Anne Heche Career

On the soap opera Another World, Heche made her acting debut in the dual roles of twins Vicky Hudson and Marley Love. Heche continued to make appearances on the show for nearly 4 years, from 1987 to 1991. Numerous awards, including the 1991 Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series, were given to her for her role in Another World.

Heche had no other on-screen roles at that period on the soap opera, and she had no acting assignments lined up when she made the decision to quit, so she was unsure about her acting future after leaving Another World. She knew she didn’t want to continue performing in soap operas because they were seen as being quite minor in the greater area of professional acting. As a backup, she applied to the Parsons School of Design in New York City and got admitted.

However, not long after submitting her application to design school, she was granted a small supporting role in the Jessica Lange-starring Hallmark Hall of Fame television movie adaptation of Willa Cather’s novel O Pioneers! Heche chose to take up that offer as opposed to enrolling in design school and pursuing her performing career.

She found out that Another World had been awarded a Daytime Emmy while she was in Nebraska filming O Pioneers! She called her agency and said, “Does this mean I’m an actress?” after hearing the news. She followed the agent’s advice and relocated from New York City to Los Angeles a few days after the movie’s filming wrapped up. O Pioneers!, her debut TV film, would air in February 1992. The critics gave her performance some positive feedback. After completing O Pioneers, she made a cameo in an episode of Murphy Brown!

This episode, which was filmed after O Pioneers! but didn’t air until November 1991, marked her first appearance on primetime television. She also made her first appearance outside of Another World at this time. She largely refrained from doing TV guest parts until the 2000s because she thought her appearance on Murphy Brown would hurt her chances of landing a long-term employment.

Heche performed in two plays staged as part of the Mark Taper Forum-sponsored “Sundays at the Itchey Foot” series: the Generation X slice-of-life piece “Us & Them” and the stage adaptation of the James M. Cain novels Dead Man and The Baby in the Icebox, “Getting Away With Murder.”

Early in 1993, Heche made her theatrical film debut in the obscure independent film An Ambush of Ghosts, directed by Everett Lewis.

She subsequently acted alongside Elijah Wood in The Adventures of Huck Finn, a Disney film. Over the course of the next two years, she mostly played minor supporting roles in movies like A Simple Twist of Fate (1994) and cable television shows like Girls in Prison (1994) and Kingfish: A Story of Huey P. Long (1994). (1995).

She shared the lead part in Donald Cammell’s erotic thriller Wild Side (1995) with Christopher Walken and Joan Chen, albeit she wasn’t awarded the lead credit. The dramatic lesbian sex scene between Heche and Chen in the film contributed to the film’s relative notoriety. Heche portrayed the major role of a college student debating an abortion in a 1996 installment of the made-for-HBO anthology film If These Walls Could Talk, which also starred Cher and Demi Moore.

She acted alongside Catherine Keener as childhood best friends in the indie movie Walking and Talking. On Entertainment Weekly’s list of the “Top 50 Cult Films of All-Time,” the restricted-release film earned favorable reviews from critics and is placed number 47. Alison Macor, a critic for the Austin Chronicle, praised Heche and said in her review that she “is destined for larger film parts.”
