They were in a serious relationship from '91/'92 - '95/'96. They lived together in LA for a couple of years as well. If you Google their names together there are a bunch of pics of them attending events (film premieres, Golden Globes) from '91-'96.

That's Susannah with John Cusack. Were they lovers or friends?

I didn't know they dated until you mentioned it on another thread. They seemed to have been pretty serious. Did Susannah ever talk about him?

I believe they may have been engaged at some point too, but not 100% sure on that. When Susannah was interviewed in 2013 by Kristi Dyes for her Beautiful Nights Blog - where she starts a sentence for the subject to finish - she listed "John Cusack is..." and Susannah answered "very funny and smart".

Nice! I read the interview but at the time wasn't aware of their relationship so that question seemed random to me. I guess Susannah never officially confirmed the relationship.

I think it was pretty well known back when she was with him. She attended all of the Hollywood functions with him. I think he just was not in the gossip mags, so the general public may not have been aware. Also, most of the more casual Prince fans didn't know about her because she was not in the spotlight with him.

Oh ok, I wasn't following Prince then so I wasn't aware of Susannah. That's true. I didn't really become aware of her until I read DMSR The First Decade. Then I became curious about her relationship with Prince and the music that she inspired.

Here they are at the Premiere of his movie The Grifters, January 1991. I think this may have been the start of their serious relationship.

This is a pic of them at his City Hall premiere in 1996, but I think the relationship was done by then - or they may have been "off and on" during the '95-'96 time frame:

There is an old thread from around 2006 where a member was asking about the relationship, because he saw Jack Black on a talk show discussing when he filmed High Fidelity with John Cusack. He mentioned Susannah - I guess they were talking about relationships - and he said, about Susannah and John - she wanted someone she could eat cheese with again. I don't think Prince ate cheese Too Funny!!

I think I recall reading that Prince had that movie 'Someone To Eat Cheese With' in his collection. They looked nice together and I think the blonde was very becoming to Susannah too.

Yes, she wore the short blonde 'do very well. It's amazing that John Cusack has been able to stay out of the tabloids, because he's dated a LOT of women!!

Fun Fact: In the film High Fidelity (one of my favs) you can see Prince's album ATWIAD displayed prominently during the first main scene at the record store - when John's character Rob is talking to Dick and Barry (Jack Black's character). I never noticed that until I recently watched the movie again because HBO has been playing it.

Yes,she looks beautiful. With the exception of the occasional article,I didn't hear too much about him you're right. That's cool about the ATWIAD album being shown. I have never seen that movie.

I highly recommend it! Great film based on the Nick Hornsby best selling book. Romantic comedy. It was Jack Black's breakout role - he steals the film comedically. Great cast - Lisa Bonet, Tim Robbins, Catherine Zeta Jones. Funny with great music.

I watched the trailer earlier and I thought I saw Lisa Bonet. I'll check it out! Thanks!
