Anyone rememeber VANITY appear in these shows: Friday the 13th (1989) & Miami Vice (1986)?

Does anyone remember watching these with special guest star Vanity?

Friday the 13th The Series: Mesmer's Bauble (1987 to 1989)
Angelica (Vanity) is a rock star and some jacked up creppy ugly super-obsessed fan of hers has poster and pictures ALL over his apartment, gets ahold of an ancient hypnotizing bauble that lets him have his way with everything. I forgot what his name was but I have this show taped and the last time I seen it was like 10 years ago. Well, he works at a record store where people make fun of him for recommending Angelica's records. "Try this one, you can hear every breath she takes" or something like that is what he tells the 2 girls deciding wht album to buy. There are posters of Angelica (Vanity) in the record store too, I'm thinking 1 of Vanity and Prince, maybe on the door or something, if anyone has seen this episode maybe they can tell me exaclty. Well, Vanity comes to town to do a show, and her manager (wouldn't you know it, his name is Roger!! As in Prince ROGER Nelson!!--maybe that was done on purpose) tells her to stay away from "the obsessed jerk" when he gets close and wants her autograph and she says something to him. Well, she goes into the building to rehearse "Can you kiss me....baby undress me" and the stalker is watching her every move from the balcony. He goes home and watches the Vanity video and looks into the bauble and says "make me beautiful, fix my face" so it does. He's hoping THIS will get her to notice me now! Well it does, he gets into her manager's hotel room and makes him slit his throat while he is shaving, I guess the bauble hypnotizes him to. Now that makes him that much more closer to Angelica. He ends up meeting with her and bringing her to his apartment, she is a little wacked out by all the posters of her everywhere and says "do you like her". So he starts having sex with her and holds the bauble up to her face and says he wants to be her. She gets hypnotized and then when they are lying on the floor, she "melts" into him (or vice-versa) and you see a bunch of slim everywhere and stuff. Well, it just so happens, that Angelica has a concert that night. The 2 people that always played in the Friday 13th series (Ryan and what's her name??) knows about the bauble and it's powers so they some way knew he has it and they break into his apartment and see the slimy mess and all the posters and stuff and go to the concert to find that guy. Well, they find Angelica doing her thing on stage, now she's wearing the necklace with the bauble. She's strutting her stuff in a tight lacey black dress singing "Undress Me" when she bends down in front of them a few times, they jerk that necklace off. I guess without that, that guy can't be her, so she starts deforming and turning into an ugly thing and you can see that she is transforming into that guy. He starts falling and tripping over everything on the stage and gets electrocuted somehow. So I guess that means he and Angelica both are dead, since she melted into him. So at the main end it has Ryan and that woman watching an old Angelica video, she has her hair up in a bun with a long dress on, singing "there was a boy, a very strange enchanting boy.....they say he wondered very far, over land and sea, and then one day, one day he ran away" and the end is about "he wanted to be loved in return, ooooohhhhh to be loved in return". And then it goes off. Was this a Vanity song or something she did for that show? Does anyone remember this episode? I recorded it when it first aired on either Friday or Saturday night in 1989 on ABC channel. These were the best 1 hour creppy stories. Uncle Jack owned that antique shop and Ryan and the girl would have to solve the problem of the episode before the ending. This had nothing to do with Jason from the Friday 13th movies though



And remember Vanity in this Miami Vice (1986) episode. Don Johnson's real wife Melanie Griffith owened a call-girl service, and wouldn't you know it, Vanity was a prostitute, she also gets killed in this show too. I think Captain Lou Albino was in this one? Anyone remember it? At the end, when Melanie and Don are talking it has that Simply Red song "I'll Keep Holding On" playing. Miami Vice rocks!


Do you think Vanity is ashamed/embarassed by these appearances also? They do have her wearing her trade mark tight un-Godly clothes and singing in the first one. I wonder if she "threw" these out too. I cant believe she passed up Purple Rain but would do one like the Friday 13th episode mentioned above! Maybe she knew in Purple Rain she would have to share the spotlight with Prince LOL!! The 80's were so great for movies and TV shows though!

i don't remember her on Miami Vice, but i definitely remember her being on that episode of Friday the 13th. biggrin

and i DO recall that there were posters of Prince up at the record store, like in the front window or on the door, like you said. something tells me they were Purple Rain related, but i'm not 100% sure on that...but they WERE of Prince because i remember chuckling to myself over that. smile

poor ol Vanity. she was pretty much pigeonholed into the Vanityesque, sexpot/slut image in everything in which she appeared.

I woulda Dies to see the MIAMI VICE episode. Sounds Cool. Vanity Doesn't Like That World anymore cause she felt it wasn't Healthy and Too Worldly. But I do Believe if ya Abstain from Party Materials You CAN BE SUCCESSFUL. Not EVERYONE in HOLLYWOOD is an ABUSER/USER...Today Many are HEALTH NUTS. See didn't give her TALENT a CHANCE.... I think she should sing SPIRITUAL/GOSPEL . She was on MOTOWN....

Hi the song is called far away eyes. It was written by Jessy Johnson of The Time. She recorded it for the action jackson soundtrack. I think it is out of print but if you buy the the action jackson movie she sings the whole song. Very nice song.

What about when she appeared on "HBO Presents Tales From The Crypt" around 1990-1991? I think this was about a Voodoo episode or something. Anyone remember that? I think this was her first appearance without all of her "slut gear" on. She was wearing white I do believe, not slutted out at all, very gorgeous as usual.

True, then she did a topless scene. She never really shook the trampy image.

Seems like Vanity did get a lot more airtime then I remembered. Though I do remember the Friday the 13th episode, after you descibed it. I don't remember the name of the movie but it was somekind of futuristic planet nearly destroyed thing, but her role was slightly different.

I remeber the Miami Vice episode. It was called "By Hooker By Crook" and was at the very end of Season 2.

She was also in an episode of "Highlander: The Series" in the early 90's.

Poor Vanity. Seems like she was always playing some vixen type role where she would get the axe in the end.

But do you cats remember her role on "Tale From the Crypt?" (LOL)

In the early 90s,I remember seeing her on one of those cable TV movies,I think it was called "Memories Of Murder"? She played a woman who was stalking a married man,scaring his wife and daughter.In one memorable scene,we hear a taped recording of Vanity repeating this phrase over and over:

"Round and round....see kitty run....when kitty stops...mousie all done!"


lol anyone else remember this film?

btw,I think Vanity is a very good actress.She just needed better roles.In nearly every film that she appears in,they had her playing the same sexpot/airhead character.
