Anne Celeste Heche (born May 25, 1969) is an American actress and screenwriter.
She starred in the television soap opera Another World.
She received a Daytime Emmy Award in 1991.
She has starred in many theatrical movies.
She is best known for her role in Six Days Seven Nights, where she starred opposite Harrison Ford.
As Heche was beginning to establish herself in movies during the late 1990s, her career was negatively affected by her highly publicized same-sex relationship with Ellen DeGeneres.
This resulted in Heche losing movie offers.
Anne Heche's same-sex relationship with comedienne Ellen DeGeneres and the events following their breakup became subjects of widespread media interest.
The couple started dating in 1997.
At one point, they said they would get a civil union if it became legal in Vermont.
They broke up in August 2000.
Heche has said that all of her other relationships have been with men.
After the split, Heche began dating cameraman Coleman 'Coley' Laffoon.
They married on September 1, 2001.
Their son, Homer, was born on March 2, 2002.
Laffoon filed for divorce on February 2, 2007.
Heche lost custody of their son in June 2007.
Sources say Heche left her husband for Men in Trees co-star James Tupper.
The couple reportedly moved in together in August 2007.
On December 5, 2008, it was confirmed by Heche's representative that the actress was pregnant with Tupper's child.
Their son, Atlas Heche Tupper, was born on March 8, 2009.
Heche is the youngest of five, but her sister Abigail is her only surviving sibling.
Her sister Cynthia died of a heart defect in infancy.
Her father Donald died of AIDS aged 45 in March 1983.
Her brother Nathan died in a car crash aged 18 in June 1983.
Her sister, Susan Bergman, died aged 48 in January 2006.
Heche and her mother, Nancy, have been estranged ever since Heche confronted her about the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her father.
Since her husband's death from AIDS, Nancy Heche has been a Christian therapist and motivational speaker.
She lectures on behalf of James Dobson's Focus on the Family about "overcoming" homosexuality.
On August 19, 2000, Heche drove from Los Angeles to Cantua Creek, a rural area outside Fresno, California.
She parked her Toyota SUV along a dusty roadside.
Wearing only a bra and shorts, Heche walked 1½ miles through the desert before knocking on the door of a stranger's ranch house.
When the home's resident, Araceli Campiz, opened the door, she knew Heche from the movie Six Days Seven Nights.
Bemused at first, Campiz grew uneasy when Heche showed no sign of leaving.
"I didn't know what to do," Campiz said. "
So I called the sheriff's department."
When deputies arrived, Heche told them that she was "God, and was going to take everyone back to heaven in a spaceship," according to a police report that was aired on NBC.
The deputies called an ambulance.
Heche went 50 miles to Fresno's University Medical Center, from which she was released after a few hours.
Heche says that she was insane for the first 31 years of her life.
She said this was due to the trauma of being sexually abused by her father during her infancy and childhood.
As a result of this trauma, Heche also says she had multiple personality disorder.
She made an alter ego named "Celestia," an alien from another planet who could speak to God and was the half-sister of Jesus Christ.
Heche said that the incident in Cantua Creek snapped her out of her insanity and put her alter ego behind her.
Anna Pavlova (St Petersburg, 12 February 1881 – The Hague, Netherlands, 23 January 1931)  was a Russian, and later English, ballerina of the early 20th century.
She is widely regarded as one of the finest classical ballet dancers in history.
She was a principal artist of the Imperial Russian Ballet and the Ballets Russes of Serge Diaghilev.
Pavlova is most recognised for dancing the rôle of The Dying Swan.
She danced this short ballet (only four minutes) about 4000 times.
The choreography was by Mikhail Fokine.
Her interpretation influenced the way others danced Odette in Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.
Training  and style
The young Pavlova's years of training were difficult, as classical ballet did not come easily to her.
Her severely arched feet, thin ankles, and long limbs clashed with the small, compact body favoured for ballerinas at the time.
Her fellow students taunted her with such nicknames as The broom and La petite sauvage (The little savage).
Undeterred, Pavlova trained to improve her technique.
She took extra lessons from the noted teachers of the day.
She was never a perfect technician, but had delicacy, lightness and grace.
Anna did not know that she would become a great dancer one day
She became prima ballerina of the Imperial Ballet in 1906.
She worked briefly for Diaghilev, but would not dance in the new avant-garde ballets which were being created, such as The Firebird.
The role was given to the equally good Tamara Karsavina, who became their regular prima ballerina.
Pavlova lived in London for many years, from 1912 until her death in 1931.
After leaving Russia, Pavlova settled in Ivy House on North End Road, near Hampstead, where she lived for the rest of her life.
While in London Pavlova taught ballet at her home.
She was influential in the development of British ballet, and inspired the career of Alicia Markova.
The house had an ornamental lake where she would feed her pet swans, and where there is a statue of the ballerina by the Scots sculptor George Henry Paulin.
It is now the London Jewish Cultural Centre but a Blue Plaque marks it as Pavlova's previous home and a site of significant historical interest.
In 1956 a film The Immortal Swan included footage of her dancing in the 1920s.
She toured Australia and New Zealand in the 1920s.
This was probably how the sticky Australian cake became known as the 'Pavlova'.

The Horizon League is a NCAA conference that plays in the NCAA Division I. The conference is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana and features universities and colleges from the Great Lakes Region.
While it plays many sports, it has never played football.
The Horizon League was founded in 1979 as the Midwestern City Conference (MCC) with six members.
None of these schools are in the league now.
The school that has been in the league the longest is Detroit Mercy, which joined in 1980 (when it was known as simply "Detroit").
The conference changed its name in 1985 to Midwestern Collegiate Conference.
In 1993, the largest conference expansion in NCAA history that did not involve a merger was announced.
Six schools left the Mid-Continent Conference, now known as The Summit League, to join the Midwestern Collegiate Conference for the 1994–95 school year.
In June 2001, the conference changed its name to the current Horizon League to avoid confusion with the "other" MCC (which did not become The Summit League until 2007).
Today, nine of the Horizon League's 12 full members (those playing most, if not all, of their sports in the league) are former members of The Summit League.
At this time, the only exceptions are longtime member Detroit Mercy, 2015 arrival Northern Kentucky, and 2020 arrival Robert Morris.
Many NCAA conferences have one or more "associate" members that play only a limited number of sports in the conference, usually one.
The Horizon League does not have such a member now, but has had one in the past.

He starred in many roles, such as Dan August, Deliverance, The Longest Yard with its 2005 remake, Without a Paddle (2004) and Smokey and the Bandit.
He won two Golden Globe Awards, including in Evening Shade for Best Actor in a Television Series Musical or Comedy and in Boogie Nights for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture.
Reynolds was the son of Harriette Fernette "Fern" (née Miller; 1902–1992) and Douglas Burton Reynolds (1906–2002).
He had Dutch, English, Scots-Irish and Scottish ancestry, and also claimed Cherokee and Italian roots through his father.
During his career, he often claimed to have been born in Waycross, Georgia, although he said in 2015 he was actually born in Lansing, Michigan.
He was born on February 11, 1936, and in his autobiography stated that Lansing is where his family lived when his father was drafted into the United States Army.
He, his mother, and his sister joined his father at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and lived there for two years.
When his father was sent to Europe, the family moved to Lake City, Michigan, where his mother had been raised.
In 1946, the family moved to Riviera Beach, Florida.
His father eventually became Chief of Police of Riviera Beach, which is adjacent to the north end of West Palm Beach, Florida.
During 10th grade at Palm Beach High School, Reynolds was named First Team All State and All Southern as a fullback, and received multiple scholarship offers.
Reynolds married Judy Carne from 1963 to 1965.
He had a relationship with Dinah Shore in the early 1970s for five years.
He had a relationship with Sally Field from 1977 to 1982, during which time they appeared together in four films.
Reynolds married  Loni Anderson from 1988 to 1993.
They adopted a son, Quinton.
He and Anderson separated after he fell in love with a cocktail waitress, with whom he later traded lawsuits which were settled out of court.
In the late 1970s, Reynolds opened Burt's Place, a nightclub restaurant in the Omni International Hotel in the Hotel District of Downtown Atlanta, and briefly operated a second version at Lenox Square.
He was a lifelong fan of American football, a result of his collegiate career, and was a minority owner of the Tampa Bay Bandits of the USFL from 1982 to 1986.
The team's name was inspired by the Smokey and the Bandit trilogy and Skoal Bandit, a primary sponsor for the team as a result of also sponsoring Reynolds' motor racing team.
Reynolds co-owned a NASCAR Winston Cup team, Mach 1 Racing, with Hal Needham, which ran the #33 "Skoal Bandit" car with driver Harry Gant.
He was awarded an honorary doctorate from Florida State University in 1981 and later endorsed the construction of a new performing arts facility in Sarasota, Florida.
He also owned a private "dinner theater" in Jupiter, Florida, with a focus on training young performers looking to enter show business.
The theater was later renamed to the Burt Reynolds Jupiter Theater and closed in 1997 after Reynolds declared bankruptcy.
In 1984, he opened a restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, "Burt & Jacks", which he co-owned with Jack Jackson.
While filming City Heat, Reynolds was struck in the face with a metal chair and had temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
He lost thirty pounds from not eating.
The painkillers he was prescribed led to addiction, which lasted several years.
He underwent back surgery in 2009 and a quintuple coronary artery bypass surgery in February 2010.
On August 16, 2011, Merrill Lynch Credit Corporation filed foreclosure papers, claiming Reynolds owed US$1.2 million on his home in Hobe Sound, Florida.
He owned the Burt Reynolds Ranch, where scenes for Smokey and the Bandit were filmed and which once had a petting zoo, until its sale during bankruptcy.
In April 2014, the 153-acre (62 ha) rural property was rezoned for residential use and the Palm Beach County school system was empowered to sell it which they did to the residential developer K. Hovnanian Homes.
Reynolds also once purchased a mansion on a tract of land in Loganville, Georgia.
