Heche still crazy?
You would have thought journalists would pounce on the chance to ask Anne “I think I’m an alien” Heche if she was a bit more grounded these days.
Instead, when Heche showed up at the summer TV press tour to pump up interest in her ABC series “Men in Trees,” there was more curiosity in raccoons.
The series, with Heche as a self-help guru who just got dumped by her boyfriend after she arrives for a gig in Alaska, has a lot of wildlife.
Turns out the raccoon Elvis has a dog as a stunt double. And he sleeps at night. And they wake him up to go to work.
Finally, a reporter stumbled out a question about her mentally unstable past, saying something like is she now…
“Sane?” asked Heche.
Heche says she’s now very blessed, although she still has some quirks. Like covering her ears and do the LA-LA-LA whenever anyone asked about where the series was going.
“Anne doesn’t want to hear about what’s happening in the future,” explained creator Jenny Bicks, like this was perfectly reasonable behavior.
Later, when asked if anyone could relate to Heche’s character, she quipped, “Clearly, I never used a life coach.”
