Once a potential Hollywood A-lister, Anne Heche's life tumbled after a scandalous relationship and a breakup with Ellen DeGeneres in 2000.

Her other credits include Donnie Brasco, Volcano, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Return to Paradise. Anne Celeste Heche was born on May 25, 1969, in Aurora, Ohio, to activist Nancy Heche and her husband, Donald Joseph Heche.

As infamous and scandalous was the romance between Anne and Ellen, the duo's brief affair proved instrumental for the future LGBTQ community in showbiz. Heche, 53, doesn't label herself bi, gay, straight, but the Another World alum claims Ellen is the only woman she's ever been with. "I met her at the Vanity Fair party. And it was a chemistry thing that you can't describe," said Ellen after the duo started dating in 1997.

The couple took it all till they couldn't. "I said, 'I think I’m ruining your career and your life and I don't think that I'm good for you. I think I should get out of here," Ellen said while recalling her split from Anne.
