Before her death last August in a car accident, Anne Heche had finished writing her autobiography.
A job that had allowed him to indulge like never before.
In the book, to be released in January, the star talks about his high-profile relationship with Ellen DeGeneres, which lasted from 1997 to 2000. At the time, few female couples in Hollywood went public with their relationship.
“I was told that I was scandalous because I fell in love with a woman.
I had never been with a woman before dating Ellen.
I did not personally identify as a lesbian.
I simply fell in love!
To be clear, this was as strange to me as it was to anyone else.
There were no words to describe how I felt,” she wrote, in an excerpt shared by her publisher, Start Publishing, in the
Guardian
.
Neither gay nor straight
Anne Heche reveals that although she was a standard bearer for the gay community, she never felt comfortable with this label.
“The term gay didn't suit me, and neither did straight.
Alien might be the description, or so I sometimes thought.
I would have liked to answer the question of why and how I fell in love with a person rather than their gender, if someone had asked me, but as I said before, nobody did. never did.
I am happy to have been able to tell you in this book, once and for all, ”she confides in the book.
The publishing house adds that she will also talk about her relationship with Alec Baldwin, Ivan Reitman, and Oliver Stone, among others.
Anne Heche was 53 when she died.
