Anne Heche Helped Me Understand My Own Bisexuality
I vividly remember the day when, as a production assistant in the writers room of the ABC showin 2007, I was finally tasked with the job I had been coveting: delivering a script to the home of the show’s star, Anne Heche. The house where she lived with her first husband was on a shady, serene Hancock Park block. When I got there, no one answered the door and I left the script on the doorstep as I had been told to do.
I’m beautiful, men want me, I’m at the top of my game, I think it’s time for me to go date a total dyke. And no, I won’t be apologizing. She had survived so much, and achieved so much, with so little support, and still had the guts to take the kinds of risks she did in her work and her very public private life.
In a spirit of both irony and devotion, my co-PA and I decided that we would listen to Anne Heche’s memoir,, on audiobook during the long hours when we were putting scripts together. I think we expected camp, but what we found was a real writer. Her story of years of rape at the hands of her abusive, closeted, religious father was bizarre, baroque, and heartbreaking—and her clear-eyed, honest look at him and her own childhood was revelatory.
