Actress Anne Heche, known for her work on the daytime soap “Another World” and the 1997 film “Donnie Brasco”, has been declared legally dead a week after she was seriously injured in a car crash.
“Today we lost a bright light, a kind and most joyful soul, a loving mother, and a loyal friend. Anne will be deeply missed,” a representative for Ms. Heche wrote in a statement to People.
The actress has been in a California hospital for a week after she crashed her car into a house in Los Angeles’ Mar Vista neighborhood.
