Anne Heche's family outraged by her book
http://www.advocate.com/new_news.asp?ID=645&sd=09/08/01-09/10/01
The mother and sisters of Anne Heche have responded very negatively to Heche's new book, Call Me Crazy, which alleges that her father sexually abused her for the first 12 years of her life. In an interview on the book-related Web site www.PreviewPort.com, Heche's mother, Nancy Heche, says, "I am trying to find a place for myself in this writing, place where I as Anne's mother do not feel violated or scandalized. I find no place among the blasphemies and of this book." Anne's sister Abigail Heche adds, "It is my opinion that my sister Anne truly believes, at this moment, what she has asserted about our father's past behavior; however, at the same time, I would like to point out that Anne, in the past, has expressed doubts herself about the accuracy of such memories. Based on my experience and her own expressed doubts, I believe that her memories regarding our father are untrue. And I can state emphatically, regardless of Anne's beliefs, that the assertion that our mother knew about such behavior is absolutely false."

Heche talks pregnancy, abuse -- and EcstasyThe newlywed and newly straight actress -- best known as comedian Ellen DeGeneres' former lesbian lover -- told Barbara Walters she's three months pregnant, reports E!Online. ``I'm not crazy,'' Heche told Walters. ``But it's a crazy life. I was raised in a crazy family and it took 31 years to get the crazy out of me.'' She said she feared that her father, Don, who died of AIDS in 1983, might have infected her with the AIDS virus (he had already given her herpes). ``I remember entering the bed with him many times,'' Heche added. ``I went through fighting to get him off me. I went through screaming for my mother. I went through a terror of thinking I was going to die. I went through thoughts of wanting to die.'' Heche also opened up to Walters about her breakdown last August near Fresno, Calif., the day she and Ellen split after three years together. ``I was told to go to a place where I would meet a spaceship,'' Heche said. ``I was told in order to get on the spaceship that I would have to take a hit of Ecstasy. Fresno was the culmination of a journey and a world that I thought I needed to escape to in order to find love.'' But with a man now at her side, Heche said she refused to limit herself by sexuality. ``You fall in love with a person, not a sex,'' she said.
