News about Lisa Coleman

Prince's famous Purple Rain house in Minneapolis, Minnesota will be available to rent on Airbnb in celebration of the movie and soundtrack's 40th anniversary. The late superstar, who passed away at the age of 57 from an accidental overdose of fentanyl in 2016, purchased the property a year ahead of his tragic death. Although the home has been closed to the public for the past nine years, his  Revolution bandmates are opening the doors for a few lucky fans next month. Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman will be 'hosting the overnight stay,' according to TMZ.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Full marks for honesty. 'It was a long time ago - 30 years,' said actress Lisa Coleman, with a smile and a shrug. 'I can't really remember.' Lisa, best-known for the long-running Tracy Beaker series in the Noughties, played Doreen Hedgehog in a single episode of the cult BBC2 sitcom Bottom. Her only recollection of the show, on the retrospective Bottom: Exposed, was that the gags all involved explosive flatulence. Anyone who ever caught five minutes of the sitcom, written by its stars Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson, could have guessed that. Running out of things to say, Lisa admitted, 'I'm just making this up for biscuits and a travelcard.' If only every contributor to these combinations of hindsight and rose-tinted reminiscence were so frank.
