Summary

In today’s episode, Troy explores one of the most culturally important relationships in Hollywood history: Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche. He revisits the coming out episode of Ellen’s self-titled ABC sitcom and the important role it plays in American culture. He also peels back the complicated layers of Anne Heche’s dark childhood and the impact it made on her years later. And of course, we’ll discuss August 19, 2000, the day Anne unexpectedly showed up at a woman’s home in Fresno, California where she demanded a shower and claimed to be god sent from a space ship.
