While Anne Heche couldn't make for a long time on Dancing With the Stars, she made sure the time spent on the new season was worth watching. The 51-year-old actress impacted not only the viewers but also the judges of the dancing reality show.
The actress was paired with a South African professional dancer, Keo Motsepe, who delivered great Ballroom and Latin performances. However, the highlight of her appearance on the show was the details she shared about her past.
Heche opened up about her peak time in Hollywood and how her career went downhill due to her liking for the same gender. In fact, the actress dropped Ellen DeGeneres' name on the show and revealed how they were not allowed to be seen together on a particular event.
The Six Days Seven Nights star recently spoke with Lauren Zima about her journey on the dancing show, and she received support after sharing her story. She admitted that it turned out to be one of the most difficult things that she had ever done in her career.
The actress reflected on her elimination and said that one could say yes to certain things that come to their life, and then there is an option to say no but then what's interesting in saying "no"? While the actress was on the show, she took the stage post-performance to public her relationship with the 62-year-old host in the 1990s and revealed that it was painful because she was removed from the big projects.
Heche noted that many people didn't support her choice to revelation, but few people still stand tall with her, and one of the people was Harrison Ford. The actress disclosed that the 78-year-old actor was why she landed a role in Six Days Seven Nights.
"He called me the day after they said I wasn't gonna get it, because I took Ellen to the [Volcano] premiere, and Harrison Ford, he was a hero," she gushed about Ford.
She recalled when Ford told her that he doesn't care whoever she is linked within a romantic relationship, but he will ensure that they both make the "best romantic" pair on screen. Heche said that Ford helps her fighting the battle against all odds, and he is an extraordinary person. However, she acknowledged in the interview that she hasn’t spoken with DeGeneres in a long time.
