Podcast co-host Anne Heche mourns her death


Anne Heche “Better together” Co-host of the podcast, Heather Duffy, continues to analyze the loss of a “beautiful friend.”

On Wednesday, Duffy paid an emotional tribute to the 53-year-old actress who died from injuries in a car accident earlier this month.

“I had to take a moment to start processing the deep loss of my beautiful friend with the kindest soul I knew,” wrote Duffy Instagram next to a photo of two smiling people standing back to back.

“Anne was joyful despite all the challenges she faced in her life. She was truthful even though she was in the business that is made up. What mattered most to her was spreading love and kindness around the world, even if sometimes the world would not give her away. “

Duffy then commended her friend for the “bravery” and “sacrifice” it took for her to come out as bisexual in the late 1990s.

“Her public stance on equality has enabled many LGBTQ + people around the world to see a future in which they can live their truth that was more important to her than anything else,” she continued. “We’ve come a long way because of her truth, courage and kindness when she decided 25 years ago to bring a woman as her date for the premiere of The Volcano.”
