She was very active for her age, and often put a blanket under her shirt and pretended to be having a baby, using her younger sister, Elle Fanning, who is also an actress now, as the baby. Dakota went to a playhouse near her home, where the children that attended put on a play every week to show to their parents.

But the people running the playhouse noticed that Dakota stood out, and advised her parents to take her to an agency. They believed that she was extremely talented.

The Fanning family were advised to spend six weeks in Los Angeles, a long way from their home in Georgia. But there Dakota managed to get her first work; to star in a national Tide commercial. She was chosen out of many, many other children.

The family then decided to move to Los Angeles permanently, for it looked like Dakota’s career was looking very good. After they moved, Dakota signed with a professional agency, and soon won a role in the movie Tomcats (2001). She then went onto a small project called Father Xmas (2001) as Clairee.

But Dakota’s big role was yet to come. She auditioned for one of the main characters in I Am Sam (2001), and the director and the rest of the crew were surprised by her extraordinary performance. Dakota was cast, and starred in the movie as Lucy Diamond Dawson, alongside major Hollywood stars Sean Penn and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Family, Education & More

Heche was born on May 25, 1969, in Aurora, Ohio, the youngest of five children of Nancy Heche (née Prickett) and Donald Joseph Heche. Heche’s family moved a total of eleven times during her childhood; at one point, they lived in an Amish community. When asked in a 2001 interview on Larry King Live what her father’s source of income was, Heche replied, “Well, he was a choir director. But I don’t think he made much on that a week. He said that he was involved in a business of gas and oil. And he said that until the day he died. But he never was involved in the business of gas and oil ever.”

The family settled in Ocean City, New Jersey when Heche was twelve years old. Due to desperate finances, Anne went to work at a dinner theater in Swainton. “At the time we’d been kicked out of our house and my family was holed up living in a bedroom in the home of a generous family from our church,” she said. “I got $100 a week, which was more than anyone else in my family. We all pooled our money in an envelope in a drawer and saved up enough to move out after a year.”

On March 3, 1983, when Heche was 13, her 45-year-old father died of AIDS. Although he never came out as homosexual, “He was in complete denial until the day he died. We know he got it from his gay relationships. Absolutely. I don’t think it was just one. He was a very promiscuous man, and we knew his lifestyle then,” Heche said on Larry King Live. Despite her father being gay, Heche has claimed that he repeatedly raped her from the time she was an infant until she was 12, giving her genital herpes. When asked “But why would a gay man rape a girl?”, in a 2001 interview with The Advocate, Heche replied “I don’t think he was just a gay man. I think he was sexually deviant. My belief was that my father was gay and he had to cover that up. I think he was sexually abusive. The more he couldn’t be who he was, the more that came out of him in ways that it did.”

Anne Heche Movies

Anne Heche Ellen Degeneres

The occupants of a house in rural California did not recognize the confused woman on their doorstep, even though they must have seen her in countless magazines and on television shows. Perhaps they had even seen her in the movies, but now all they were sure of was that the stumbling stranger had appeared out of nowhere on a hot afternoon in Cantua Creek, 40 miles west of Fresno. So they called the police, who summoned an ambulance and Anne Heche, until hours earlier half of Hollywood’s only publicly acknowledged lesbian couple, was taken to hospital.

It was an obscure setting for the final deflation of a declaration of gay pride. Heche’s relationship with the former sitcom star Ellen DeGeneres had been a cross-pollination of life, art, celebrity, and sexuality in which Heche, then on the verge of genuine fame, and her partner, DeGeneres, used and were used by the media.

Heche had won awards for her work in daytime television, so she knew what she was talking about when she said: “Soaps are the most underrated medium. You can mess up and they still give you 40 pages the next day.”

A year later she had reason to reassess her evaluation: when her relationship with DeGeneres was out in the open, it was evident that there was another more powerful vehicle for generating prurient attention. “I was naive, hugely naive,” she said. “I fell in love and I didn’t believe people would care. The Hollywood community and friends and family backed away.”

That year, 1997, was a big one for both of them: Heche won plaudits for her roles in the Al Pacino mob movie, Donnie Brasco, and as a presidential adviser in the political satire Wag the Dog; DeGeneres became for a time the most talked-about performer on the small screen when her character in the show Ellen came out as gay at the same time as the actress herself, making television history as the first lesbian in a leading role on prime-time television.

Heche, now 31, and DeGeneres, 43, had met a few weeks earlier at Variety magazine’s Oscars party. Almost immediately they became the hottest story in town. The couple declared their love not through the drip-feed of paragraphs in the gossip columns but on the top-rated Oprah Winfrey Show. To show that they really meant it, the pair canoodled at the annual White House correspondents’ dinner. President Clinton had no objections.

In motor vehicle collisions, sternal fractures are commonly caused by the chest striking the steering wheel. According to the National Library of Medicine, 60-90% of all sternal fractures are caused by crashes, with the incidence tripling with seatbelt use, likely because of deceleration forces.
