apolloniaRemember Apollonia from the group Apollonia 6 that starred in Purple Rain? She played Prince’s a.k.a. “The Kid’s” love interest in the movie, but she ultimately became the object of Prince’s and Morris Day’s characters’ jealousy and competition.

Is it just us, or is the first thing you think about when you think of Apollonia is Prince telling her she had to “Purify herself in Lake Minnetonka?” LOL.

Check out what she’s been up to lately…
