Five years ago, the question most asked about Anne Heche was Anne Who?
Graduating from college-years TV series Another World, she starred
opposite (and subsequently dated) Steve Martin (A Simple Twist of
Fate), first in a long line of brittle blondes. Balancing arthouse
(Psycho) with mainstream (Volcano), many would say her smartest move
was making Ellen de Generes TV’s First Lesbian. Making her directorial
debut with If These Walls Could Talk 2, she has won GLAAD awards for
services to the gay community, and – on the strength of Wild Side – the
Oscars may not be beyond her grasp.
