Anne Heche movies: what films did actress star in - including Donnie Brasco and Six Days, Seven Nights

Girl in Room 13, an upcoming Lifetime film starring Anne Heche, is expected to go ahead with its debut next month, following the news that the actress is “not expected to survive” the severe car crash that has left her in a coma.

Heche suffered from a “severe anoxic brain injury” and remains in a coma in critical condition due to the incident, which took place last Friday (5 August).

A statement from her family said: “It has long been her choice to donate her organs and she is being kept on life support to determine if any are viable.”

Girl in Room 13 is a film about the dark underworld of the billion dollar human trafficking industry, and stars Larissa Dias (When Calls the Heart, Supernatural Academy), Max Montesi (The 100, Sacred Lies) and Matt Hamilton (Turner & Hooch, Supernatural) alongside Heche.

When will it be released?

It has been confirmed that Girl in Room 13, an upcoming film starring Heche, will still debut in September, following Heche’s accident.

During a Television Critics Association press conference on Thursday (11 August), Lifetime presented a panel for the film, which was originally set to feature Heche.

Amy Winter, executive VP and head of programming, said at the panel: “As many of you know Anne remains in critical condition.

“All of us here at Lifetime are deeply concerned for her and everyone affected. We hope her friends and family stay strong during this difficult time.

“You know just as much as we do and we ask that you kindly refrain from inquiring about her health status. This project is important to Anne, along with each and every one of us.

“We all started to make a film that would bring attention to the appalling issue of human sex trafficking. We hope that this film moves you and that you are just as inspired as Anne was to help us with our mission to stop violence against women.”

Director Elisabeth Rohm said: “We’re all so dedicated to the cause, stopping violence against women and I again thank Lifetime so much for creating this platform.

“All of us, especially Larissa [Dias] who played this victim, are committed to that cause.

“We talked about it  - every single one of us - that this was our mission. And although [Heche] is deeply missed, right now, I will say the film is finished and she did a phenomenal performance - a tour de force much like Larissa.”
