Talk:Anne Heche/Archive 1

Negative
Jesus Christ, this page is so negative about her. Is there anything positive one can write about her? So much of this is about skits or !@#$ done about her, but not generally "ABOUT" her. WTF? This article is crap. i like the \trivia page at imdb.com better.

Vandalism
Uhm, I removed this:

In 2090, she was nominated for a Tony Award for her role in a revival of Twentieth Century; she also returned to regular television acting on the WB drama Everwood, in the contract role of Amanda Hayes.

That's just wrong... and so were several other name changes and years.


 * She did act in Everwood, as far as I know. That should go back. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 03:50, 11 June 2006 (UTC)


 * The date's wrong, but the rest is right. It was 2004 when she appeared in ], co-starring with Alec Baldwin, and she was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play. She didn't win it, though. - [[User:Nunh-huh|Nunh-huh 03:54, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

This may or may not be vandalism. She has a lot of “Red Eye” in the two photos of her. Either they were taken with a cheap camera or someone has purposely painted her eyes red in an attempt to give her an evil glare.
 * Yeh, she scares me, fer sure. Wahkeenah 03:06, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

WTF SNL BBQ?
That whole paragraph about a Saturday Night Live sketch is a howler, what with its fractured syntax and experimental spelling, but the phrase "the episode was a success" sounds just plain NPOV. Is someone being paid to deface this page? Asat 05:39, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Date of Dr. Nancy Heche's book?
There is a reference to Nancy Heche's book: 'In her recent book, "When the Truth Comes Out" she describes how prayers and her own personal spiritual awakening coincided with Anne's change from a lesbian relationship.' This will become dated and require maintenance when it is no longer 'recent'. Don't have time to research this but perhaps rather than using relative time-frame terms like 'recent' use the actual pub date to minimize need for later updating.

Pay
Someone forwarded me some articles from a newspaper, and one happens to mention the (rough) amount Ms Heche was paid per episode for Men in Trees. Is that acceptable or reasonable information to add here (clearly it was thought notable enough to mention both by her and the article, but it's in the context of a change of fortunes and perhaps a little invasive)? ntnon (talk) 03:03, 18 May 2008 (UTC)


 * If you can cite the newpaper name and the date of the article, then it may be suitable. You will want to consider whether the newspaper is considered "reputable". I.e., The New York Times has a reputation to protect, and will take considerable measures to avoid publishing sensationalist material that cannot be proved.


 * The idea of "rough" means that someone may be just guessing. That is, they have nothing to go on, but they heard at cocktail party, through the rumor mill, etc. What does "rough" mean? If someone knows the salary, why can't they say exactly what it is?

Encyclopedia
People, please don't mix hard facts with gossip and personal opinion. It doesn't do Anne favors in this situation to make statements that are not cited, or which read like fan site material. Wikipedia is not a fan site. Sentences such as "However, both she and her mother felt it best that she finish high school first." do not belong here. It's because there is no citation, but also because the idea is flawed. Making a statement such as this suggests that the decision was hers and her mother's (legally, it was probably her mother's). But, for all we know, the recommendation for the decision was made...seriously...by a lawyer. Not kidding. An article can't just throw out things like this just because they read nicely. Who made the decision? Was high school the real reason she turned down the contract? The contract terms weren't good enough? You need proof, here, not personal opinion and guesses.

I tagged the article as needing citations. There are quite a few good ones. It's the other material that's a problem. "High-profile films", as an example. What does that mean? That the films were good? Or expensive? That "low-profile films" made less money? The issue is that there is no scientific way to show what is a high-profile film, and what is not. Do "top profile" or "super profile" or "max profile" mean anything? They all sort of mean "really good". But that's all a matter of opinion, isn't it?

What I'm trying to get to is something you can work with: If you see phrases (not just the words) in blogs or fan sites that do not appear in the Encyclopedia Britannica or in Webster's dictionary, there is a good chance they do not belong in Wikipedia.

section on her sister needs correcting
This section in 'Personal Life' is incorrect in two ways -- "In 1998, Heche's sister, Susan Bergman, wrote a book about the family and their relationship with their father. Bergman was also estranged from their mother. Heche and Bergman were reportedly estranged after the release of Bergman's book; Bergman died in January 2006."

First, Susan Bergman's book, "Anonymity: The Secret Life of An American Family" was published by in 1994, not 1998. (http://www.amazon.com/Anonymity-Susan-Bergman/dp/0374254079) Second, that Bergman was 'also estranged from their mother' is speculative and if there's a source, it could only be referring to a specific time period. I believe the publication date should be corrected, the title of the book added, and, without a source to back it up, the sentence regarding Bergman's estrangement from their mother removed.

Bad Grammar
The sentence under Personal Life makes no sense when reading it:

"Shortly after the split, Heche began dating camerawoman Margaret Williams, whom she met while Laffoon was filming a comedy special for DeGeneres. They were married on September 1, 2001."

Who'd she meet or marry ? The camerawoman or Laffoon ? And who is Laffoon, whose name is just injected into the article for the first time with no prior explanation (no first name either). Is the camerawoman's name even relevent, if the relationship was that short ? Someone with better knowledge needs to rearrange this into something others with no knowledge can follow.

New Austrailian TV series "Toxic Skies"
Why there is no reference to the serie that is been emited in Austrails called "Toxic Skies" here you can see a trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGNRvWMRuPU&eurl=http://chemtrailsbaires.wordpress.com/2009/03/08/toxic-skies/

Please add.

Letterman Appearance
I saw no mention of the Letterman appearance, She appeared on the show bullying her ex-husband, calling him a "Lazy ass". She received widespread criticism for her public attack on her ex-husband. I am going to mention it on the main page with some accompanying sources for the story.Theo10011 (talk) 16:12, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Murphy Brown
Anne was in at least one episode of Murphy Brown. It's not mentioned here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.249.236.80 (talk) 04:04, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
