She was very well known in the 90's, partly for her role with Harrison Ford in Six days Seven nights, but more for her dating Ellen DeGeneres. In those years same sex couples was still a talking point.
Anyway from her Wiki
On August 19, 2000, Heche drove from Los Angeles to
Cantua Creek outside
Fresno, California, and parked her
Toyota SUV along a dusty roadside.
[78] Wearing only a bra and shorts, Heche walked 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) through the desert and knocked on the door of a stranger's ranch house.
[78] When the home's occupant, Araceli Campiz, opened the door, she immediately recognized Heche from the film
Six Days, Seven Nights. Campiz recalled: "I was thinking, 'Oh my God, we're in the middle of nowhere', and she walks in."
[78] Campiz said that Heche gulped down glass upon glass of water, and then "took off her Nikes and said she needed to take a shower", at which point Campiz obliged, offering Heche a towel.
[78] As far as Campiz could tell, Heche was not drunk, drugged, or ill; however, Heche later admitted that she had taken
ecstasy.
[4] After Heche had a shower, she got settled in the living room, requested a pair of slippers, and suggested that Campiz do the same.
[78] "She wanted to watch a movie, but the VCR was broken," according to Campiz.
[78] Bemused at first, Campiz grew uneasy when Heche showed no sign of leaving—calling neither friends nor a garage—after half an hour had passed. Campiz has stated: "I didn't know what to do. So I called the
sheriff's department."
[78] According to a police report that was aired on
KSEE-TV, when deputies arrived, Heche told them that she was "God, and was going to take everyone back to heaven in a spaceship." The deputies summoned an ambulance, which ferried Heche the 50 miles (80 km) to Fresno's University Medical Center, where she was admitted to the psychiatric unit, from which she was released after a few hours.
