One thing that I wish they did in the movie of IWTV was to provide more info on Louis’ wife. The way Louis grieved over her and his child’s death makes you think he really must have loved her and was looking forward to being a father. Imagining Louis preparing for his child with his wife makes me happy but then imagining him devastated when they died makes me sad. Poor Louis.

Yes, exactly ;A; I headcanon that Louis had this statue made in her likeness, I would think he was wealthy enough to do that, buuuuut it might also just be a generic angel statue…

Pretty sure the portrait Louis burns when burning down Pointe du Lac is of his wife, sort of like, a “Darling, I can’t live without you any longer, I’m on my way, I’ll see you soon…” gesture ;A;

I think they just didn’t have enough time to give us more, the movie is 2 hours long, and in 1994, I seem to remember movies being more in the 1.5 hour range. 

But in the script, we get her name, age (28), and the name of the child, at least:

^BTW, I think the wife’s name is “Dianne” bc HELLO “Anne” Rice. “Die, Anne”? Maybe?
