	Raspberry Beret Raspberry Beret (single)	Prince originally intended the video to be animated only. Actress Jackie Swanson who later played Kelly Gaines in the sitcom Cheers appears in this video as the girl who hands Prince his guitar. Another 'known' person in the video is actor/guitarist Pat Smear (who later played with Nirvana and Foo Fighters but who during this period acted as an extra in movies such as Blade Runner and Howard The Duck). Smear appears in the video with long dreadlocks. Of note Wendy Melvoin plays the Taylor 12-string purple acoustic guitar seen previously in 4 The Tears In You Eyes. Nominations: - Best Urban Contemporary Video: 4th American Video Awards (20 November 1985). - Best Performance by a duo or group: 4th American Video Awards (20 November 1985).
