    Patricia Apollonia Kotero was basically playing Denise "Vanity" Matthews in Purple Rain. Patricia Kotero was actually married to Greg Patschull. In that time period Prince was actually dating Jill Jones, and Susannah Melvoin, Playboy Playmate Devin DeVasquez and Sheila Escovedo, but not all of them together on the same night (I don't think)

    Okay first of all, for all you people who keep saying she was married at the time she auditioned for Prince, your really wrong. If you watch the video on the OWN show she simply says she was dating David Lee Roth. Yes the broke up during this time to make it seem like her and Prince was actually dating. So let's just get that straight. P.S Vanity was pretty and all but that doesn't mean Apollonia was not prettier than her because they actually look the same in a way. #Team Apollonia and Vanity and Rest In Paradise Prince

    • @neitajames6029
      @neitajames6029 Před 4 lety +1

      Yes she was dating, not married. She was honest the whole time saying her and prince was just friends their relationship was professional. Remember she was chosen for this role no matter how pretty she was if she couldn't act she would not have been chosen.prince liked being surrounded by beautiful women.if you were a man would you blame him being friends dont mean he was dating them..you have separate business from pleasure otherwise when its over it get ugly..n.a.JJ.

    • @JP-ve7or
      @JP-ve7or Před 8 měsíci

      To this day she doesn't talk about her marriage much. I don't know the specifics of it except it ended painfully, but yes, she was married when she auditioned for Purple Rain. She had said it herself. It's on her Wikipedia page. On a recent podcast she told a story about how her husband used to get mad at her because all these dudes kept telling him she'd had sex with them. Then she found out Vanity was going around telling guys she was Apollonia! I don't know if it's a true story, but the point is that Apollonia told it; she had a husband at the time.

      I’ve never seen Vanity carry herself any less “well spoken” than Apples. Further I’ve never seen Vanity “on the drugs” in any interview. She did many more interviews than Appolonia and carried herself well in all the interviews I’ve seen. Sadly drugs did almost destroy her. But that doesn’t mean she’s any less of a person.

      On the first day of filming, she said they skidded on some slush on the purple bike and they fell over. The bike landed on her leg and a bit of her pants actually burned and melted. She tried to get up and go on with filming but she was dripping blood everywhere so they stopped for the day. Different times, man.
