"Anne had a huge heart and touched everyone she met with her generous spirit. More than her extraordinary talent, she saw spreading kindness and joy as her life's work — especially moving the needle for acceptance of who you love. She will be remembered for her courageous honesty and dearly missed for her light," it concluded.
On August 5, Anne's car smashed into a house in west Los Angeles and caused a fire while the car was still embedded inside the building. Later police said they were probing the matter for driving under the influence. According to LAPD spokesperson Officer Jeff Lee, samples of the actor's blood contained narcotics. Evidence in the case is still being gathered from the accident and will be presented to the prosecutors if it is warranted once the investigation is done.
Anne is among the popular stars of Hollywood. She gained recognition after appearing in the soap opera Another World in a dual role. She has worked with many popular actors such as Johnny Depp in Donnie Brasco and Harrison Ford in Six Days, Seven Nights among others. Recently she had recurring roles on the Network TV series' Chicago P.D. and All Rise. She was also one of the participants in Dancing With The Stars in 2020.
