brasco” and “Wag the Dog”.
Still, she said, she considers herself “part of the change” that helped normalize same-sex relationships in mainstream culture.
“I’m part of it,” she told Page Six. “It’s a badge of honor.”
In her 2001 memoir, “Call Me Crazy,” she stated that her father sexually abused her as a child, and that she experienced mental illnesses in the first 30 years of her life. She told CNN’s Larry King in an interview that year that her personality was torn between her and a personality she had invented to adapt to abuse as a child.
She told King, “It took me a lot of life to get to where I am now.” “I had to look at the truth and act in shame, and I’m so grateful for every step I took. I don’t think I could have handled it sooner.”
In 2004, Heche appeared on Broadway in “Twentieth Century”, for which she was nominated for a Tony. In recent years, Heche returned to television, appearing in series such as “The Brave,” “Quantico” and “Chicago PD.” In 2020, she competed in the 29th season of “Dancing with the Stars.”
