One Heche of a Story
The actress, fresh off of making headlines for her hospitalization last month following a post-breakup meltdown, is ready to take her made-for-the-tabs life story to the masses, inking a deal with Scribner to publish her autobiography.
The sure-to-be-juicy memoir will likely include details of her much-publicized romance with comedian Ellen DeGeneres, how they dealt with homophobic Hollywood, what triggered their split and what exactly she was doing wandering around half-naked and semi-coherent in Fresno.
Heche had reportedly been shopping around her life story to several publishers.
Scribner was the first to bite, gobbling up the publishing rights for an undisclosed sum. The company also secured the paperback and audio rights for its affiliate imprints, Pocket Books and Simon & Schuster audio.
A spokesman for Scribner was predictably tight-lipped about the deal.
"More will be revealed, but currently we're not talking about it," said Adam Rothberg, director of corporate communications for the publishing house.
Although many will be interested in the behind-the-scenes dish on her lesbian releationship, Heche, who has starred in Six Days, Seven Nights, Donnie Brasco and the 1998 remake of Psycho, will likely detail some of the family tragedies she's endured. Her father, a choir director for a Baptist church, died of AIDS, while her brother was killed in a car accident.
A publishing date has not yet been set.
