RELEASED A DECADE AGO, ANNE RICE WAS GRACIOUS TO BE THE SPOKESWOMAN ON A PSA TO STOP CEMETERY ARTIFACT THEFT - - A UNIQUE 60 SECOND TELEVISION PSA WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY PATTY LEE AND ARMAND ST. MARTIN. (ARMAND ST. MARTIN COMPOSED AND RECORDED THE SCORE; PATTY LEE PRODUCED THE PSA; THE HUSBAND/WIFE TEAM OF PATTY LEE AND ARMAND ST. MARTIN WROTE THE SCRIPT AFTER HIGHLY-RESEARCHING THIS GRAVE ISSUE; AND ANNE RICE GENEROUSLY ALLOWED HER FILMING TO BE DONE AT HER HOME ON FIRST STREET IN THE GARDEN DISTRICT IN NEW ORLEANS. A LOCAL TV STATION SHOT THE FOOTAGE IN THE CEMETERIES AND EDITED THE FINAL, WITH A LOCAL FILM COMPANY SHOOTING THE FOOTAGE AT ANNE RICE'S HOME WITH PATTY LEE DIRECTING. ANNE RICE WAS A PERFECT HOST OF THE FILM SHOOT (AS WAS HER LONGTIME ASSISTANT SUE TEBBE), AND ANNE WAS A PERFECT SPOKESPERSON FOR THIS FIRST (AND STILL-ONLY) INTERNATIONALLY-VIEWED PSA ABOUT THIS VERY SERIOUS SUBJECT. THE PSA HAS BEEN AIRED AROUND THE WORLD AND HAS HAD AN IMPACT TOWARDS STOPPING CEMETERY ARTIFACT THEFT FOR RESALE BY ART DEALERS OVER THIS PAST DECADE, AND COUNTING. IF YOU EVER SEE A CEMETERY ARTIFACT FOR SALE IN ANY MARKETPLACE, DO NOT BUY IT, AND DO EACH FAMILY A FAVOR WHO IS MISSING A LOST ARTIFACT BY REPORTING STOLEN CEMETERY ARTIFACTS YOU MIGHT SEE FOR SALE. THANK YOU. KEEP THE FAITH. - PATTY LEE
