Why do people act like Anne Heche owed her career to Ellen Degeneres?

Anne already had a career before meeting Ellen and had starred in a bunch of big movies, including "Donnie Brasco" which co-starred Al Pacino and Johnny Depp.

I've always liked her as an actress and found her charming and interesting to watch.

Also, why do people think she used Ellen and didn't really love her? I was too young in the 90s to pay attention to this drama.

She won an Emmy for her very best first acting job, playing twins in ANOTHER WORLD.

Celestia used Ellen to get notoriety...that's it. She may have loved her, that's not my business. However, she made sure to be attached to Ellen's hip at every photo OP. Yes, she was a good actress, winning an Emmy for Another World, but I think the possibility of having "more" of everything messed with her mind even more so.

It was a different time, okay. A better time. The best of times, actually.

I don't think they do?

OP, watch the movie Bowfinger. The Heather Graham character is Anne Heche. Steve Martin wrote the script and dated Anne. I guess he thought Anne was sleeping her way to the top and was now dating Ellen to further her career.

Why do people care about gossip surrounding a loony dead woman, OP?

I never read her book "Call Me Crazy." Did she really think she was an alien?

Which people are you referring to, OP? I don't hear people saying that.

If anything I think the relationship with Ellen hurt her career. She came off like a lesbian starfucker.

Because the talk show made Ellen A list famous. Actually her coming out made her A list. While Anne was no nobody she always 2nd string to actresses like Julia Roberts and Diane Lane, the we later learned to be bisexual. Ellen was firmly A list especially for her lane.
