Anne Heche did not have much luck in her film career. The actress, who died this Friday at the age of 53, after spending a week in a coma after suffering a car accident in Los Angeles, was brave in starring in a film that was doomed to fail at the time, although today it is quite vindicated . It is the shot-by-shot ‘remake’ that Gus van Sant made in 1998 of ‘Psychosis’. In this mannerist recreation of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic, shot according to the technical script of the original film, Heche assumed the role of Janet Leigh, that is, the protagonist who dies half an hour into the footage in the famous shower sequence. In the final stretch of the 90s, she was just as well known for being the sentimental partner of the presenter and actress Ellen DeGeneres, with whom she married. After the breakup in 2000, there were not a few in Hollywood who sided with DeGeneres and turned their backs on Heche. The actress had previously been a partner of Steve Martin and she later had a son in her marriage with Coleman Laffoon and another fruit of her relationship with the Canadian actor James Tupper. But in the cinema, things went completely wrong and after Van Sant’s film she appeared in films of no interest. She started on television in the late 1980s, with the soap opera ‘Another world’. Already in the cinema, 1997 would be a key year when she took part in five films, some of considerable resonance: the ‘thriller’ ‘Donnie Brasco’, in which she played the wife of the undercover police officer played by Johnny Depp; the catastrophe film ‘Volcano’, forming a couple with Tommy Lee Jones; ‘I know what you did last summer’, a ‘slasher’ of notable success; the telefilm of episodes ‘Stories from the subway’, in which she appeared in the story filmed by Ted Demme, and ‘The Smokescreen’, a political fiction comedy written by David Mamet. She had previously taken part in singular productions such as ‘The Wild Side’ (1995), a mysterious ‘thriller’ directed by Donald Cammell, with music by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Christopher Walken and Joan Chen as co-stars: the blonde Heche appeared here with long hair short jet-colored à la Louise Brooks. The downhill In 1998 he made ‘Psycho (Psychosis)’ and shared the leading role with Harrison Ford in the romantic and adventure comedy ‘Six days and seven nights’ and with Vince Vaughn –the Norman Bates of the Van Sant version– and Joaquin Phoenix in ‘Return to Paradise’, focused on the arrest of a young American in Malaysia for drug trafficking. But success was a fleeting mirage and Heche’s career gradually faded, film by film, until it dissolved almost completely. Even so, he appeared in several episodes of the fourth season of a series of great depth as ‘Ally McBeal’, and in main or secondary roles in the films ‘The third miracle’ (1999), ‘Prozac nation’ (2001), ‘ John Q’ (2002) and ‘Birth’ (2004). Since then, a lot of bland TV movies, which have always been the livelihood of those who have not been able to establish themselves in Hollywood, appearances in many series and some interesting movies like ‘Rampart’ (2011), a police expedient written by James Ellroy. Heche had recently shot the horror film ‘Full ride’. She also directed some films for television, such as the documentary ‘Ellen DeGeneres: American summer documentary’ and one of the three episodes of ‘Playing on the edge’, a film with elements of mystery and science fiction and a feminist statement.
