Anne Heche Says Harrison Ford 'Fought a Battle for Her' After She Went Public with Ellen DeGeneres

Anne Heche is opening up about working with Harrison Ford after she was vilified by some in Hollywood after bringing her then-girlfriend Ellen DeGenres to a movie premiere.

In an interview, Anne spoke about how she didn’t think she would land the role in Six Days, Seven Nights opposite Harrison after going public with Ellen.

Anne told ET, “He called me the day after they said I wasn’t gonna get it, because I took Ellen to the [Volcano] premiere, and Harrison Ford, he was a hero.”

“He said, ‘Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn who you’re sleeping with. We’re gonna make the best romantic comedy there is, and I’ll see ya on the set,’” Anne added. “He’s one of my heroes. He fought a battle for me, and I would be on any desert island with him any day.”

“He’s an extraordinary human being,” she said.
