Why wasn't Apolonia a bigger star
She was the best "actor" in the movie. The others brought their personality, but she brought acting chops.
I thought after the movie she would zoom to the top....maybe she didn't want the stardom?

Totally disagree (and BTW, she was an actress and not an actor).
Although she was exotically gorgeous, which was primarily why she was cast in this leading lady role, she was far from a talented actress. She didn't have much personality and couldn't emote lines very well ("And you ...what do YOU dream about?)
However, she was able to parlay her instant stardom with work on the 80s' hit TV series "Falcon Crest" where she had a recurring role. And I guess after the show's demise, her "acting" career did as well.
She was a poor man's Vanity, and even the real Vanity never had a huge film career.

She looked way, WAY better than Vanity!
shareShe had serious drug issues as I recall

I could be wrong, but I could swear it was her I saw in the clip.

This is Appolonia, who was in Purple Rain: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0467664/?ref_=nv_sr_1
This is Vanity, who left the production to move to LA and subsequently became a drug addict:http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0889152/?ref_=nv_sr_1
I don't remember anything about Appolonia being a drug addict.
She was ok in the movie but I couldn't see her going on to be an A-list actress not even B-list.
shareI believe vanity started having drug issues whn she started hanging out w nikki sixx from motley crue who was a well known herion addict...
shareOn the contrary i think she was the worst out of the leads.

Clarence Williams III was in the movie and you pick freaking Apolonia Kotero as the BEST THESPIAN?! I guess you mean “thespian with big boobs.”
