  • Canadian singer, songwriter, dancer, model, and actress Denise Katrina Matthews, professionally known as Vanity was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario on January 4, 1959. She was always interested in pursuing a career in singing and acting however, she was constantly discouraged to do so by those around her. That is until Prince came along. He asked her to be the lead singer of a girl group he was putting together named Vanity 6.

      Actually, her religious beliefs were a continuation of her suffering from mental health issues. She was sexually and physically abused as a child, abused drugs, had volatile relationships with men, married an eventual murderer 1 month after she met them, believed that she saw and spoke to Jesus, claimed that she was possessed by demons, and claimed that she had psychic powers. She was set up to be a very unhappy person because of how she was abused as a child. And sadly, she spent her whole short life chasing after happiness and peace but never found it.

It's hard to leave worldly things behind to pursue the Lord but I know it can be done cause hes shown me how much hes loves me even thru all my faults and mess ups. Denise is such an inspiration. May she rest in heavenly peace. ❤

      I can understand that sentiment, but that’s not how a true Christ-led life works. When you surrender to Him, you surrender all and He wipes your slate clean. When she decided to dedicate her life to Christ’s mission, she did so with the understanding that He would provide her with the means necessary to live and further His ministry. You cannot use the tainted fruit of a bad tree for good. 💙

      I can see why Denise Matthews didn't want to have Vanity attached to her anymore. Because as the years went on, that specific energy of her past would be on her conscious. She decided to let her past self be where it was...in the past.

I didn't recognize her at first, but then we started talking about Jesus and how she was a born again Christian. She introduced herself as Denise, and then the more I looked at her I blurted out "Action Jackson!". She laughed and said yes that was her. I was in shock because I was in love with her growing up. I really liked her in The Last Dragon. Rest in Peace Denise, I will always remember our exchange.

When I was introduced to her, I was starstruck. I remember her being so kind. She looked at me smiling, and opened up her arms to signal a hug. You could feel the genuine love and kindness that exuded from her. She was even more beautiful in person, than any movie I would ever see her in. Her spirit was absolutely radiant and that matches with her physical beauty, was something I will never forget. It broke my heart to hear when she passed 💗
