Heche talks to
Barbara Walters about abuse, insanity, Ellen

In an interview with Barbara Walters on 20/20 that will air Wednesday night at 10 p.m. (Eastern and Pacific time; check local listings), actress Anne Heche reveals that her father sexually abused her until she was 12 and that the abuse made her "insane" and led to her developing a split personality. Reuters reports that Heche claims she did not recover from her mental illness until after a breakdown last year in Fresno County, Calif., when she took the drug ecstasy and entered a stranger's home, babbling about God's spaceship. "I had a fantasy world that I escaped to," says Heche, who was involved with Ellen DeGeneres for more than three years. "I called my other personality Celestia.... I believed I was from another planet. I think I was insane." Heche, who was married to cameraman Coleman Laffoon over the weekend, claims that she had never been with another woman before her involvement with DeGeneres and that the comedian was the best sex she had ever had.
