I think Carmen was a better actress than performer IMO, bless her

He took a chance on her... and paid the price

Not her fault though, it was Prince's absurd idea to make her a rapper.

Carmen Electra on Meeting Prince
05/27
Link


Prince helped Carmen Electra launch her Hollywood career and the duo even briefly dated in the early '90s, but when they first met, it wasn't instant sparks.

"That first time I met Prince, he was very quiet," she tells LaPalme's summer issue, for which she was styled by creative director Derek Warburton. "I was very shy, so there was this awkward moment of us just kind of standing in front of each other."

Eventually, the late legend "broke the ice by asking me if I wanted to play pool, and I was so horrible that he just kept laughing at me," she recalls.

Prince also gave Electra – born Tara Leigh Patrick – her stage name when they went into the studio together.

"I reminded him that my name was Tara. He told me, 'You look like a Carmen, so to me, you're Carmen," she says. "He was so mysterious, but one of the wittiest people I've ever met. He was simply one of a kind."

According to Electra, her mentor touched those in his life with "his beautiful spirit and his powerful music," and left a lasting impact on her.

"As an artist and as a person, Prince was so extraordinarily generous," she says. "It was very generous for him to give me a chance to start a music career, and I'll always be grateful that he believed in me and took a chance on me. We're all devastated, and it didn't seem like it was his right time to go."

Prince was evovled. He also had a brain in his dick. Too bad he didn't have any children as this genetic trait will perish with him. But, seriously, how could anyone really believe Carmen Electra was going to be a musical success? Did Prince blow the 1.8 or did WB?

Carmen recently posted this pic. Said it was her first photo shoot at Paisley Park (and that it was for D&P).
