Denise Katrina Matthews (Jan. 4, 1959 - Feb. 15, 2016) was a Canadian singer and actress better known as [[StageNames Vanity]]. Starting out as a model, she acted in a couple of low-budget films as "D.D. Winters" before a fateful meeting with {{Music/Prince}} in early 1982. He invited her to front a GirlGroup he was putting together called the Hookers, and tried to give her the stage name Vagina (pronounced va-GEE-na). When she objected, he called her Vanity instead -- because she looked so much like himself -- and renamed the band Vanity 6.
Vanity 6 made one album -- or more accurately, Prince made the album and the ladies sang on it. Songs such as "Nasty Girl" got some play on R&B stations and dance clubs, and Vanity and Prince had a public romance. The following year, however, they broke up and Vanity quit the band, sacrificing a lead role in ''Film/PurpleRain'' in the process. She went on to play the female lead in several other movies such as ''Film/TheLastDragon'' and ''Film/ActionJackson'' and became a frequent TV guest star while releasing two solo albums, and also got engaged to Nikki Sixx of Music/MotleyCrue.

*IAmNotSpock: Her Vanity persona was more a creation of Prince than it was an expression of herself, and when she converted to Christianity she did a complete 180 from it. But of course, since that's what she was known for she continued to be Vanity in the minds of the general public.
