FOX 11 (https://www.foxla.com/news/actress-anne-heche-crashes-car-into-mar-vista-home)LOS ANGELES - The driver who crashed into a Mar Vista home, sparking a fire, has been identified as actress Anne Heche.
Firefighters were sent to the 1800 block of South Walgrove Avenue just before 11 a.m.
The car, a 2020 Mini Copper, went through the house, causing a massive fire. Firefighters knocked down the flames within an hour and eventually pulled the car out of the home.
LAFD says Heche was rescued and taken to the hospital in critical condition. Images from SkyFOX appear to show Heche trying to get out of the gurney she was placed in. ...

Photo shows her being carted off on gurney. She sat up and started waving her arms around wildly.
TMZ (https://www.tmz.com/2022/08/05/anne-heche-crashes-car-home-burned-fire/) implies she was drinking.

My Give a Shit Meter for this pioneer SJW is showing about uh.......... zero.

While I've never seen her acting and have no personal investment in it, I thought it an interesting story, if only for the fact that part of the incident was caught on video. Shortly before hitting the house and catching it afire, she had collided with another building and fled. Then she was seen on video speeding down a residential street before crashing into the house. It's almost like she had a death wish, which is kind of sad.

I don't believe Heche is a SJW. She has been 'persona non grata' in the social justice community ever since she decided to go straight.
Mental illness is prevalent in her family. Both of her parents are monsters. Her brother committed suicide. I have nothing but sympathy for her.

That tends to happen when one grows up in a home where sexual assault from your father was the norm and having a mother that refused to do anything about it.

Heche crashed her car into a home on Friday
By Lauryn Overhultz | Fox News
Anne Heche is in a coma following the car crash that ignited a fire and almost destroyed a home in Los Angeles on Friday, her rep confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Heche, 53, is in "extreme critical condition," a representative for the actress said.
"She has a significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention," the rep said. "She is in a coma and has not regained consciousness since shortly after the accident."
Heche's rep shared on Saturday that she was in "stable condition," noting that the actress' "family and friends ask for your thoughts and prayers and to respect her privacy during this difficult time."

What a bizarre situation.

She has a history of substance abuse, and possibly mental health issues.

Actress Anne Heche had cocaine and possibly fentanyl in her system at the time she crashed her blue Mini Cooper into a Los Angeles home last week.
Heche on Friday was taken to a nearby hospital after she crashed her vehicle into a two-story home. The Mini Cooper and the house were both engulfed in flames, and Heche suffered severe burns.
Sources from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) reportedly told TMZ on Thursday afternoon that Heche had her blood tested following the fiery crash. Cocaine was found in her system, as well as fentanyl, though the latter could be from pain medicine administered to Heche by medical professionals in the aftermath of the crash.
Alcohol was not found in her system. ...

This typically happens when your body is engulfed with flames for an extended period.

Yes I know..but if she was in a coma how was she moving and sitting up.... :shrug:

I didn't see the gurney pics. Sorry, came in late.

Not sure if this is her.

Here's another. Yes, she is leaning forward. And her hair is not burned. Weird. The narrative I have read does not reconcile with this photo.

The brain injury is caused by the injury to her lungs from breathing in red hot smoke for more than 30 minutes. Her lungs were destroyed ---- depriving the brain, of oxygen.

She's gonna be dead, Jim.

What a tragic and horrific death.

Yes..this is what I am talking about....I understand the lack of oxygen and the burning of her lungs...it's this photo that doesn't jive with the narrative....she must have collapsed soon after this is my only guess...

Breathing in superheated air and smoke would have damaged her lungs even if it didn't damage her hair.

The lung damage begins with infammation and progresses from there. Any ER doc worth the paper his or her degree is printed on knows this and will keep a victim in hospital for a minimum of 48-72 hours ---- even w/o burns --- to monitor and help the lungs recover.
Anne's lung damage was massive and life-ending.

Yes I know..but if she was in a coma how was she moving and sitting up.... :shrug:
I read she lost consciousness and never regained it after being loaded onto the ambulance.

Everybody dies, but legacies live on. Hers will not be her acting accomplishments, sadly.
-
It is noteworthy to see the bitterness in Ellen DeGeneres. When asked if she had anything she wanted to say about Anne, her response was quite cold and detached.

Kind of consistent with the scuttlebutt being bantered around her show from what I understand. Many called her toxic tyrant.

Yes, Ellen does has a reputation as a witch, but I guess it also was a very nasty breakup between Anne and her. No love lost, so to speak.

The nastiness of the breakup came when Anne told Ellen that she was into guys.

RIP, Ms. Heche.
But I must add (and you've read this numerous times before from me):
I'd never heard of "Anne Heche" before she crashed into that building last week...
-
I never saw her acting and was unaware of her existence until the hoopla over becoming Ellen Degeneres' girlfriend. She seems to have had a very sad and troubled life (I believe the childhood abuse was mentioned above).
... In the mid-’90s, the spiky-haired blonde — who died Friday, a week after crashing her car under the influence of cocaine in Los Angeles — courted critical acclaim with scene-stealing roles in indie smash “Walking and Talking,” the political satire “Wag The Dog,” and the mobster blockbuster “Donnie Brasco” — prompting studio execs to sit up and pay attention.
By 1997, Heche — who had just turned 28 years old — was poised to become Tinseltown’s next leading lady, having inked deals to star in a rom-com opposite Harrison Ford and appear in a highly anticipated Gus Van Sant remake of “Psycho.”
But in August of that year, the starlet went public with the much older — 11 years her senior — and much more famous DeGeneres, who had publicly come out on the cover of Time magazine just four months earlier. ...
“It changed my life forever,” Heche admitted to Page Six in 2020. “The stigma attached to that relationship was so bad … I didn’t do a studio picture for 10 years. I was fired from a $10 million picture deal.”
The Emmy winner and Tony nominee further hit out at DeGeneres in a 2021 podcast interview, describing her ex-girlfriend as a money-hungry “bitch” who may have sabotaged her career in the wake of their split. ...
The breakup with DeGeneres significantly impacted the actress, who was placed in a psychiatric unit one day after the split.
Heche had driven into the desert after taking ecstasy ...
The following year, Heche released an autobiography titled “Call Me Crazy,” detailing her turbulent childhood.
The actress alleged that she was sexually abused by her father — a closeted gay man who died from AIDS when she was just 13. A year after her dad’s death, her older brother died after driving into a tree — an act that Heche believed to be suicide. ...

I liked her in Wild Side with Christopher Walken. But then I was very disturbed in the late 90s.

@mystery-ak
Yep. Direct damage and pulmonary edema.. Short of putting her on an ECMO right away, chilling her to near hypothermia and waiting for the lungs to heal (if the scarring is not too extensive) not much can be done to prevent terminal hypoxia. Even then, minutes count.The brain doesn't do well after just a few minutes without.
-
Best I can offer is thank God she took no one with her and may her soul find the peace she didn't find on Earth.
