Source Notes
Date from "Contemporary Authors" Vol 12; time unknown. Her birth name was Howard Allen O'Brien, the daughter of Katherine Allen and Howard O'Brien. She named herself Anne on her first day of school.
Sy Scholfield quotes Zodiacal Zephyr for same date, Mercy Hospital, New Orleans, 8:05 AM CST, given as B.C. Sandra Rohzon responded that the data was submitted by someone visiting the website who gave no name and no source.
Sarah Stargaze writes on the 'net, 5/2000, "I met Anne Rice a few years ago at a book signing. I told her that I was an astrologer and asked for her birth data. She gave me place and date, then said, 'Theres no one alive that would remember my birth time.'"
Storm Cestavani writes (12/2000), "Anne Rice's secretary phoned me this evening as I requested her birthdata. I am a member of her book club. She informed me that Anne does not know her birthtime nor is it documented anywhere and her mother is deceased. She thanked me for the interest and said that Astrologers in the past have attempted to procure her data, yet unfortunatly she does not have it."
Debbi Kempton-Smith quotes a friend who asked Rice for her time of birth and Rice said "2:00 PM." This is not conclusive without documentation.
Bob Marks' website displays the chart with 8 Scorpio rising (8:01 AM) but with no data, nor does any of his charts show data or source. He writes (2/08/2001), "I got the data from an article in American Astrology magazine a few years ago. I'm tied up with work right now (plus Mercury is retrograde) but I'll look through my old issues in a few days and see if I can find the exact source."
