It was amazing
As a reminder, the two women had met at the Oscars party organized by Vanity Fair in 1997. After an intense night, the women had fallen madly in love with each other. Proud of her companion, Anne Heche had wanted to take her to the premiere of her film volcano a few days later. A choice that then had no more to the producers of the film.
“When I told them I was taking Ellen on as a date, they told me that if I took Ellen, I would lose my contract with Fox. At that moment, she took my hand and said, ‘Do what they tell you’. I said, ‘No thanks, I’ll go with you.“On the spot, the lovers had been”kicked out by security even before the end of the film“.”I was told that I was not allowed to go to the afterparty lest they take pictures of me with a woman. It was amazing“, had told the actress, still shocked by this event.
