ANNE HECHE (on an Iconic Career and Life Well Lived) - A Tribute Interview

I had the pleasure of interviewing Anne Heche earlier this year. I, and everyone at the Behind The Velvet Rope Podcast, are deeply saddened to hear of her passing last week. Besides a career in Hollywood that most could only dream of, having started in some of the most iconic TV and Film of all time, she was an actress whose craft had been perfected to the nth degree. During this interview, she was so gracious with her time. She was kind, open, honest, forthright, a bright light and so very full of life. A trailblazer. I hope that by listening to this chat, you are able to get a glimpse into what a remarkable woman she was. Having spoken to her for just this hour, I sure did. We release this episode today as a tribute to the life of Anne Heche. Anne Heche steps Behind The Rope. Actress of Film, TV, Stage. Best Selling Author. Activist. Trailblazer. Director. Icon In The Flesh. Now Podcast Host. The ONE. The ONLY. Miss Anne Heche!! Anne is here to cover it all and have one of the most open, honest, raw conversations The Rope has ever had! Anne chats about her Iconic Career from its beginnings on Another World to starting in more movies and TV shows than we could ever list - Donnie Brasco, Six Days, Seven Nights, Ally McBeal, Nip/Tuck, Wag the Dog, to name a few. Anne chats about her favorite roles, the ones she wants to forget, her favorite co-stars, who she would still love to work with, and why this brilliant accomplished actress still has to audition for parts. Anne opens up about what it was like to be the original one Cancelled before Cancel Culture was a thing as a result of her bringing Ellen DeGeneres to a movie premiere as her date and Ellen’s coming out of “Yup, I’m Gay” at a time when the world wasn’t 2022. Anne talks about those ten long years when no one in Hollywood would cast her, her public fallout with Ellen, what it’s like being “tied” to Ellen in the public eye all these years later, how The Ellen Show complicated her search for work even further and what she thinks, in a full circle moment, about Ellen’s now Cancellation after being deemed The Queen of Mean. Anne talks about her star turn on Dancing With The Stars, her love of Reality TV - her Best of List is music to our ears - and whether and why she would ever join or not join The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!! Of course, we chat with Anne about her book “Call Me Crazy”, the biggest misperceptions about her regarding the subject, and whether an open and honest discussion about mental health can be had stigma free in the world we live in today. Anne Heche in a hold nothing back chat like you have never heard her before.  @anneheche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ORA ORGANIC - www.ora.organic (Get 30% Off Your First Subscription When You text ROPE to 64-000) DAME - www.dameproducts.com (Enter Code VELVETROPE For 15% Off Your Order) TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.
