Apollonia did okay in the film,but it was like she was just "filling" in for the real thing.Her entire look and image was inspired by Vanity.I think Vanity would have been amazing in this film! She and Prince definitely had a stronger chemistry.

i have to disagree with u on that one. i've seen films that had vanity in them and i must say, apollonia "saved" purple rain (acting-ability wise) vanity's acting skills would've been dull. according to me anyway.

I am with you on this one. Action Jackson or the Last Dragon prove that she did us all a favor. I doubt Purple Rain would have been as big with Vanity in it and this site might not exist. Granted both are eye candy and Appolonia will NEVER see an oscar either. But Apples (as with many others on here) welcomed me into manhood nod

I think this was about the time that Susannah came into the picture...not to mention Vanity's love of crack cocaine!


Also,I heard that Vanity was sleeping with the director,Al Magnoli eek Perhaps Prince found out about this and fired her?

eek eek eek Vanity got around from all the 'reports' wow. thank goodness she found Jesus.

How many movies did Apollonia star in after 'Purple Rain'? I rest my case lol

Vanity,on the other hand,was in numerous films.She even starred in a Lifetime TV movie in 1990 ("Memories Of Murder").She was getting numerous movie offers throughout the 80s.No,I'm not saying that was the next Elizabeth Taylor (lol),but she's proven to be a decent actress.The same cannot be said of Apollonia.
