Anne Heche, the versatile yet troubled performer who appeared in TV shows including “Another World” and “Men in Trees” and in films such as “Donnie Brasco,” “Psycho” and “Wag the Dog,” was taken off of life support on Sunday after being involved in a car crash in Los Angeles on Aug. 5, her rep confirmed. She was 53.
Heche crashed after speeding through the Mar Vista neighborhood of West Los Angeles, where she first hit a garage and then continued until colliding with a house, where her car caught fire. She was severely burned before being pulled from the car.
Heche was declared legally dead in the state of California on Friday, but she remained on life support until she was determined as a match for organ donation.

Anne Heche, who starred in such films as Donnie Brasco, Volcano and Wag the Dog and on TV shows including Men in Trees and Hung during a troubled life and career, was taken off life support Sunday night, her rep announced.
Heche, 53, had spent several days in a coma at the Grossman Burn Center at West Hills (California) Hospital and Medical Center after her Mini Cooper ran off the road Aug. 5 and smashed into a two-story home in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles, causing “structural compromise and erupting in heavy fire,” the L.A.

US actress Anne Heche is dead but will remain on life support to allow for a possible organ donation, her representative has said. The 53-year-old had been in a coma for a week after crashing her car into a house in Los Angeles, reports the BBC.
“Today we lost a bright light, a kind and most joyful soul,” her family said in a statement on Friday.
Heche appeared in films including ‘Volcano’, ‘Donnie Brasco’ and the 1998 remake of ‘Psycho’.
The mother-of-two also appeared on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ in 2020.
According to the Los Angeles Fire Department (Lafd), Heche’s vehicle “erupted in heavy fire”, which took 59 firefighters more than an hour to fully extinguish. The two-storey home she crashed into was left “uninhabitable”.
As well as suffering burns, the actress was left with “a severe anoxic brain injury”, when the brain is deprived of oxygen, the BBC quoted her family as saying.

Today we are celebrating the legacy of Anne Heche, a brilliant performer who was never given the acclaim she so rightfully deserved, but with a tragically complicated life off-screen that was lost too soon. For over 30 years, Heche captivated audiences across a multitude of genres in both film and television, taking any role, regardless of size, and delivering it with the prowess of a leading player. As I mentioned in her obituary, Heche performed "with a fearless vulnerability that could not be taught; it just existed within her, seemingly forged in the fire of surviving her difficult life." The loss of Anne Heche is devastating, not only because of the unfortunate circumstances that will unfortunately be forever associated with her passing, but because it denied her the chance to do what her memoir tells us she always strived to do, which is to "heal her life." As we mourn this complex figure,...

After making her screen debut in “Another World,” Anne Heche has been a Hollywood icon for over 30 years.
The late actress died August 12 at age 53 after succumbing to critical injuries sustained from a car accident in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles a week prior. From roles in “I Know What You Did Last Summer” and “Wag the Dog” to ill-fated Hitchcock heroine Marion Crane in the “Psycho” remake and leading series “Nip/Tuck,” “Everwood,” “Hung,” and “Men in Trees,” Heche’s career spanned every genre imaginable.
Heche earned a Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie in 2004 for “Gracie’s Choice,” and wrote and directed the 2001 made-for-tv movie “Reaching Normal.” She later served as co-creator and executive producer of NBC sitcom “Bad Judge,” which ran for one season.

A statement released late Thursday gave the grim and upsetting news that Anne Heche is not expected to survive the injuries she sustained from an auto accident last week. The 53-year-old actress is currently in a coma at a burn center in West Hills Hospital, near Los Angeles.
“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,” the statement read. “It has long been her choice to donate her organs and she is being kept on life support to determine if any are viable.”
On August 5, Heche crashed her blue Mini Cooper, which had been traveling at what authorities called “a high rate of speed” in the residential Mar Vista area of Los Angeles. She then crashed into a home, igniting a fire that took firefighters roughly one hour to extinguish. A...

Negative Buzzwords: Bland, romcoms, short shelf life
The Case: Until I started writing this column, it looked as though I'd embarked upon a cut-and-dried case of "this chick is so over." That is, Kristen Bell's been riding the forgettable rom-com train for years after coasting for quite some time upon the goodwill generated by three seasons of "Veronica Mars." And although Bell herself has been pushing for (and has even offered to self-finance) a big-screen version of the semi-beloved cult television show, there's an exceedingly small likelihood that -- even if the film eventually happens -- the result would actually be a box-office smash.

Anne Heche is set to star in the WB Network's comedy pilot True. Getting Heche on board lifts the contingency off the Warner Bros. TV project, which originally was picked up on a cast-contingent basis. True, written and exec produced by Kari Lizer, revolves around a young woman (Heche) whose boyfriend breaks up with her while she is in labor with their baby, and she has to move back in with her parents. While the man doesn't leave her life completely, the ordeal is a wake-up call for the new mother, who has been procrastinating her entire life, staying in school for as long as possible to delay stepping into the real world. Heche's casting in True extends the actress' relationship with the WB. This season, she recurs on the network's drama Everwood. Last year, she was nominated for an Emmy for her portrayal of a drug-addicted mother in the Lifetime original movie Gracie's Choice, and for a Tony for her role in Twentieth Century. Heche is repped by CAA and Untitled Entertainment.
