Anne Rivers Siddons (born Sybil Anne Rivers, 1936 – September 11, 2019) was an American novelist who wrote stories set in the southern United States.
Early years
She was born in Fairburn, Georgia, and studied illustration after initially studying architecture. She was the only child of Marvin and Katherine Rivers. She was named Loveliest of the Plains and a Delta Delta Delta Delta sorority member. When she was at Auburn, she wrote a column for The Auburn Plainsman, a student newspaper that supported integration. The university administration tried to muzzle the column (when she refused to recheck what she wrote, the journal became known as a disclaimer), and ultimately fired her, prompting national attention.
Personal life
She married Heyward Siddons, who died on April 8, 2014, at the age of thirty. In the early 1980s, she suffered with four years of depression, effectively stopping her from writing. She received an honorary degree in Doctor of Letters from Oglethorpe University in 1991. She grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, and spent the summers in Maine. Siddons died in Charleston on September 11, 2019, at the age of 83.
Career
Siddons worked in advertising until she graduated from college, but she returned to writing in 1963, where she later became a senior editor.
Heartbreak Hotel (1976), Siddons' debut novel, was published. Pat Conroy's Peachtree Road, set in Atlanta, was a best-selling book for our generation. More than a million copies are in print. Heart of Dixie, a book by Ally Sheedy, Virginia Madsen, Phoebe Cates, Treat Williams, Kyle Secor, and Peter Berg, was released in 1989.
The House Next Door was adapted for a made-for-television film starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Colin Ferguson, and Lara Flynn Boyle. The film tells the tale of a woman who is attracted to a home brimming with an evil presence that preys on its residents' inability.
Siddons also partnered with HarperCollins in 1994 to write four books for $13 million. In 2008, she signed a three-book deal with Warner Books and her book titled Off Season was published. In 2011, her book "Burnt Peak" appeared on numerous best books of the year lists.
