I just ran across this segment of the Arsenio Hall Show when Vanity was his guest. It was a very, very interesting interview. She was spilling all kinds of tea, including her engagement to Nikki Sixx. She joked that she would be "Vanity Six" again. He asked her about the time Eddie Murphy bailed her out when she was arrested for an unpaid parking/traffic ticket. This is the only interview that I have seen with her during her Vanity days in which there was no mention of Prince. Also, her sister Patricia, who was in the audience, joined her on the couch.

One of the most beautiful women I have ever seen.

Agree. Did either of you read her book? I would love to but it is out of print.

No, I have not read it and did not know it was out of print.

I admired her courage and conviction and her cheekbones.

She seemed very happy during the interview with Arsenio. She looked gorgeous and her dress was lovely. She told an interesting story of buying it at some small shop and having it "taken in." Her sister Patricia was also very beautiful. At one time, she reportedly dated Eddie Murphy.

This is the Joan Rivers show not Arsenio's show.

??????? Vanity's appearance on the Arsenio Hall show is linked in the OP.

Right. This is Vanity on Arsenio Hall in 1986. Vanity also appeared on Joan River's show several times - both during her time as Vanity, and during her evangelical period as Denise.

She was beautiful no doubt, but she was also heavily addicted to cocaine when she did this show, so it's sad as well. Nikki Sixx details this time with her in his book The Heroin Diaries.

I think she actually seemed more lucid in this appearance than most during this time in her life.

The older I get, the more I appreciate her bravery and conviction. She came from such a troubled home. Good girl!

Yes, this one was better than some of the others. I agree, she clearly was a tough cookie, and escaped from some dark and dangerous places in the 80's. Not many can survive and overcome that level of addiction. Most don't make it. Some think her evangelism was trading one "addiction" for another (religion), but regardless, the latter was what saved her life and put her in a more positive environment, so it was a good thing for her.

LOVE TO SEE THE VIDEO OF HER NIPPLE GETTING BIT...

Denise sold her book privately. Which she discounted not long before she passed away for her fans.

Her book was written long after this interview with Arsenio, which is the subject of the OP. Speaking of the interview, does anyone know if there was another segment to this appearance? It doesn't seem like the end of this video is the end of her visit. If there is more, I'd love to see it.

No it wasn't not that I recall. But it is on Ebay now for a small fortune. Unfortunately, the arrangement I made with her didn't pan out & I will forever regret it. She was VERY upset with me about it. But I'm glad I was able to do what I did for her. I loved her dearly and still feel she was the most beautiful woman I ever seen.

R.I.P.

Denise's book was publicly for sale when it was first written, and then later marketed for sale again for, I believe around $200-250 in an attempt to help her pay for medical expenses.

Here are Denise's comments about the re-publishing of her book:

Here is the link to Denise's web page that she created in 2008 to sell copies of her book. The book was priced at $60.00 during this time.

Thank you. It is a longer video, but it just has the same footage, repeated in a loop.

I was shaking my head watching that video because Arsenio didn't know Patricia's name. I had to look when this interview happened because she was in a seen in Coming to America with Arsenio (and Eddie Murphy), but it turns out, the movie was later.

Patricia was very beautiful herself. Although she didn't come close to her sister Denise beauty who was just DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! Pat could have had just as a successful career as her sister. I wonder what happened? I also wonder why Eddie didn't date Denise? EVERY MAN that was in her presence was just puddy in her hands. She was irresistible. Which is why Prince wrote "Irresistible Bitch" about her.
