Anne Heche’s podcast chief Ryan Tillotson pays tribute to the actress after her death at 53
Podcast head Anne Heche mentions the actress after she died on Friday aged 53.
Although a celebrity representative has confirmed she is “dead brain”, making her legally dead under California law, her heart continues to beat and she remains on life support to donate her organs.
Ryan Tillotson, producer of the Heche podcast “Better together,” he spoke after the sad news of Heche’s death, saying that he was nothing but “irreplaceable”.
Tillotson said the star would be remembered for “her big heart, commitment to the people she loved and the fearless way she fought for what she believed.”
“More than a beloved host, Anne was my friend, co-worker, and a damn good actress. Anne enlivened every room she entered with her amazing energy and friendly presence. ” wrote on Instagram next to her photo.
Tillotson recalled that the Emmy-winner said her podcast, which she calls “the belief system,” enabled her to “talk openly and share stories.”
“We are committed to continuing her legacy this way,” he said, adding that Los Angeles “is a quieter and sadder place without her.”
“It’s surreal to think that I won’t see her every week anymore. My heart hurts. I love you, Anna – he said. “Please send all your love and support to her two boys, Atlas and Homer, and to the rest of her chosen family.”
The actress, best known for her role as Patricia Campbell in the NBC drama “The Brave,” was unable to regain consciousness following horrific burns in the August 5 crash.
Officers believed Heche might have been intoxicated when she pushed her blue Mini Cooper into a house in a suburb of Los Angeles, starting a major fire.
As a result of the wreckage, Heche “suffered severe anoxic brain damage.”
