Key Gen ... she's a lot older now but she just did an interview not too long ago on DJ Vlad and you might want to watch it ... was actually pretty good
Ive read interviews with her recently....she is actually an intelligent woman who can think for herself and remembers the days of Purple Rain like a photo album. Smart cookie. Makes my teenage crush on her even stronger :)
Man she is so chill! Down to earth and of course beautiful as all get-out! I like her personality she did not seem to be all full of herself and that goes a long way.
Thank you letting us get to know you, Apollonia....You are a beautiful person and loving toward Prince in his life...So, I thank you and love you for that too. I know you are in deep grief ...My heart is with you. We are all a mess of pain and disbelief. Sorrow and missing him. Will forever!! LOVE TO YOU!!

+utubegirl in all fairness I wasn't the one who made the original comment. but you really don't think Prince's influence helped them a great deal? they may have had some talent but nowhere near Prince
utubegirl if you look at it ALL of the people Prince surrounded himself with- band members, associates , his " ladies" had the " it " look or talent; Prince helped them show case it faster..
I just have to take this opportunity to say thank you as one of the oldest members of Generation X (born 1965).I'm fairly well read,and you are the first one to say ANYTHING complimentary about us that I've come across (we're still somewhat in the shadow of the baby boomers,sometimes they claim us '65-ers as one of them lol!)
as a young kid i've seen my life change one day and go purple all of a sudden and I was in luv with Prince's music and this beautiful applewoman ^^ and it goes w/ saying the album by the whole group was a ball too!
Not as cute as Vanity, but still pretty. She was not dating Prince, she was actually married at the time to someone else, but because of the movie they wanted people to think they were together.
When I was in High School I once had a big crush on her. Apollonia was one of the real actors/actresses in the movie Purple Rain. The other real actor was of course Mr. Clarence Williams the 3rd. (Mod Squad) T.V. show veteran actor.
David letterman used to insult his female guest many refused to come back. Yes he was a ,a.h. cocky man. I only watched if someone interesting was on he just liked putting females down seemed he tried to belittle them.as if he was better than everybody else. Here he was trying make her out to be something she wasn't she said they were friends, her and prince but their relationship was professional, yet Mr letterman refused to accept that he wanted her tell the dirty side when there wasn't one apollonia was engaged or in a relationship when purple rain was done...n.a.JJ.
@ALWAYS BET ON BLACK his dirt? David was the king of late night and his attitude made it the hottest show on TV for years. His attitude was what people loved.
She and Vanity looked so much alike, but Vanity won this battle hands down...That boi Prince definitely knew how to pick his women...Rest easy to Prince & Vanity. ...
So amazing 40 yrs later (and my dream girl to say the least when I was 16 and w Lake Minetonka etc) she still looks amazing, level headed and hey her teeth better than ever! Go Paul!
+wattamutt Yeah, I'm just suggesting that Prince might not have been available for any television interviews in 1984, so it might have been impossible to book him.
+wattamutt Keep in mind that all questions were prepared and approved during every guest's pre-interview before the show. Had she not wanted to have that topic addressed, Dave wouldn't have asked her about it.
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)
Apollonia and Vanity were both as beautiful as each other in different ways. I'm not going to be childish and start comparing. I'm sure Prince would be annoyed seeing such silly comments.
Not a single question to her about the actual music on her album. Just questions about Prince, their relationship, his phone line, her calendar photo, double-entendres, and what she wears. 🙄
What do you think prompted them to switch the chairs to Dave's left? It looks so alien. Also, the backdrop behind Paul is different as well. Was this possibly a temporary studio?
I REALLY MISS LETTERMAN LATE SHOW! ICON AND HAD GOOD GUEST AND I WAS A KID STAYING UP LATE WATCHING THIS LOL!!!!!!!!!! THANKS DAVE...LOVE U MAN! SIMPLER TIMES FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!
She is a stunning beauty but her career much like Morris Day's kind of fizzled out after the film was released. Love Paul"s comeback "Or if you wanna be business partners''
Apollonia, just remember........All the critics love U in new york. ; - ) she is actually very well spoken. compared to Vanity interviews you can clearly see who was on the drugs and who wasnt. RIP Vanity and Prince, God rest the dead.
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.
@@pandora-is-here I think u took my words a bit out of context. I wasnt saying that Vanity didnt carry herself well. Not at all. But was she high alot in interviews? Yep. Lol and they're out here too. 700 Club one alone is memorable. If Apollonia was high in any interviews...she hid it well.
@@mrsain19 Actually I agree with you and had the same thought. Appollonia is very well-spoken, witty and charismatic. Vanity less so, her interviews are more dry, she blurts things out. But it's clearly the drugs. She is visibly high in nearly all of her interviews.
@@mrsain19 It's 2023 You're comment is weird. The 80s were all about the drugs‼️ So don't be self righteous. Rehabs made no more money than the IRS. Apollonia was cool, but Vanity was a special person because she transformed from Party Girl to Dynamic Woman. Apollonia is a past-time character.
Atl Walton dang you loved her like that seem you found your one true love why didn’t ya get married and live happily ever after since you loved and adored her so much well i I wouldn’t know about ya kind of love I never got to be with my true love only substitutes
Tony D you’re out of your mind. Both were very beautiful but vanity was about flawless. From her complexion, bone structure to every feature. Perfect 👌
Bruce Lee that was decent of her I wouldn’t want to be known associated With negative media press either she’s the only prince x who had sense and decency
And she was dating actually David Lee Roth at this time. Prince didn't want her seen with him, or anyone famous, until the movie came out because Prince wanted to be the one to "discover" her.
I say theres no comparison to the FIRST but prince enjoyed all the beautiful women in his life and they all enjoyed being with prince as well they both got fortification during the time of their relationship I know and all the women Who’s ever been in a relationship with prince knows how lucky they where
i been watching interviews of the hottest ppl of their time; amazing to watch. you better live your best life, periodt. thats what i get from this, also make sure you watch interviews of them in their prime and to this date or recent years. I LOVEEEEE IT. watching the evolution of IT ALL.... blessing to you all.., there's lessons in these
Vanity was the complete package. This girl is just cute. She seemed nice though. She has no sex appeal, in my opinion, and can't dress. Even her entrance when she walked in was far from sexy or hot, actually goofy. Vanity just had a gift. This woman looks like any ordinary Jlo, Selena, and the list goes on and on, but Vanity was in a class by herself.
Are you serious? You saying Vanity didn't have Personality?! But the Women in Prince life that knew her and knew of her spoke very good about her. Funny how out of all the women in Prince life ...Vanity is the One these Women spoke on. Oh and they knew she was the Princess of them all . She was the hole in Prince heart none of them could fill.
Dedric There You're kidding right?...Did you say "personality????"....Have you ever seen Vanity in any interviews or in any of her performances on stage?....That girl had a big personality.....And her stage presence and interaction with the audience was amazing..And she knew how to work the crowd...While Apollonia just seems boring as hell...No energy!....Vanity on the other hand is very engaging and bubbly and high-spirited in every single interview.....(All that and I said nothing about Vanity being absolutely drop-dead gorgeous and hotttttt!)
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
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.
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.
She look better in the movie. Makeup does wonders. Now I see how she really looked. She not even close to Vanity beauty. She look plain kinda guyish. Vanity Beautiful without makeup. Beautiful ,Every interview I've seen Vanity in.
They almost killed her filming the movie by forcing her to do multiple takes of the scene when she had to go into the lake to purify herself. It was extremely cold and she almost died from hypothermia. It is mind boggling that nobody had enough sense to NOT send a person into freezing waters over and over again.
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.
She was absolutely gorgeous but I had no idea she had such an incredible personality. She is such a natural.
All girls from Prince are gorgeous . He had good taste!
Watch her podcast APPOLONIA STUDIO 6 on YT now!! She is charming still!
@@MsElke11 Thank you, I will.

As of 6/13/21 94 souls need cleaning in the lake...

One of the finest things to ever walk the face of the earth !!
She is very alluring, but still a lady, has dignity. Her giggle is so cute.

She was definitely my teenage crush that year
Seems like a nice girl, but not so very attractive otherwise.
She's adorable .
I love Appollonia, she's amazing.

Apollinia is attractive..sorry but vanity may she rest in peace in the Lord ..vanity was beautiful just stunning ..
Dorothy Wilder omg! 💯💯💯💯💯🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽. Vanity was the most beautiful woman ever
Plus Prince tried to make her dress and act like Vanity which made her bask in second place. Vanity was the Queen 👑.
I agree. Possibly she was the most beautiful in all the world.
She was no Denise Richards, Vanity. She may be one of the most beautiful ever to have graced us. Apallonia can't light a candle next to her.
@@carmenceciliaalvarezfreema6153 Denise matthews is vanity's real name
Man she is so chill! Down to earth and of course beautiful as all get-out! I like her personality she did not seem to be all full of herself and that goes a long way.

Love her!! She seem to keep it real with Prince. I would say she was a great person to Prince.💜💜💜💜💜💜
Kim Gomes , in an interview she did on DJ Vlad not too long ago I get the impression she was a better friend to Prince than he was to her .
You Maybe right, she was still in his corner to the end! She never completed about there friendship....

1984 WAS AN AMAZING YEAR!!
I bet it was. I was born at the end of 1983!! 🤘🏾🔥
I agree... I believe it was MJs Thriller, Madonna's debut, and Purple Rain!
loved 1984....to me it was the most 80ish year of the 80s...over the top in the best way

First Apollonia I ever heard of was the Greek girl that Michael Married in The Godfather.
Was just watching that movie the other day, love when they're walking by the country side of Palermo.

Yeah I remember that too. Michael's first wife.
Yeah I remember that too. Michael's first wife.

I think the first Gen X's were born in 1962.

KINDA SAD!
as the song lyrics say "...damn girl...I'm trying to describe this girl without being disrespectful..."...she's so beautiful to many...

Not as cute as Vanity, but still pretty. She was not dating Prince, she was actually married at the time to someone else, but because of the movie they wanted people to think they were together.
She was divorced and dated David Lee Roth.

Great information, i didn't know this...Learn something new everyday. ...
@Candy Star very true. She looks great NOW
@Candy Star I say to you "educate don't HATE"! Makes a back in the day Jamie Starr fan proud to know that people like you exist! Don't ever change!
For me, to this day, there aren't many women that can hold a candle to Apollonia. One of the most beautiful women on the face of this planet!!!!!
Vanity could. Denise matthews was prettier.
When I was in High School I once had a big crush on her. Apollonia was one of the real actors/actresses in the movie Purple Rain. The other real actor was of course Mr. Clarence Williams the 3rd. (Mod Squad) T.V. show veteran actor.
Clarence Williams III was the man! Rest In Power.

Not a single question to her about the actual music on her album. Just questions about Prince, their relationship, his phone line, her calendar photo, double-entendres, and what she wears. 🙄
I noticed that. Those were different times. I think most interviewers would be more mindful about stuff like that these days.
She mentioned in a interview somewhere Prince designed her clothing.

Funny how out of all the women in Prince life ...Vanity is the One these Women spoke on. Oh and they knew she was the Princess of them all . She was the hole in Prince heart none of them could fill.
Dedric There You're kidding right?...Did you say "personality????"....Have you ever seen Vanity in any interviews or in any of her performances on stage?....That girl had a big personality.....And her stage presence and interaction with the audience was amazing..And she knew how to work the crowd...While Apollonia just seems boring as hell...No energy!....Vanity on the other hand is very engaging and bubbly and high-spirited in every single interview.....(All that and I said nothing about Vanity being absolutely drop-dead gorgeous and hotttttt!)
@@kdpeters06Your comment on Vanity is perfect.
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
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.
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.
Apollonia looks so much better these days. I saw her interviewed on Vlad channel recently she seems to be doing well.
Lovely woman
She look better in the movie. Makeup does wonders. Now I see how she really looked. She not even close to Vanity beauty. She look plain kinda guyish. Vanity Beautiful without makeup. Beautiful ,Every interview I've seen Vanity in.
She’s great ✨🦋💫
Appollonia you are a beautiful woman sweetheart ❤️ I love 💋 you cute lady
She was so beautiful
She's pretty but Vanity was BEAUTIFUL....
Absolutely stunning...that Lake Minnetonka scene...
She is a goddess I used to have a barbie that looked just like her.
They almost killed her filming the movie by forcing her to do multiple takes of the scene when she had to go into the lake to purify herself. It was extremely cold and she almost died from hypothermia. It is mind boggling that nobody had enough sense to NOT send a person into freezing waters over and over again.
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.
