To be totally honest, I expected to this thread to get locked and be sent to an old thread where this was already discussed. Its hard for me to imagine that no one else has asked this question.

Who is that actress? I've seen her but don't know her names or movies. yes

Beautiful, Loved and Blessed

Thank You Prince

It wasn't until a year or two a go that I realized that woman on the ATWIAD cover was Clara Bow(Condition of the Heart)

The Purple Rain description of Jill 4 the movie

samwanda:allthroughthenightb:Edie Adams. as Daisy Mae in L’il Abner….  ♥ ♥ ♥:

(18) INT. CLUB -- UPPER BAR AREA -- NIGHT

She's 18 years old, blonde and pretty in
a cute, innocent way. A Daisy Mae-type
whose emotions form so quickly, she has
trouble sorting them out.

Yep, he had a few of her around. I wish that room was kept and used in Paisley Park. I would love to wander around that space and explore. I bet even in there, there were some tapes with unreleased music on it. I still want that backward piece he played in the movie to add to my PR playlist lol

Thanks OldFriends I had been wondering for years. I even considered that it might have been Gayle Chapman. I'm curious though, what made you realise it was Clara Bow? Did the penny drop whilst you were listening to Condition of the Heart? Is the PR face definetely her for sure?

I'm not 100% sure just yet. I'm still doing more research
But that face is one of a few similar type face that I posted from the Kids bedroom
And all of them were 1940 starletts. This one is closest to Clara Bow who then went on to be used on the ATWIAD cover. Those sleepy eyes, the way her eyes droop are very similar in the shape and structure to the image of this face.

Yes, it's very close. The only reserve I've got is that the image is showing her eyes as blue but it seems like Clara's eyes were brown. The other thing is the face on the image looks really familiar but I just can't remember who exactely it reminds me of. I wonder if it could be a combination of faces, to achieve that sort of "deja-vu" effect...

Hi all! Interesting question and interesting parallel with the 3eg face.

So I looked at the PR face. And I see Sheena Easton...

I am sure that this has been posted before but I was hoping someone would bring this up again. Does anyone know whos face that was used for the Purple Rain album sleeve, on the wall in the When Doves Cry video and on Prince's wall in the movie. Is that someone we know and love?



Vanity.

It is Vanity; I did not know it until the other day and was floored. She really was his muse.


R.I.P. Denise





She definitely was

Hell it could be Brenda lol


Does she have blue eyes? Lol
So who is this from 3rd eye girl then? A made up face most likely.


[Edited 7/7/16 18:14pm]

Has to be Rosanna Arquette from the Pulp Fiction era. Without "all the shit in her face."

Hi

Ava Gardner in the black dress. She used to be married to Frank Sinatra
A very beautiful actress. She had blue eyes so I thought it could be her.

Woops looks like she had green eyes.
