Brenda Bennett

Brenda Bennett is a singer from Boston, Massachusetts, USA that married Prince's set-designer Roy Bennett, and then became Prince's "wardrobe mistress". Prince gave her a "tough-girl, cigarette-smoking" persona and enlisted her in a girlgroup that he was attempting to create, Vanity 6 in 1982.

That group broke up a year later due to the departure of its lead singer Vanity, after only minor success. But Bennett stuck around for its reincarnation, with a new lead singer, as Apollonia 6 in 1984. Bennett's image in both of the groups was that of the bad girl: she smoked and had the most attitude.

While Vanity 6 was together, it was rumored that there was a fight between Bennett and Vanity, where Bennett supposedly had Vanity up against the wall by her throat, ready to punch her.
