SHERIDAN, Wyo. (AP) - The premiere of rock star Prince's new movie brought actress Rosanna Arquette, singers Joni Mitchell, Sheila E., and Ray Parker Jr. and jazz musician Thomas Scott to this mining and ranching town of 15,000.
The celebrities also attended a party for "His Royal Badness" after viewing "Under The Cherry Moon" Tuesday.
Lisa Barber, 20, a hotel maid, won the chance to host the premiere of the movie and the party afterward by being the 10,000th caller in an MTV national call-in contest. The rock video cable TV channel carried the party live.
Ms. Barber introduced Prince to a screaming crowd of 500 at the Sheridan Holiday Inn.
Prince played a medley of his songs with his usual band, Revolution, which made a surprise appearance following his performance with another band, Mazarati.
Prince's first movie, "Purple Rain," won an Academy Award for best original song score. The Minneapolis rocker has also won or shared in three Grammy awards.
