Question about Lestat's lawyer in TVL
Hey there! I had a quick question about Lestat's lawyer Christine from The Vampire Lestat that I wondered if anyone could answer.
When I watched the Anne Rice documentary that Christophe Rice released last autumn, I saw that one of the people interviewed was Christine Cuddy, Anne Rice's longtime lawyer and good friend. When I saw her name, I thought "Oh, that's sweet, Anne Rice must have named Lestat's lawyer after her friend".
However, I can't actually find any evidence or clarification if that's true or not. It looks like Christine represented Anne Rice for decades (and is still involved with her estate), so it's entirely possible, especially since the book character is written about in a very complimentary way. Did Anne ever say anything about this or confirm that it was a deliberate naming choice?
