Apples almost died making Purple Rain This is probably old news, but:
from http://www.contactmusic.c...PLE%20RAIN One of the best kept secrets about the making of PRINCE movie PURPLE RAIN has been revealed 20 years after the film became a surprise hit - one cast member almost died. PATRICIA KOTERO (corr), who played Prince's girlfriend APOLLONIA in the film, almost died from hypothermia after diving into a freezing lake - during the film's infamous strip scene. ALBERT MAGNOLI, who made his feature film directing debut with the low-budget 1984 musical, reveals shooting sexy scenes at Lake Winnetonka during a fierce Minnesota winter were not a good idea. He explains, "She (Apollonia) hit the waters and we had divers underneath just in case. But she just went into shock. We couldn't film her coming out of the water because she was so frozen. "The divers grabbed her and immediately rushed her into a tent full of heaters and it took her 50 minutes to thaw out." The remainder of the lake sequence was filmed in Los Angeles, California. 07/10/2004 21:15 | |

THE UNEDITED TRANSCRIPT WHICH FOLLOWED "The divers grabbed her and immediately rushed her into a tent full of heaters and it took her 50 minutes to thaw out."
"...Everyone was in panic. Both the star, PRINCE, and director, ALBERT MAGNOLI, ran in to assist. Each dropped to there knees, took an ample Jubbley in there hands, and proceeded to apply the Kiss of Life to their respective, bulging iced-up nipple. After 30 or 40 minutes of heroic but disturbingly sloppy toungework (which Prince would go on to repeat for the cameras just weeks later in a kiss with the starlit which was included in the film), Apples was pronounced "alive and sen-fucking-sational!" SIDEBAR: Per Neilson has recently discovered that it was on this day the song Erotic City was conceived. (the original lyrics having been: "we could suck until the dawn" were removed when Albert Manoli's vocals were mixed out and replaced with Sheila E). Coincidence?.... | |
