Executive summary: Marin Frist on Men in Trees Actress Anne Heche (pronounced haytch) has a reputation for being a little crazy, fueled by her autobiography, Call Me Crazy. She has said that she was sexually abused by her father until she was 12 years old, and that the experience drove her insane and gave her genital herpes. By her mid-20s, Heche says she had two personalities, herself and "Celestia", an alien from another planet who could talk to dead people, see into the future, and was a half-sister of Jesus Christ.
Heche's mother, a successful psychotherapist, says that during her 25-year-marriage to Heche’s father she never suspected that he was molesting their daughter -- and she still does not believe it. She also never suspected that her husband, a Baptist minister, was sleeping with other men, until he revealed his gay escapades to his family shortly before dying of AIDS in 1983. Heche's mother now encourages homosexuals to "convert" to straightness, and claims that her prayers led her daughter Anne to become straight again after her long affair with comedian Ellen DeGeneres. Heche's sister, Susan Bergman, was the author of Anonymity, a book about her father's long-closeted life and the impact his revelation and death on their family.
Heche has never claimed to be lesbian, and says that with the exception of DeGeneres, all her romantic entanglements have been with men, including rocker Lindsey Buckingham, actor Steve Martin, and Desperate Housewives hunk Richard Burgi. Heche shuns any labels to describe her sexuality. "You fall in love with a person," she has said, "not a sex." She married Coleman 'Coley' Laffoon, a cameraman she met while making a comedy special with DeGeneres, and later divorced him, claiming in her divorce filing that she could "no longer ignore an escalating pattern in Coley's behavior, including a particular preoccupation with sexually graphic material and masturbation."
In 2000, Heche was found wandering in a rural area outside Fresno. Reportedly wearing only a bra and shorts, she rang a stranger's doorbell, inquired about a gateway to outer space, and asked if she could use their shower. In 2008, just weeks after her series Men in Trees was cancelled, she claimed to have no money to pay child support for her six-year-old son. Father: Donald Heche (Baptist minister, d. 1983 AIDS)
