During the 90’s, Anne Heche was an up-and-coming actress. Many believed that the A-list was in her future. Then she started a high-profile relationship with Ellen DeGeneres and I think it’s fair to say that all hell broke loose. The couple became the face of same sex relationships at a time when the nation did not approve of same sex relationships. They were all over the media. Some accused them of shoving their lifestyle down America’s collective throat. The relationship and the media whirlwind that surrounded it eclipsed both of their careers. I know it’s hard to believe it now when DeGeneres is a beloved figure in the entertainment industry, but the backlash nearly took down her career. It certainly limited Heche’s prospects.
So, what the hell happened?
