Anne Heche, HUNG Creator Partnering for NBC Comedy Pilot

NBC is giving Anne Heche another try.

After starring in the single-season series SAVE ME, Heche is reteaming with HUNG's creator Colette Burson for a new untitled comedy, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Heche and Burson are set to co-write.

The project "centers on beauty department sales manager Poppy Blake, 43, who questions everything about love and relationships. With the help of her hilariously opinionated sister Chelsea, her romantically deprived co-workers and an array of department store clients, Poppy turns a comic yet anthropological eye on what love and sex really mean for women."

Heche was most recently lead the NBC comedy SAVE ME, which was cancelled after one season. Tony nominated for her role in Proof on Broadway, Heche also appeared on the Great White Way in Twentieth Century. She has won an Emmy Award for Another World and has appeared in such films as "The Juror" (1996), "Walking and Talking' with Catherine Keener (1996), "Donnie Brasco" opposite Johnny Depp (1997), "Volcano," and Barry Levinson's political satire "Wag the Dog" (1997).
