Rosanna Arquette on how Tom Petty helped her heal after Alexis Arquette’s death

Transgender actress Alexis Arquette, who would have turned 50 this past July, died of complications from AIDS on Sept. 11, 2016. In her final moments, Alexis was comforted by the music of David Bowie, requesting that “Starman” be played at her bedside. But it was Tom Petty who comforted Alexis’s sister, actress and activist Rosanna Arquette, during this difficult time.
