From Purple Rain to Reality TV
Apollonia Kotero, known for her iconic role in Prince's film Purple Rain, continues to stun fans with her age-defying looks at 63. The former model, singer, actress, and businesswoman recently shared a photo on Instagram in a stunning dress, paying tribute to her most famous role.
A Star-Studded Career
Apollonia rose to fame in the 80s and not only starred in Purple Rain but also co-wrote the hit song "Manic Monday" with Prince. Her career took an unexpected turn when she dated Van Halen's David Lee Roth, causing a rift with Prince, who wanted to keep her out of the public eye until after the film's release.
Reality TV and Entrepreneurship
After her entertainment career slowed down in the mid-90s, Apollonia found a new spotlight on reality TV shows like MTV's Cribs. In 2005, she founded Kotero Entertainment, showcasing her continued presence in the industry by mingling with stars like Mike Tyson and Lenny Kravitz on social media.
