We\u2019ve all seen those movies \u2013 those trashy slasher flicks when the killer is carried out on a gurney, covered by a sheet, and then pops up and kills the EMT.  Well, there was a real-life equivalent of this very situation (minus the murder, naturally).  Anne Heche <\/strong>\u2013 who was in the remake of Psycho<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 was driving erratically through Mar Vista, California, shortly after buying a red wig.  She was caught on camera almost mowing down a pedestrian, and then refusing to stop after nicking a garage.  That\u2019s when she turned someone\u2019s house into a McDonald\u2019s <\/em>drive-thru.  For some inexplicable reason, she pulled into a driveway, plowed through the living room of one Lynne Mishele<\/strong>, and continued about three-quarters of the way through the house \u2013 which is impressive when you consider she was driving a Mini Cooper!  Eventually the car stopped and everything was ablaze, while Heche was still in her car \u2013 perhaps singing along to a Crosby<\/em><\/strong>, Stills and Nash <\/em><\/strong>CD.<\/p>\n

Police, fire, and rescue officers were called to the scene, while one chopper caught everything on live TV \u2013 without anyone realizing the driver was marginally famous.  In a moment of blatant sexism, the reporter wondered aloud if \u201che\u201d (the driver) was OK \u2013 as if a woman couldn\u2019t have possibly caused such a commotion.  After close to an hour, a body was extricated from the passenger side of the car, placed on a gurney, and covered in a sheet.  The reporter described the grim scene when, all of a sudden, up popped Anne Heche, as if to say, \u201cI\u2019m OK!\u201d  It was an unbelievable sight!  Despite this last surge of strength, the brain injuries were too extensive, and she passed away a week later.  Who would have thought her last filmed appearance would be the most compelling of her life?<\/p>\n

Prior to Anne\u2019s death, her most notable ex was ambushed by a \u201cjournalist\u201d.  Ellen <\/strong>was asked what she thought of Heche\u2019s condition.  \u201cWe\u2019re not in touch with each other, so I wouldn\u2019t know.\u201d  DeGeneres <\/strong>added, \u201cI don\u2019t want anyone to be hurt.\u201d  While she has been criticized for being cool, Ellen was far more sympathetic than a few of my exes would have been (although, for the record, my response would be warmer \u2013 \u2018cause, you know, I\u2019m a giver).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
