Anne Heche’s spotlight shined bright with memorable roles in movies including “Six Days Seven Nights” and “Donnie Brasco.”
Now, with her unfortunate passing, her fans will only see a few remaining, new projects that she completed before she was declared brain dead Friday after a fiery car crash in Los Angeles last week.
“We have lost a bright light, a kind and most joyful soul, a loving mother, and a loyal friend. Anne will be deeply missed but she lives on through her beautiful sons, her iconic body of work, and her passionate advocacy,” a representative for the Emmy-nominated “Gracie’s Choice” actress told The Post.
Heche, 53, had been in a Los Angeles-area hospital and in a coma since the accident, during which she crashed into a house. She suffered a “severe anoxic brain injury” from the incident.

A blood test determined she had cocaine, and possibly fentanyl, in her system at the time of the crash. However, the fentanyl could’ve been administered for her pain at the hospital, officials said.
As for her acting career, “Wag the Dog” star Heche had several projects that have either been filmed and completed or are currently in post-production, including a film drama for Lifetime and an HBO series starring The Weeknd.
Here is a roundup of the work that fans may still see on the big or small screen.
‘Wildfire: The Legend of the Cherokee Ghost Horse’
Inspired by Michael Martin Murphey’s hit 1975 song “Wildfire,” the film unfurls a plot about “redemption and forgiveness as a young girl releases a dark secret through the friendship she develops with a wild horse,” according to the movie’s IMDb synopsis.
Heche will play Diana Jones in the film, alongside actors Adrian Paul, Mo Brings Plenty, Robert Rusler, Cara Jade Myers and Eric Parkinson.
According to IMDb, it was filmed in Sept. 2019 and will be released in theaters on Sept. 16.
The Post has contacted a rep for the movie for confirmation.
