Anne Heche's Out-Of-Print Memoir Is Selling For Over S$1,000 After Tragic Death
Anne Heche's out-of-print memoir is selling for almost US$750 (S$1,035) following her tragic death.
Heche, who died on Sunday (Aug 14) aged 53 nine days after being critically injured in a car crash, released her book Call Me Crazy in 2001, and its price has soared among collectors and fans following her passing.
As reported by Entertainment Tonight, the book — which cost US$26 when first published by Simon & Schuster imprint Scribner almost 21 years ago and has since been out of print — is being sold as a "collectible" on Amazon for US$749 per copy.
The price for the book also went up on other online retailers. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the New York Times bestseller was for sale at US$200 before rocketing to US$499 over the weekend on one site. Other used book online retailers, it's fetching between US$304 to US$750.
The memoir focuses on the star's struggles with mental health as she tried to deal with life in the spotlight, plus the trauma she suffered after childhood abuse, as well as her high profile past romance with Ellen DeGeneres.
In an interview with the Behind the Velvet Rope podcast, which has been released posthumously, Heche revealed she was keen to write a new book Call me Sane.
The planned tome — which she described as "the flip side" of Call Me Crazy — would have delt with her life journey as she battled past trauma and abuse, while offering other people advice to help them do the same in their own lives.
She explained: "It's the practice of how to get over abuse and how to start the process of living in love with yourself that engaged with others, and living in love with kindness so you can bring yourself to others in a full capacity."
The podcast was recorded in January but was not released until Tuesday, two days after her death.
The Donnie Brasco star was declared "legally dead according to California law" on Friday (12.08.22) after suffering a severe anoxic brain injury but her family wanted to wait until organ donor matches had been found before turning off her life support.
Heche is survived by her two sons, Homer, 20, whom she shared with ex-husband Coleman Laffoon, and Atlas, 13, whom she welcome with ex-boyfriend James Tupper. — BANG SHOWBIZ
