Just three months after her father’s death, her older brother Nathan died in a car crash. The more he couldn't be who he was, the more that came out of him in ways that it did.' My belief was that my father was gay, and he had to cover that up. In an interview with The Advocate magazine in November, 2001, Heche talked about her father: He died of AIDS when she was 13, never acknowledging his sexuality.

In interviews in the early 2000s, and in her memoir, Call Me Crazy, Heche alleged that her father began to rape her when she was very young and continued to do so until she was 12 years old. The family was perpetually struggling financially and bounced around, moving often. Her father was a choir director, and she grew up in the Evangelical faith. But not moving on at the same time, it now appears.Īnne Heche was born May 25, 1969, in the small town of Aurora, OH, the youngest of Nancy and Joseph Heche’s five children. However, she continued working, rebuilding her life and career while moving on. She was a mother, a friend, and a professional.Īt one point, Anne Heche was one of the most famous people in the world, with a thriving and growing career. She fell in love-several times, as people sometimes do. But under that sweet, pretty exterior was a woman who carried an almost unspeakable trauma through her life, trying to live her life as best she could. It’s just incredibly sad to think about her now. What her character was feeling was what she felt. There was a very natural quality to her acting it was simple and straightforward.

She was a genuine star, a real actress, and one who always came across as intensely real. She had a broader range than you might expect because she wasn’t just an ingenue. I always found her to be an incandescent presence in all of her performances. The recent tragic death of actress Anne Heche was a shocking turn of events in a life filled with dramatic highs and lows. How do you explain certain tragedies? The short answer is you don’t-because you can’t.
