Why Prince Once Went on a Blind Date with a Fan brightcove. Watch Trash Online Mic. Experiences(); Prince, iconic singer- songwriter and seven- time Grammy winner, has died at the age of 5.

In 1. 98. 6, to celebrate the release of his movie Under the Cherry Moon, Prince agreed to go on a blind date with a radio contest winner. PEOPLE caught up with the lucky fan to discuss her night out with the music icon. Read the cover story below: First you win a contest, and then you win friends. That’s how it happened for Lisa Barber, 2. Sheridan, Wyo. motel chambermaid who last month dialed an MTV contest number and, by being the 1.

Prince and the opportunity to have his much- hyped new movie, Under the Cherry Moon, premiered in her hometown. Barber, a veteran contest entrant who had never won more than ”a couple of Big Macs and a curling iron,” was ecstatic.

So were her friends, many of whom she had never met. Moments after her name was announced, callers from California to the Carolinas began ringing up to ask for one or two or 1. Prince’s frontier fandango. Her mother, Elena Holwegner, fielded the endless requests with humor, if not compromise.

Basically, he’s an easy- going guy.” Says Lisa Coleman, keyboardist with Prince’s band, the Revolution, ”He’s so consumed by what he’s doing that sometimes he has not noticed what is happening to his public image. He realizes it now.” The other reason Prince is courting publicity is that as Cherry Moon goes, so may go his movie career. If Moon succeeds, he’ll be seen as a screen phenomenon; if it fails, his first movie, the $8. Purple Rain, may be seen as a fluke. Adding to the tension is the fact that the new film, a black- and- white fantasy romance set in the South of France, is pure Prince: He stars in the movie, conceived the plot, handpicked the cast and took over for the original director, Mary Lambert, after she left because of ”artistic differences.” He also reportedly refused Warner Bros.’ entreaties to inject conflict into the script, saying that atmosphere and music would keep the audience entertained.
