Anne Heche, who has died aged 53 following a car crash, was an American actor who swapped daytime soap opera for Hollywood films.
After several supporting roles alongside stars such as Johnny Depp, her big breakthrough came in the 1998 movie Six Days Seven Nights with Harrison Ford. She starred as a Tina Brown-style New York magazine editor marooned on a desert island with a gruff pilot after his small plane crashes.
