Anne Heche Memoir 'Call Me Anne' Scheduled for January

New York (AP) -- In a memoir Anne Heche worked on over the past year, the actor shared candid thoughts on her relationship with Ellen DeGeneres in the late 1990s, when they were among Hollywood's first openly gay couples.

"I was labeled ‘outrageous’ because I fell in love with a woman. I had never been with a woman before I dated Ellen," Heche wrote in “Call Me Anne,” which Start Publishing has scheduled for January. Heche, whose films included “Donnie Brasco” and “Wag the Dog,” died Aug. 14 at age 53 after a car crash in Los Angeles.
