Anne Heche is an American actress and director who came to recognition portraying twins Vicky Hudson and Marley Love in the soap opera Another World.
She was born the youngest child of Nancy Heche and Donald Joseph Heche.
When she was 13, her 45-year-old father, who was a Baptist minister and choir director, died of HIV/AIDS on March 3, 1983.
He was one of the first people in the United States to be diagnosed with AIDS. This led her to believe that he contracted it from a homosexual partner and also led a double life.
According to her, Larry King Live “He was in complete denial until the day he died. We know he got it from his gay relationships. Absolutely. I don’t think it was just one. He was a very promiscuous man, and we knew his lifestyle then.”
In addition, she claimed that he repeatedly raped her until she was 12, in the process, he gave her genital herpes.
