Anne Heche, the Emmy- and Tony-nominated actress who came to prominence in the 1990s in films like Walking and Talking and I Know What You Did Last Summer, has died at the age of 53 after suffering injuries from a car crash. The news was confirmed on August 12 by her family and rep to in a statement to PEOPLE. “Today we lost a bright light, a kind and most joyful soul, a loving mother, and a loyal friend,” a statement read. “Anne will be deeply missed but she lives on through her beautiful sons, her iconic body of work, and her passionate advocacy. Her bravery for always standing in her truth, spreading her message of love and acceptance, will continue to have a lasting impact.”Born to a large family in Aurora, Ohio, in 1969, Heche had a difficult childhood: Her family dealt with poverty, and she suffered sexual abuse from her father, which she wrote about in her 2001 memoir, Call Me Crazy. When she was 13, her father died of HIV/AIDS, and her older brother died later that year in a car crash. Heche’s career began a few years after these tragedies, when she began playing twins on legacy NBC soap-opera Another World, a role which earned Heche her first Daytime Emmy nomination in 1989 and first win in 1991 in the category of Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series.

In 1996, Heche earned acclaim for her starring role opposite Catherine Keener in the Nicole Holofcener indie, Walking and Talking, which continues to rank highly on lists of the greatest female friendship movies to this day. 1997 was a landmark year in Heche’s career, as she starred in four high profile features: playing Johnny Depp’s wife in the box office hit crime drama Donnie Brasco; leading the ensemble in disaster movie Volcano; scene-stealing in iconic teen slasher I Know What You Did That Summer, and going toe-to-toe with heavyweights Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro in Barry Levinson and David Mamet’s political satire, Wag the Dog. That same year, Heche began dating Ellen DeGeneres, who had only just publicly come out herself. On April 14, DeGeneres came out on the cover of TIME Magazine; the next day, she attended the Volcano premiere as Heche’s date. In 1998, Us Weekly described the celebrity couple as “the ‘90s version of Bogey and Bacall.”
