Apollonia van Ravenstein (born August 12, 1954) is a Dutch retired model and actress. She attained success in the 1970s as a fashion model and appeared on the cover of various Vogue magazines. As an actress, she had roles in the films Seraphita’s Diary (1982), Nothing Lasts Forever (1984), and Flodder (1986). In the late 1990s, she began working as a hostess on luxury cruise ships of the Holland America Line.
She became one of the most sought-after models of the 1970s, modeling for Halston and Diane von Fürstenberg. She appeared on multiple Vogue magazine covers, including British Vogue (October 15, 1971, December 1971 and January 1972) and Vogue Italia (June 1972). In 1972, van Ravenstein signed an exclusive contract with American Vogue and she appeared on the cover of the November 1, 1972 issue. She also appeared on the cover of Interview magazine’s June 1973 issue.
She was a close friend of actress Anjelica Huston and they often modeled together in London and New York. She dated actor Jack Nicholson, who called her “Apples only,” prior to his relationship with Huston. Nicholson and van Ravenstein had a one-night stand while he was dating Huston, which inspired Joni Mitchell’s song “People’s Parties” from the 1974 album Court and Spark. She also dated singer Mick Jagger who called her “Apples.”
She appeared in a pictorial for Playboy magazine in June 1978 and in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 1979. In 1982, van Ravenstein was photographed by pop artist Andy Warhol at the Factory in 1982 and used some pictures as examples for some rough marker drawings.
