Anne Heche was a little too stylish and smart for Hollywood (The Guardian)

A striking presence in films from Psycho to Wag the Dog, her spiky intelligence did not help her in a town that likes its female leads conventional.

A year later, Heche showed us a kind of black-comic genius with her performance as Joyce Dahmer, mother of the notorious serial killer Jeffrey in My Friend Dahmer. She is hilarious as the boozy and incompetent mom, a terrible cook who may have planted the seeds of Jeffrey’s inner darkness by pleading during the divorce proceedings that she should have custody of Jeffrey’s brother Dave while her ex-husband should be landed with the creepy Jeffrey. At one of these, she realises that the guests include a college contemporary, a haughty trophy wife played by Sandra Oh, whom she remembers being obnoxious. Maybe longform TV was a better platform for her complexity, although it was clear that she was developing some excellent work in cinema in character roles and dark comedy.

Hollywood tried to slot her into cookie-cutter blockbusters, sometimes successfully. She was at her best playing competent women in extreme situations.

There was a chance that Heche was on the verge of yet another career revival. “Birth” is an otherworldly piece, and it’s almost as if Glazer uses Heche to further unsettle the audience, a task she takes on with vigor. She never stopped working, but the Anne Heche offscreen soon started to overshadow the Anne Heche on. In Heche, you can see Laura bristling at the restraints that come with the comforts of a close friendship and good relationship. She was faced with mockery that followed her for the rest of her career. In some ways, she operated in the most mainstream arenas of the entertainment industry.

Remember Anne Heche With Her 13 Best Movie Roles (Parade Magazine)

Looking back at the diverse movies that made up Anne Heche's remarkable acting career, including comedies, drama, black comedy, mysteries and horror films.

The 1998 movie billed as an action-adventure comedy was directed by Ivan Reitman and also stars David Schwimmer. It is considered to be one of Heche's most compelling and memorable film performances. Denzel Washington stars as the titular John Q in what's a tragically common circumstance in the only first world country without a national healthcare system: a father whose son is can't get a heart transplant because his insurance refuses to cover the procedure. The movie has a scheduled September 2022 air date. The 1997 political satire and black comedy Wag the Dog follows a president caught in a sex scandal two weeks prior to his re-election—and the team that helps him distract the public from it. The movie is based on Joseph Pistone’s book, Donnie Brasco: My Undercover Life in the Mafia. The movie also stars Heche, James Gandolfini and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Two friends must choose whether to help a third friend who was arrested in Malaysia for drug possession. The film has a powerful message to stop violence against women. Heche plays an adviser who enlists the spin doctor Conrad Brean ( Robert De Niro), who decides a distraction is the best course of action. Donnie Brasco, considered one of the greatest Mob movies made, stars Al Pacino, Johnny Depp and Michael Madsen. Heche plays the part of Betty. All of this was a far cry from her first paying job of $ 100 a week at the 76 House Dinner Theater in South Jersey.

Remembering Anne Heche, movies to watch this weekend (MARCA.com)

Depp plays an undercover police officer who wants to bring catch the big fish in a heart-stopping gangster drama. They must put away their differences in order to survive. The great movie starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert DeNiro addresses the behind-the-scenes of what happens in a political scandal and how the media creates a circus around a topic to divert the attention towards a different topic, in this case, a new war.

Anne Heche: Her Most Memorable Roles, From 'Donnie Brasco' to ... (Collider.com)

The controversial actress passed away at age 53 on Friday. We take a look back at her most memorable film and TV appearances. Anne Heche-Six Days Seven Nights.

Tim Lippe (Ed Helms) was going to be somebody, but then he wasn't. He has spent his whole life in Brown Valley, Wisconsin, selling insurance. Amelia (Catherine Keener) and Laura (Heche) are childhood best friends. When the weather changes, the plane crashes on an uninhabited island, forcing the two to support one another in order to survive. During his investigation, he meets Roxane (Heche), the daughter of O'Regan, who was abandoned by her mother at 16 and cannot look past it to see the good. Two years later, lawyer Beth (Heche) tracks down the two and delivers a bombshell: a few days after they left the island, police raided their camp to find large quantities of hash, leaving Lewis to take the blame, and in eight days he is set to be put to death. Heche appears in the big-budget disaster flick Volcano (not to be confused with Dante's Peak, which came out the same time) as Dr. Amy Barnes, a seismologist who warns the people of downtown Los Angeles that an underground volcano is forming.

Anne Heche Was a Compelling Study in Contrasts (TIME)

The star of movies like Walking and Talking and Six Days Seven Nights died following a series of car crashes in Los Angeles.

Over the years, some have taken pleasure in slugging away at the easy target of Heche’s mental-health and substance-abuse issues. Better to remember Heche as a loopy screwball heroine marooned on an island with a gruff hottie pilot. She was a compelling study in contrasts, as adept at sly comedy as she was at dramatic roles, and watching her was often a source of pleasure and wonder.

Anne Heche's best roles: A great actor, even in bad movies (Los Angeles Times)

Anne Heche, who died Friday at age 53, was undervalued by Hollywood but did her best work in dramas like 'Walking and Talking,' 'Birth' and 'The Third ...

Given the still-rampant Hollywood homophobia of the early 2000s, it was and still is hard to refute the truth of her claim. As it happens, “Another World” was one of a few soap operas on semi-regular home rotation when I was growing up, around the time that Heche’s stellar performance won a 1991 Daytime Emmy for younger actress in a drama series. Heche kept working in movies, sometimes to standout effect; she was terrifically moving in the independent comedy “Cedar Rapids” and the tense dirty-cop thriller “Rampart.” But the movies gave her less and less back than she gave them, and she found more receptive audiences in theater and television. Like all idle gossip, it threatens to flatten the deeper truth of a human life and obscure the work of a remarkable career. Although widely panned, the movie fared better commercially than her other two big 1998 releases, the prison drama “Return to Paradise” and Gus Van Sant’s much-maligned “Psycho” (both of which, as it happens, co-starred Vince Vaughn). It pretty much was, though I haven’t forgotten the strange, prickly intensity of Heche’s performance as the doomed Marion Crane, which was all the more fascinating for short-circuiting our easy sympathy for one of the most heartbreakingly sympathetic characters in movie history. Another example, and still one of the best, was “Walking and Talking” (1996), the first of writer-director Nicole Holofcener’s many movies about smart, spiky, marvelously uncooperative women. It underscores one of Heche’s foremost strengths as an actor, namely her refusal of the obvious, her willingness to dig out the hidden, unrealized possibilities of a scene. The movies themselves didn’t always know what to do with Heche, who died Friday at the age of 53, and so it was thrilling to encounter the ones that did. As a teenage Hitchcock enthusiast, I eagerly sought out Van Sant’s “Psycho” in theaters, my curiosity about a shot-for-shot remake of one of my favorite films overpowering my suspicion that the result would be as dreadful as its reviews suggested. It’s not immediately clear what connection Clara has to this puzzler of a story, about a woman (Nicole Kidman) whose life is rocked by the apparent reincarnation of her late husband as a 10-year-old boy. More than the other characters, Clara is willing to take seriously — and yes, explore — the story’s outrageous premise.

Anne heche: The star's best movies and where you can watch them (Metro)

The actress and Hollywood star appeared in some of the most well-known films of the 1990s, including I Know What You Did Last Summer.

In fact, she dazzles as her variation of Marion Crane, with an icy, laid-back cool. Despite its intense loyalty to the source material, Gus Van Sant’s 1998 Psycho doesn’t quite do it as a horror film overall. Veronica married rich, becoming an ‘entitled trophy wife, while Ashley is a starving artist in a rocky relationship with her partner.’ In it, she plays Maggie Pistone, wife to FBI agent Joe Pistone (played by Johnny Depp) as he goes undercover to infiltrate the mob. Rent it on iTunes Missy isn’t who she seems though and the actress is utterly convincing.
