Anne Childers

I was extremely saddened on March 26th when I heard of the passing of Anne Childers. Anne was a work friend of mine from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy". She died of cancer at only 32 years old.

Anne was the one of the most beautiful, kind, awesome, generous people I have ever known. She was part of the team that helped me get from a freelance "QE" production assistant to a full-time one. She also gave me my job on "the Cut". She was a very important person in helping me break into the New York television production scene and for that I am eternally grateful.

The past couple of days I have been with my former "QE" crew. The only silver lining of these past few days is that I got to see many people I haven't seen in so long. But that just shows Anne's character; that she was able to bring all these people together.

I'm so thankful I knew her.

Below is a picture of Anne from November 2007. I will miss her dearly.

Anne was my cousin, thank you so much for sharing your memories of her. I was unable to make it to New York for the party, so finding things like this is a great help trying to process this event.

She was such a force to be reckoned with, it still doesn't quite seem real to me.

Thanks again.

My husband and I were two of Anne's "dog friends" in Fort Greene park. She was terrific. We miss her and the daily ritual of trying to get "Pickles" out of the park. Peace to our beautiful friend, Anne.

Anne was the first production manager to hire me in NY after my summer internship with QE. I'm so sorry to her family and husband for their loss.

I am so sorry to hear of Anne's passing. I worked with her on "The Cut", and other projects, and only now just found out. She was always wonderful to be around, and she will be missed.

Anne was a one of a kind individual. She was a force of nature. The type of person you would never forget once you met her. I worked with her on QE and followed her progress afterward. I was blown away to hear of the tragic and sudden news of her death. Definitely the loss of her will create a little empty place in the world where she would have been.

Today is Annie's 'anniversary'. Hardly a day goes by when I don't think of her, but thoughts of her have been plentiful lately for obvious reasons.

We miss you, friend; thanks for the fun times, long talks and happy memories. Hope to see you on the other side.

Wow, this is such a shock. I worked with Anne on my first TV job, The Cut. She had a great energy..she was so friendly and easy to be around--and really gorgeous. Bless you.

I met Anne whilst in New York in 2007. My friend and I were visiting for a week from Yorkshire, England. We met in a bar and she gave me her card to keep in touch as I am involved in the TV industry over here. We emailed back & forth a few times and I stopped getting replies after a while. Here is why. Very sad. I only spent a couple of hours in her company but it was enough for me to learn she was a lovely person, very friendly and a great sense of humour.

Its odd how something can hit you hard despite only knowing her a second in the grand scheme of things.
