Authorities said her behavior was the result of an overdose.
In many ways, Heche never recovered from the career blow she suffered when she went public with her relationship with DeGeneres.“Anne, are you crazy?” is how ABC News anchor Barbara Walters opened her 2001 interview with Heche about her memoir.Here she was a year later, selling a memoir that was as much a reassurance to potential employers as a confessional autobiography.
“No, I’m not crazy,” Heche said.“I had another personality,” Heche said.“Knowing that my mother’s only purpose was to love Jesus made me understand that unless I was Jesus, I wouldn’t receive her love,” she wrote in Call Me Crazy.
Heche’s father, Donald, gave up being a pastor to get into the oil-and-gas business, though Heche said many decades later that she saw no evidence her father actually held a job in that industry.
Heche said that her father raped her regularly from infancy through age 12.
Three years later, after the release of her memoir, Heche did a seven-episode arc on Ally McBeal as a woman accused of killing her ex-boyfriend by running him over with her car.Tragedy once again struck the Heche family in 2006, however, when her sister Susan, from whom she was estranged, died of brain cancer.It’s not hard to picture a middle-aged Heche clicking in one or two zeitgeist parts and easing into a succession of bigger-than-life scene-stealers that would carry her through the autumn of a long career — a feat that firebrand actresses like Jessica Lange and Shirley MacLaine have achieved.
