Looking gorgeous here as well. Does anyone know what year the one on the right was? I read a while back that a fan saw her at the airport and took this one, if I'm not mistaken. (On further look scratch that, that does not look like the background of an airport ) Maybe ten or so years ago?? [Edited 1/28/17 11:11am]

Pic on the right was posted late May of 2015 on her Facebook. I believe the caption read "Moi at 56".

Wow She looked great!!

She was truly a beautiful woman and that kind of beauty does not just evaporated. God merely blessed that woman. Imagine that beauty and she was an artist and an evangelist. Her life was an interesting one.

I would like to hear testimonies from people she helped, prayed for etc as an evangelist. I am facinated with that aspect of her life. We rarely hear much about that. I have watched her preaching videos and she never slowed down , always excited about her faith and to share it.

Appolonia and Brenda both were baptized at Denise's funeral. A true monument to how her life touched people even after her death. I have listened to some of her sermons and it has inspired me personally. She was a dynamo, a force.

God-given talent! I wish I knew where her artwork can be seen. I want to put some pictures of her work on my website. Those paintings! That lady had style and good taste. Even those items she was selling on Instagram were quite beautiful. Her cats. I wonder where they are.

Maybe they will display her artwork and do a facebook stream of an artshow of her work because I cannot go out to Cali for it and would love to see it.

Did she sculpt too?

I would like to see her work and wonder if she used an alias when signing her paintings.

What a great idea Vashtix. I would love to see that.

Hope we get to see it; she must have quite a bit of work over the years.

I used to love reading Black Beat, Jet, Fresh, Word Up etc back in the day

Hello all Denise Katerina Matthews fans! Would any of you be interested in participating in a virtual movie night screening of the Last Dragon or Action Jackson in the chat room on February 15th, around 8:00 Eastern standard time, (the day Denise Matthews went home to be with the Lord) to pay tribute to her in celebration of her life? If there is interest, I will start a thread with more details when it's getting closer.

That would be nice. I'm off that night.

Great! What is your vote? Last Dragon or Action Jackson? Interestingly, she is more acclaimed for the classic The Last Dragon, but she actually has more scenes in Action Jackson.

I'm interested! I don't know how it works, though. I haven't used chat rooms in ages! Gonna need a little help on how to do this. Thanks

Wonderful! I've been to quite a few viewings of all the Prince movies and it's really a fun time. Obviously you have to have the movie. If anyone doesn't have it, it's easy to get from Amazon in various formats and we have ample time to do so before February 15th. We all hit play at the same time, watch it together and talk about what a great actress Vanity was or whatever floats our boat, and ask and answer questions. (a glass of wine is encouraged, Okay popcorn too) I actually found something I wanted to share with you guys but I think I'll wait to share it with you guys there! By the way, The chat room is different than here. It's talking in real time to each other. I will start a thread about the movie night in the beginning of February. [Edited 1/29/17 19:12pm]

If I am available I am in! Thanks luvgirl. Hope I do not get too emotional. You guys know Ms. Matthews inspires me. Great woman of God.

Oh, cool! I've done something similar with a guy I dated that was in my home state. We'd call each other and we'd both play the same movie at the same time. Even watched a horror movie lol. Ok, I do have Last Dragon and Action Jackson (her other movies, too) but prefer Action Jackson. And there's something I'd like to let you all know in chat, too (something I've been up to regarding Denise)! I also have a non-movie related question that I'd rather ask in chat. So, I'll save the question for then. I'm a photographer, so if I don't have a few Valentine projects to complete, I will most certainly be a part of the chat. Oh, and, no wine for me

I might able to do this! I don't think I've seen Action Jackson, so my vote is for that one. Actually, Never Too Young to Die is my favorite of the movies Vanity's been in, that I have seen so far. Its one of the cheesiest 80s movie ever but so HILARIOUS!

Did Vanity major in Art at High school or go 2 Art College? I really like her Artworks. Very bold & expressive.

I hope you'll be able to make it Vash. And it's okay if you get emotional, no judgement there. She was an inspiration to us all as Vanity and as Denise Matthews. I'll also put up a link to one of her sermons in case anyone wants to watch it privately after the show, or even together for those of us who stick around. Btw, what is your vote? Action Jackson or The Last Dragon? [Edited 1/30/17 5:39am]

The Last Dragon is more fun & a feelgood movie.

What is your favourite TV role of Vanitys'? Mine is Friday 13th closely followed by Highlander.

I didn't know she guest starred on that show. Gotta look that one up.
