Anne Rice

Anne Rice Instagram – Anne was so moved to receive this photograph today, and she’s asked us to share it with all of you. A close family friend placed these flowers on the Rice family mausoleum in Metairie Cemetery outside New Orleans in honor of Michele Rice’s birthday. Anne’s beloved daughter was taken from us at the age of six by a terrible form of leukemia. She would have been fifty-five years old today, but as many of us know, she lives on as the inspiration for the child vampire Claudia in INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE. For years Michele lay in an unmarked grave in a Northern California cemetery, the victim of the financial strain that fell upon the Anne and Stan in the wake of Michele’s long illness and heartbreaking death. Some years back her remains were relocated to the Rice family mausoleum outside New Orleans, seen here, that was constructed a year after the passing of Anne’s husband, Stan. His remains are here as well. One of Michele’s favorite songs was “Free The People” by Delaney and Bonnie, which we’ve shared in the comments below.
