Pulling the Plug on Anne Heche: 5/25/69-8/12/2022 Strange Life

Forums:

 Anne Heche suffered a severe brain injury in her car crash last week and is not expected to survive, a representative for the actress' family said Thursday.  Heche is being kept alive in a coma on life support as organ donation is being considered as an option, her spokesperson said.

The statement issued on behalf of Heche's family and friends read:  "We want to thank everyone for their kind wishes and prayers for Anne's recovery and thank the dedicated staff and wonderful nurses that cared for Anne at the Grossman Burn Center at West Hills hospital. Unfortunately, due to her accident, Anne Heche suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and remains in a coma, in critical condition. She is not expected to survive.

It has long been her choice to donate her organs and she is being kept on life support to determine if any are viable.  Anne Heche had cocaine in her blood at time of car crash

Mental health issues......

On August 19, 2000, Heche drove from Los Angeles to Cantua Creek in a Toyota SUV. Heche, who was wearing a bra and shorts at the time, parked the car and walked 1+1⁄2 miles before reaching a ranch house. The house owner, who had seen Heche in a movie, recognized her and let her in.  The owner assumed that Heche was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, but Heche later revealed that she had taken ecstasy. After taking a shower, Heche entered the living room, asked for a pair of slippers, and suggested that they should watch a movie. After half an hour, the owner contacted the sheriff's department.  Heche later told the deputies that she was "God, and was going to take everyone back to heaven in a spaceship." She was then taken by ambulance to Fresno's University Medical Center and admitted to the psychiatric unit, but was released within a few hours.

Heche stated she was "insane" for the first 31 years of her life, and that this was triggered by being sexually abused by her father during her infancy and childhood. In a series of interviews with Barbara Walters, Matt Lauer, and Larry King to promote Call Me Crazy in 2001, Heche stated on national television that she created a fantasy world called the "Fourth Dimension" to make herself feel safe, and had an alter ego who was the daughter of God and half-sister of Jesus Christ named "Celestia", who had contacts with extraterrestrial life forms.  Heche said she recovered from her mental health concerns following the incident in Cantua Creek and has put her alter ego behind her

God bless her soul!

 

From People on the internet: > In the six days since she crashed her car into a house in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles, the actress never regained consciousness. The fiery crash destroyed a home and left Heche in critical condition and intubated. <

I had read she had 2 recent accidents, one where she drove into the house and the other where she drove into a tree.

I hope her organ donations will happen.

I'm just glad she didn't kill anyone.

It's a sad story and all, but she was driving upwards of 90 miles an hour in a residential neighborhood with people walking dogs and kids playing.

It's hard to have a lot of sympathy.

These type of stories are wearing me out.

I'm reading they pulled the plug. Her life sounds like it was filled with turmoil.

I admit I had to google who this person was

Wag the dog and Donnie Brasco were the only things I've ever seen that she was in

Seems like she had one hell of a run

As a friend once told me. Hide your crazy behind your passion. I hope she gets some rest now. 

That's some very sad info about her childhood.  It's no wonder why she self medicated.   Rip

Wasn't she Ellen Degeneres' girlfriend for awhile? Or am I thinking of someone else?

She was, Mark. She also had 2 or 3 husbands, maybe 3 kids, some boyfriends...

>>>>>Thank God Jerry Garcia had a Chauffeur! 

Ah, he used to drive himself around all the time. He usually took the van to and from the venue for GD shows, but he often drove to Bay area JGB shows.

He crashed into a barrier on 101 one time in Marin Co. in his BMW.

He scared Phil (riding shotgun) nearly to death driving to his own re-hab appointment in 85.

And then there was the incident in Golden Gate Park in 1985 with the BMW, the briefcase, and the bindles.

Hm, don't remember that Narnia book.
