Does Anne Rice still live in New Orleans?

Answer 1

On January 30, 2004, having already put the largest of her three homes up for sale, Rice announced her plans to leave New Orleans. She cited living alone since the death of her husband as the reason. "Simplifying my life, not owning so much, that's the chief goal", said Rice. "I'll no longer be a citizen of New Orleans in the true sense." Though she had left New Orleans prior to the disaster of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, and none of her former New Orleans properties took on water, she remained an advocate for relief for the city. In spring 2005, Rice moved to California, to be nearer her son, Christopher.

Answer 2

Anne Rice passed away in December 2021, but she did live in New Orleans for many years before her death. She was known for her deep connection to the city and often incorporated its rich culture and history into her works.
