In Barbara Walters: Her Story (2014), Walters says her infamous '01 interview with Heche on 20/20 (1978) is the weirdest interview she's ever done.
A scantily clad Heche was picked up by police at a rural home in Cantua Creek, California after telling occupants she was looking for a spaceship that was supposed to be meeting her there. The actress spent the night strapped to a gurney at Fresno University Medical Center's psychiatric unit and was released the next morning after being seen by doctors for two hours.
After a number of personal bankruptcies and a particularly nasty divorce from her husband, Heche was filmed on a news program publicly screaming that she was being victimized by her husband for custody battles and her television studio over the cancellation of her TV series Men in Trees (2006). As of the late 2000s, she claimed she was almost homeless and broke.
Tried and said she benefited from LSD therapy for mental health.
Gave birth to her second child, Atlas Heche Tupper, on March 7, 2009. He weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz. Dad is boyfriend, James Tupper.

I put a very high premium on honesty. What I learned from [my father's] death is that if you don't accept your sexuality, it will kill you. Trust is love. Period.
I'm always honest, whether I'm in the limelight or not.
I've always kind of gone with my heart.
We have such a wonderful thing as children, that we can just make the best of everything, and say, Well, this must be what everybody else is experiencing, and I've got to make the best of it. You don't know that it's not good until you witness something that it seems better.
Are we changing the idea of what beauty is? Let's hope so. I'm not the typical Hollywood beauty. Let's hope we're looking at the insides of people a little more.
