contactmusic.com: Gina Gershon was to be in Purple Rain From http://www.contactmusic.c...ce_1047478 :
Hollywood star GINA GERSHON turned down the opportunity to work with pop superstar PRINCE - because he wanted to change her name. The actress, who is also an accomplished singer, admits she was asked by the star to appear on iconic 1984 album Purple Rain - but wasn't prepared to swap her original moniker in exchange for singing stardom. She says, "Prince wanted me to do Purple Rain years ago. He flew me out there and he's changing my name, and for some reason, I backed out of that. "He goes, 'I think I'm going to call you Gheena.' I said, 'Gheena Gershon?' And he said: 'No. Just Gheena.' At that moment I knew this was going to be weird. I was so young. I was like, 'I want to go to college…"
Yes, that IS weird. She must be older than I thought. ben -- "the prince.org guy" |

Wendy acted in a TV show with Geena Gershon called 'Snoops' (I think for only one episode). They must have already known each other from the PR days..... | |

They said something about "Showgirls" are they talking about that movie that came out in the mid 90's and had all of those prince songs playing in it?!?!? If so, the girl that was playing the lead part in that movie is this the woman we are talking about?!?!?

  Yes, THAT 'Showgirls', and Gina Gershon played the "Margo Channing" part of Crystal Connors (the one who is usurped by Jessie from Saved By The Bell who plays the lead role). . [Edited 10/24/07 2:08am] | |

Doesn't say she was to be in Purple Rain the movie. Moreso suggests she would sing on the album. We could suggest thats implied but hey. Glug, glug like a mug | |

Ha, and then she went to college and met Lenny Kravitz there, didn't she? I read she was an old college friend of his, which is why she was asked to star in the 'Again' video. | |

Peep this flick called Bound. Good stuff. The TRUTH.......only exist in 1 form.
The TRUTH. | |

Do ALL men love 'Bound'? I mean it was a fun film, but cut the lesbian sex scene out of it and I bet DVD sales would be a fraction of what they are. | |
