Vanity does appear in Purple Rain!

Let me start by saying that I tried to find this topic on the org, but wasn't successful, so please excuse me if you've discussed this before.

When Prince returns to the stage after performing Purple Rain, he stops to look down corridor where Appolonia is waiting for him, right next to her is Vanity, wearing a beaded headpiece/hat.
Anyone confirms this? I thought it was so fantastic!

Thanks!

Wait there.. I actually have a still of that exact scene.. I will zoom in to the girl with the beaded hat

hmmm After studying it for 40 mins I have yet 2 come 2 a conclusion on whether or not its Vanity. I shall put a known pic of Vanity and this still from PR through an advanced facial recognition scan neutral

Wow! Thanks for doing this. Yes, this is the woman to whom I refer. I think it struck me more when he first looks down the hallway, a few frames before this. Anyway, i guess it's me doing that "Alfred Hitchcock appearance" thing- searching for those unnoticed things in a movie.

Oh, come on. Do you really believe that Vanity would dump out of the female lead, only to come back as an extra? lol

Vanity was majorily coked out during that time, there is no way she could even stand let alone BE in a movie.

Being coked out never stopped her from making movies and albums and promoting them on talk shows.

Naw she wasn't that bad yet.

Now Morris was, but he still nailed his role

Vanity did 2 movies and a few albums before she was burned out

That's not Vanity. Her name is Chick Standing Next To Apollonia. It's in the credits of the film. lol

When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

Agreed. The majority of the people said she was not only fighting a lot w/ Prince, but also just flat out lazy when it came to working. They were all going through dance lessons, acting lessons, etc, at the beginning of the production. (I didn't realize that even Monte Moir from The Time was still in the band long enough to be part of it all the first few days before he left the group.) It was later that Vanity got into the drugs really, really bad. It's sad watching Action Jackson because of the whole drug part to it. It was a bit too close to home, I would imagine. Creeps me out seeing it, knowing she was probably that way in real life to some extent.

Vanity did appear in the movie though, right? During the "When Doves Cry" montage I thought that was her in the close-up during the barn make-out scene. Or maybe that was just in the WDC video...
