Cat Glover

I just did a search on her and the comments indicated that (1) she had filed a paternity suit against Prince, and (2) she had disappeared from the spotlight and wanted to be left alone. I won't go near (1), but is it the case that she simply withdrew from the public eye altogether?

I stated that I wasn't interested in the paternity issue. As I said, the comments in the search archive indicated that she wanted to be left alone. I'm interested in what happened to her. I love Cat, I love her energy.

Make an exception.

If we made an exception for you, we'd need to make it for everyone. Then it would become the rule. So, no.

To answer your post, before it gets moved, Cat went back and raised her family after a tour through Europe post-Prince. She recently (within the last 5 yrs) came out of retirement. This is where you will see the pics of her looking much much older, posing.

Cat had some people close to her posting on here for a while, a few years back. There was an all girl group called The Uptown Dames which Prince was helming for Robin Power. I recall that those people also knew Cat and were able to speak briefly about her.

But that's it. What you love is Cat's energy from 1987-1989. Chances are her energy has slightly diminished over those 20 some odd years of non-professional living.

Sorry. I had written a "thank you" to Spinlight. I'm not sure what happened to it... there are some pictures of Cat Glover online, including some recent ones. She looks fantastic and works as a professional dancer and choreographer. She seems to stay in touch with Wendy, Lisa, Dr. Fink, and others.

I thought Cat was great too. Great dancer and worked well together with Prince.

Here is a behind the scenes video I shot of Cat modelling designs by Richard Hallmarq. I can tell you first hand that Cat still has the energy she used to. She's smart and funny and has some amazing stories to tell.

She favors Prince at certain angles. Am I the only one who notices the similarity in their looks? Had he chose her, they would have made beautiful babies.

Here's a story:

I hung out with Richard Hallmarq's crew, filming Cat's fashion shoot for two days. During this time, Cat was sharing great stories about her career and she was very energetic and funny. I met her in her hotel room, where the whole crew was getting ready to go to the location. I walked into the room and found myself face to face with her. Obviously, I'm a big ol' Prince geek, so I was struggling for words for a moment. I finally said "I've admired your work for years." She said thank you and smiled and I could hear Richard cracking up.

We all sat and talked for a bit, and Cat said I reminded her of a musician she worked with (no not Prince, a european guy that I can't remember his name). From that moment, she was like an instant friend. What I took from the time I spent with her, which was too brief, is that this is a person I would be friends with, no matter what she did for her career. She's introspective and aware.

Nearing the end of the first days shoot, the crew talked about going out dancing at a club. I declined and said I was going to go home. Cat said "Come here and give me a hug" and I did. Thing was, she was lying down on her bed, so that moment was a little unreal for me.

Just as I was about to hit the door, someone suggested we all go out to dinner instead. Now that I was interested in. We went to a nice italian place and talked for a couple hours. Cat shared more stories of her life and people she'd met. When it was time to go, Cat asked if I'd drive her back to her hotel. Of course I would.

It was cold out walking to my car, so I offered Cat my leather jacket. Once we got in my car, reality hit me. Cat Glover is sitting in my car, wearing my jacket. Holy crap. I mean, I saw Sign of the Time four times in the theater, owned the VHS, Laserdisc and a couple of DVDs of it.

What made it all ok was that she was such a cool person. We drove back to the hotel and ended up talking about Stephen King of all things. Ends up we're both fans of his. I took a wrong turn, which made the ride a little longer and made a joke about it being "an accident". I dropped her off at the hotel and went home.

The next day was an equally fun shoot, inside an artist's studio. We had a lot of down time, so Cat and I hung out. On the video I posted, the original has an extra segment at the end, where I'm on camera with her and she says "Yes, I know Jace" as an in-joke to some friends of mine that are Prince fans. She also made a comment about "and he bums cigarettes from me", which was true.

We talked about all kinds of things, from current music, to rumors from fans (especially from this site, which she was visiting during that time), to meditation. When it was time to say goodbye once and for all to everyone, she made an interesting comment to me. "You are the one who knows me the best". It sounds like a strange thing to say to someone who she'd just met the first time the day before, but I was flattered. I think she meant out of the group, and I think a lot of it had to do with that since I was just filming certain things, I had a lot of time to talk with her while everyone else was putting in a lot of work.

So, I hope that helps shine a light on the person Cat is. Forget the rumors, she's a real person who is amazing. I want to see her do more work in the industry again. Her story is not done yet.

^^I remember having a little argument with some friends in school,who insisted that Prince was wearing a dress on his new album cover biggrin I kept trying to tell them that it's not Prince,it's his new female dancer Cat,but they assumed otherwise.

I heard that even Prince's own father was fooled by that picture!

The boobs and the extra 10 pounds weren't enough to convince them huh? lol

I'm sure P probably put the rumor out there himself. Clever little business man.

After buying the SOTT single holding that in my hand it was hard, I was seriously confused, I thought it was a girl, but my older brother was convinced it was Prince in drag
