RIP Anne. You are immortal.

Thanks for uploading this! I thought this interviewer was condescending throughout the clip, but Anne was thoughtful and honest and fascinating as always.

Anne, went on to love Tom Cruise as Lestat, no one else can play him like Tom, it's because Tom loved the character and respected Anne's writing.

As someone who wasn't even alive back then, I forget there was a time when people didn't know Tom Cruise was terrifying

Anne Rice is loved and never forgotten by me. Inspirational for younger me. Thank you for uploading.

I guess Tom's cruise proved his worth he was amazing in this movie so was Brad Pitt and now all these years later are beloved. Anne you will never be forgotten ♥️

thank you for uploading this. until ms. rice's death i had not really thought of what a huge influence the wonderful worlds and characters of her books had on me as an adolescent and young adult. we have lost a huge talent. rest in peace.

This guy was so condescending. The 90s was apparently so long ago, even though to me, it’s like yesterday. Tim Cruise did great! I wasn’t happy when I heard, but he nailed it.

Anne Rice is an inspiration ♥

I remember watching the original forecast of this interview in my 20's and I had just fallen in love with her writing after discovering The Witching Hour and I had began devouring all of her books, pornography including. It all spoke to me and I couldn't get enough of her! I love her and miss her terribly!!❤❤❤

That was a fun interview and great press for her at the time. I loved the pieces inside her Garden District home. The first time I went to New Orleans I went up to the gates where she was walking with the interviewer and stared at the great Mayfair house from the Witching Hour, as well as visited Lafayette Cemetery (where I presume they were as it would be the closest to her then home in the 90s). I wish the interviewer and host wouldn't have come off so sh**ty. Their attitudes belied how deeply researched and thought out her "ridiculous" novels are. I'm sure he wasn't treating her condescendingly to her face but if I were her, I would've been a bit annoyed at the candor they displayed at the beginning. But, as I said, the press was really good for her so I'm sure she was happy to have the story on a major network.

thank you so much for this!

great interview, thank you!

That interviewer is totally cringe. He wants Anne Rice to be something she just isn't. She had experienced one of the worst tragedies a mother could have. And it's okay for her to have a fantastical imagination and fantasy world.

Holy Fork! Look at that huge computer screen!!

Incredible blessings

She is 🖤

I used to watch television! This is how television used to be. It used to be good!

I love her ...

10:25 twilight... years before the other "twilight" ;)) RIP Anne.

💚

your baby went home to God Anne.

"Does she ever punish you?" The interviewer asks her son. What an absolute clown pos

Tom Cruise's fans outnumber Anne Rice fans - ? Hah!

We know her house is wheelchair friendly

I think Brad Pitt should have been Lestat....

God, the interviewer was so rude in his voiceover. What an impolite approach in person too.

2 guys...1 coffin

I’ve never seen a newspaper delivery from a guy who looks like Tom Cruise. Where does this dude get his ideas from? He’s the weird one.

In Hindsight sight. Tom Cruise turned out to be a pretty good Lastat.

Tom Cruise destroyed a fabulous novel.

icky interview

I absolutely abhor this interviewer. Great interview nonetheless.
