"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" actor worked with Heche on "Men in Trees," and she had nothing but kind words for her costar. "Anne was not only a genius, but one of the most astoundingly focussed and prepared actors I've ever worked with," she wrote in part on Instagram. "I don't think I ever saw her miss her mark. I imagine she may have called for her line once or twice but I can't recall her ever needing it. I asked her what her secret was, and she told me her first job was playing twins on Another World, so she had to memorize up to seventy pages of dialogue a day."
"She was insouciant, joyous, insightful," she continued. "We so rarely investigate the abuse, the gaslighting, the misogyny, the homophobia that drives people to finally take up the "crazy" mantle that's been placed upon them. I would tell you to read Call Me Crazy, but it's now $200 on Amazon. I paid it because I want to read it again. She was a true genius, and I miss her."
