Anne’s book tour for PRINCE LESTAT took her all over North America, but it was in beautiful downtown Burbank where she stepped on stage for her only live interview with Christopher and Eric in front of an audience. Enjoy Anne at her most hilarious and outspoken as she basked in the glow of one of her most successful publications.
