Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Easy first question: Who were Anne's husband and son?

Answer: Stan and Christopher

Stan Rice is a poet, and Christopher is an author as well.

2. When was Anne Rice born?

Answer: October 4, 1941

Though that seems like quite a long time ago, she's still going strong.

3. What was Anne Rice's birth name?

Answer: Howard O'Brien

Her mother, Katherine O'Brien, gave her a man's name because she thought it would make her stronger. Her birth name was Howard O'Brien, same as her father. She quickly began calling herself Anne in the first grade.

4. Is Anne Rice's son her first born child?

Answer: No

Anne and Stan Rice had a daughter, Michele, who died of leukaemia at a very young age. Shortly after Anne became a full time writer.

5. Is it true that Anne rejected Catholicism?

Answer: Yes

She rejected it at age 18, not being able to accept the close-minded teachings on sex and death.

6. Which of these jobs did Anne NOT have before becoming a full time writer?

Answer: newspaper co-editor

It's hard to see Anne Rice as an insurance claims examiner.

7. How long did it take Anne to write "Interview with the Vampire"?

Answer: 5 months

She'd already written the short story, and with some tweaking, she morphed it into the best selling novel it is today.

8. Who was the model for Lestat's character?

Answer: Stan Rice-her husband

Tom Cruise? Please God, don't let anyone have picked him. Lelio Padavani is an actual person, and a singer, but I just typed in the name "Lelio" and that's how I got that name. Lestat Douay is completely name up.

9. One year Anne Rice threw the Halloween ball for The Vampire Lestat Fan Club. What did she call it?

Answer: The Memnoch Ball

The Vampire Lestat Fan Club is run by Lestat's fans, and they usually throw the Halloween balls.

10. Who was the model for Claudia's character?

Answer: Michele

Because Anne's daughter died at such a young age, she found a way to immortalize Michele in her writing. When Claudia died it was because "she was meant to die", as was her daughter, Anne said.
