Anne Heche first came to public attention in the early 1990s for her roles as twins on the soap opera Another World and in film roles like her portrayal of Laura in Nicole Holofcener’s first feature film, Walking and Talking.
Her breakout role was in the gangster film Donnie Brasco, opposite Johnny Depp (1997). She starred in the political satire Wag the Dog, the disaster film Volcano, and the slasher classic I Know What You Did Last Summer all in the same year.
Later that year, Heche began dating fellow celebrity and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, who had just recently come out as gay.
After three years together, Heche expressed her appreciation to Harrison Ford for continuing filming the romantic comedy Six Days, Seven Nights despite the backlash Heche received for her real-life relationship with her partner.
