In The Novel and The 2002 Film
In the novel, Jesse meets Lestat at his San Francisco concert for the first time, leaps into his arms, and is then pulled back from him by the concert-goers. Then she is killed by a vampire after leaving the concert hall. But in the film, she becomes enamored with Lestat (and vice versa) in an alleyway outside a nightclub called the "Admiral's Arms" after he saves her from a trio of vampires. She then gives him back his journal before the concert. While at the concert, instead of jumping on the stage and throwing herself at Lestat like she did in the novel (as she already knew he was a vampire), she tries to warn him of the attacks by the vampires in the crowd by calling out his name. (Of course, he defends himself very well. This part was filmed in Werribee, Australia as the producers believed it would be too dangerous to use pyrotechnics in an enclosed space.)
Also in the novel, Jesse is thirty-five, is a senior for the Talamasca, and has psychic powers. But in the film, she's in her early twenties, doesn't have psychic powers, and is still an apprentice for the Talamasca.

Famous quotes containing the words the and/or film:
“Ah! on Thanksgiving day, when from East and from West,
From North and from South, come the pilgrim and guest,
When the gray-haired New Englander sees round his board
The old broken links of affection restored,
When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more,
And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before.
What moistens the lip and what brightens the eye?
What calls back the past, like the rich Pumpkin pie?”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
“The motion picture is like a picture of a lady in a half- piece bathing suit. If she wore a few more clothes, you might be intrigued. If she wore no clothes at all, you might be shocked. But the way it is, you are occupied with noticing that her knees are too bony and that her toenails are too large. The modern film tries too hard to be real. Its techniques of illusion are so perfect that it requires no contribution from the audience but a mouthful of popcorn.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
