The [London] Sunday Times reports that Nancy Heche is rallying allies for a lawsuit over her daughter Anne Heche's new memoir, Call Me Crazy--and that one witness against the author may be Ellen DeGeneres. Nancy Heche disputes many of the book's claims--including Anne's statements that her father repeatedly sexually abused her while her mother did nothing and that her mother indoctrinated her daughters in a form of anti-Semitic fundamentalism--and is, along with Anne's sisters, Susan and Abigail, seeking legal advice on how to persuade publisher Simon and Schuster to delete the passages before the book's publication in the United Kingdom next month. Sources say Nancy Heche could summon DeGeneres, Anne Heche's ex-partner, as a witness.
