Strategic Partners Annuity One
Prospectus Supplement
December 4, 2000

This supplement modifies certain information in the Prospectus dated September
18, 2000 for the Strategic Partners Annuity One. Unless otherwise indicated,
all other information included in the Prospectus remains unchanged. The terms
we use in this Supplement have the same meaning as in the Prospectus.

EARNINGS APPRECIATOR -- SUPPLEMENTAL DEATH BENEFIT

Subject to approval by your state, we now offer the Earnings Appreciator, an
optional supplemental death benefit payable upon the death of the sole or last
surviving owner during the accumulation phase. The owner (or joint owner, if
older) must be younger than age 76 to apply for the benefit.

The Earnings Appreciator provides a supplemental death benefit equaling 45% (or
25%) of the earnings allocated to each purchase payment, limited to not more
than 45% (or 25%) of the purchase payment itself (adjusted for any
withdrawals). If the owner (or the joint owner, if older) is younger than age
66 on the date the application is signed, then the percentage is 45%. If not,
the percentage is 25%. The Earnings Appreciator benefit is in addition to any
other death benefit under your contract.

The charge for this benefit is based on an annual rate of 0.15% of your
contract value if you have also selected a guaranteed minimum death benefit
option (0.20% if you have not selected a guaranteed minimum death benefit
option).

The following changes to the Prospectus reflect the availability of the
Earnings Appreciator.

1.   The following section is added under "What is The Death Benefit?" on pages
     33 - 34:

     EARNINGS APPRECIATOR SUPPLEMENTAL DEATH BENEFIT

     Subject to approval by your state, we now offer the Earnings Appreciator,
     an optional supplemental death benefit payable upon the death of the sole
     or last surviving owner during the accumulation phase. This benefit is in
     addition to any other death benefit under your contract.

     -   An Earnings Appreciator benefit is calculated for each purchase
         payment you make. Your total Earnings Appreciator benefit is the sum
         of the Earnings Appreciator benefits for all of your purchase
         payments.

     -   If the owner (or older of owner and joint owner if there is a joint
         owner) is younger than age 66 on the date the application is signed,
         the Earnings Appreciator benefit for each purchase payment is 45% of
         the lesser of:

         -    The adjusted purchase payment (which means the invested purchase
              payment adjusted for partial withdrawals); or

         -    Earnings attributed to that adjusted purchase payment.

     -   If the owner (or older of owner and joint owner if there is a joint
         owner) is age 66 or older (and younger than age 76) on the date the
         application is signed, the Earnings Appreciator benefit for each
         purchase payment is 25% of the lesser of:

         -    The adjusted purchase payment (which means the invested purchase
              payment adjusted for partial withdrawals); or

         -    Earnings attributed to that adjusted purchase payment.

     -   The following rules apply to the calculation of the benefit:

         -    Each "adjusted purchase payment" is the invested purchase payment
              reduced pro-rata by any subsequent withdrawals. Reduction on a
              pro-rata basis means that we calculate the percentage of your
              current contract value being withdrawn and reduce each adjusted
              purchase payment made prior to the withdrawal by that percentage.
              For example, if your contract value is

<PAGE>   5

              $40,000 and you withdraw $10,000, you have withdrawn 25% of your
              contract value.  If you have two adjusted purchase payments prior
              to the withdrawal ($10,000 and $20,000), each of those adjusted
              purchase payments would be reduced by 25% (to $7,500 and
              $15,000).  The amount of earnings allocated to each adjusted
              purchase payment is also reduced by the same percentage.  These
              calculations, therefore, do not depend on the actual investment
              option from which the withdrawal is made, and they are different
              calculations than those that apply for other reasons under the
              contract, such as for the withdrawal charge or for tax purposes.

         -    Earnings are periodically allocated to each adjusted purchase
              payment on a pro-rata basis. We calculate the amount of earnings
              since the last earnings allocation and we allocate those earnings
              proportionately among the adjusted purchase payments (based on
              the amount of each adjusted purchase payment plus the earnings
              previously allocated to that adjusted purchase payment).  For
              example, if you have two adjusted purchase payments - one with an
              adjusted purchase payment and allocated earnings of $30,000 and
              the other with an adjusted purchase payment and allocated
              earnings of $20,000 (therefore 60% and 40% of the total
              respectively) -- and your contract has earned $5,000 since the
              last calculation, 60% of the earnings ($3,000) will be allocated
              to the first adjusted purchase payment and 40% of the earnings
              ($2,000) will be allocated to the second adjusted purchase
              payment.  This calculation, therefore, does not apply different
              rates of return to different purchase payments based the
              investment options in which the particular purchase payment was
              invested.  When allocating earnings at the time of a death
              benefit payment, we will first deduct from earnings the amount of
              any charges deducted and credit recaptured from your contract
              value at that time.

     -   See the Appendix for examples of the benefit calculations.

2.   The following section is added under "What are the expenses associated
     with the Strategic Partners Annuity One Contract?" on pages 37 - 39:

     EARNINGS APPRECIATOR CHARGE

     We will impose an additional charge if you choose the Earnings Appreciator
     supplemental death benefit. The charge for this benefit is based on an
     annual rate of 0.15% of your contract value if you have also selected a
     guaranteed minimum death benefit option (0.20% if you have not selected a
     guaranteed minimum death benefit option).

     We calculate the charge on each of the following events:

         -    each contract anniversary;
         -    when you begin the income phase of the contract;
         -    upon death of the sole or last surviving owner prior to the income
              phase;
         -    upon a withdrawal; and
         -    upon a subsequent purchase payment.

     The fee is based on the contract value at time of calculation and is
     pro-rated for the portion of the year since the last time the fee was
     calculated.

     The charge is not deducted every time it is calculated. Instead, the
     charge is deducted, along with any previously calculated but not deducted
     charge, on each of the following events:

         -    each contract anniversary;
         -    when you begin the income phase of the contract;
         -    upon death of the sole or last surviving owner prior to the income
              phase;
         -    upon a full withdrawal; and
         -    upon a partial withdrawal if the contract value remaining after
              the partial withdrawal is not enough to cover the then applicable
              charge.

     We withdraw this charge from each investment option in the same proportion
     that your contract value is allocated to that option. Upon a full
     withdrawal or if the contract value remaining after a partial

                                       2

<PAGE>   6

     withdrawal is not enough to cover the applicable charge, we will deduct
     the charge from the amount we pay you.

     The payment of the Earnings Appreciator charge will not reduce the
     adjusted purchase payments for purposes of calculating subsequent Earnings
     Appreciator charges. The payment of the Earnings Appreciator charge will
     be deemed to be made from earnings for purposes of calculating other
     charges.

     As noted above, the charge is calculated and deducted at least once a year
     on the contract anniversary. In the future, we may calculate and deduct
     this fee more frequently, such as quarterly.

3.   The following is added to the Glossary on pages 6-7:

     ADJUSTED PURCHASE PAYMENT

     Your invested purchase payment adjusted for any subsequent withdrawals.
     The adjusted purchase payment is used only for calculations of the
     Earnings Appreciator benefit.

     EARNINGS APPRECIATOR

     An optional feature that may be available for an additional charge that
     provides a supplemental death benefit based on earnings under the
     contract.

4.   The following is added to the summary of section 4 on pages 10 - 11:

     For an additional fee, you may also choose, if it is available under your
     contact, the Earnings Appreciator supplemental death benefit.

5.   The following is added to the summary of section 6 on page 11:

     -   We will make an additional charge if you choose the Earnings
         Appreciator supplemental death benefit. We deduct this charge from
         your contract value on the contract anniversary and upon certain other
         events. The charge for this benefit is based on an annual rate of
         0.15% of your contract value if you have also selected a guaranteed
         minimum death benefit option (0.20% if you have not selected a
         guaranteed minimum death benefit option).

6.   The following is added to the chart summarizing maximum charges in the
     "Summary of Contract Expenses" section on page 14:

<TABLE>

    Note 5 below)                                 benefit option also selected)
</TABLE>

     NOTE 5: We impose this charge only if you choose the Earnings Appreciator
     supplemental death benefit. The charge for this benefit is based on an
     annual rate of 0.15% of your contract value if you have also selected a
     guaranteed minimum death benefit option (0.20% if you have not selected a
     guaranteed minimum death benefit option). We deduct this charge annually.
     We also deduct this charge if you make a full withdrawal or enter the
     income phase of your contract, or if a death benefit is payable, but
     prorate the fee to reflect a partial rather than full year. If you make a
     partial withdrawal, we will deduct the prorated fee if the remaining
     contract value after the withdrawal would be less than the amount of the
     prorated fee; otherwise we will not deduct the fee at that time. The fee
     is also calculated when you make any purchase payment or withdrawal but we
     do not deduct it until the next deduction date.

7.   Expense example tables 2a, 2b, 4a and 4b on pages 20 and 22 are revised as
     follows to reflect the fee for the Earnings Appreciator. The fee of 0.15%
     is used in these tables because the examples assume the election of a
     guaranteed minimum death benefit option.

8.   The following sections are added under "What Are the Tax Considerations
     Associated With The Strategic Partners Annuity One Contract?" on pages 41
     - 45:

     Subject to approval by your state, we offer an optional supplemental death
     benefit called the Earnings Appreciator. Although we believe this benefit
     is an investment protection feature that should have no adverse tax
     consequences, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service could take
     a contrary position and assert that some or all of the Earnings
     Appreciator charges should be treated for federal income tax purposes as a
     partial withdrawal from the contract. If this were the case, the charge
     for this benefit could be deemed a withdrawal and treated as taxable to
     the extent there are earnings in the contract. Additionally, for owners
     under age 59 1/2, the taxable income attributable to the charge for the
     benefit could be subject to a tax penalty.

     If the Internal Revenue Service determines that the deductions for one or
     more benefits under the contract, including without limitation the GMDB
     and GMIB features and the Earnings Appreciator supplemental death benefit,
     are taxable withdrawals, then the owner may revoke the affected benefit(s)
     within 90 days after notice from us.

                                    APPENDIX
                  Calculation of Earnings Appreciator Benefit

EXAMPLE 1:

Assume that a purchase payment of $70,000 is made on the contract date. Assume
that no withdrawals or subsequent purchase payments are made and that the
contract value used in the death benefit calculation is $120,000. Also assume
that the owner (or joint owner, if older) is younger than age 66 on the date the
application is signed.

<TABLE>
<S>                                      <C>
      45% of lesser of:
          Adjusted Purchase Payment       $ 70,000
          Allocated Earnings              $ 50,000 (contract value minus purchase payment)

      Benefit (45% of $50,000)            $ 22,500
</TABLE>

EXAMPLE 2:

Assume that a 60 year old purchases a contract on 1/1/2001 with a $50,000
purchase payment.

The owner's initial purchase payment (purchase payment #1) grows to $90,000 on
1/1/2005, giving the contract $40,000 IN EARNINGS*, all allocated to the initial
purchase payment. On this date, the owner makes an additional purchase payment
of $60,000. The $60,000 purchase payment increases the contract value to
$150,000 ($90,000+$60,000). At this time, there are no earnings allocated to the
additional purchase payment (purchase payment #2). However, future earnings will
now be allocated to the two purchase payments in the following proportions:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                       <C>
     purchase payment#1 + earnings/total contract value = $50,000 + $40,000*/ $150,000 = 60%
     purchase payment#2 + earnings/total contract value = $60,000 + $0/ $150,000       = 40%
</TABLE>

On 1/1/2009 the owner makes a withdrawal of $38,000. The contract value has
grown an additional $40,000 from $150,000 on 1/1/2005 to  $190,000 on 1/1/2009
prior to the withdrawal. The $40,000 IN NEW EARNINGS** will be allocated among
the two purchase payments prior to the withdrawal using the percentages
determined above.

<TABLE>

     $40,000 IN NEW EARNINGS**
     Earnings Allocated to Adjusted Purchase Payment #1 (60% of $40,000**) = $24,000
     Earnings Allocated to Adjusted Purchase Payment #2 (40% of $40,000**) = $16,000
</TABLE>

The earnings allocated to each purchase payment now are as follows:

</TABLE>

The withdrawal of $38,000 reduces the contract value by 20% ($38,000/$190,000).
The withdrawal will reduce both purchase payments and the earnings allocated to
each of them by 20% as shown below.

</TABLE>

The contract value grows $20,000 from $152,000 on 1/1/2009 to $172,000 on
1/1/2011. THE $20,000 IN NEW EARNINGS*** will be allocated among the two
purchase payments using the percentages determined above.

Strategic Partners Annuity One
Supplement to the Statement of Additional Information ("SAI")
December 4, 2000

This supplement modifies certain information in the SAI dated September 18,
2000 for the Strategic Partners Annuity One. Unless otherwise indicated, all
other information included in the SAI remains unchanged. The terms we use in
this Supplement have the same meaning as in the SAI.

The following is added under "Non-Standard Total Return" on pages ___:

     The tables below provide performance information for specified periods
     ending June 30, 2000 for each subaccount that invests in a Fund that had a
     performance history as of June 30, 2000. For the periods prior to the date
     the subaccounts commenced operations, non-standard performance information
     for the Contracts will be calculated based on the performance of the Funds
     and the assumption that the subaccounts were in existence for the same
     periods as those indicated for the Funds, with the level of Contract
     charges that were in effect at the inception of the subaccounts (this is
     referred to as "hypothetical performance data"). Standard and non-standard
     average annual return calculations include all of the fees under the
     contract (i.e., the mortality and expense risk charge and the
     administrative fee). This information does not indicate or represent
     future performance.

     The following three tables assume a daily insurance and administrative
     charge equal to 1.70% on an annual basis, a charge for the guaranteed
     minimum income benefit equal to 0.25% on an annual basis of the "roll-up
     value" as defined in the prospectus, and a charge for the Earnings
     Appreciator equal to 0.15% on an annual basis of the contract value.

ITEM 25.      DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF THE DEPOSITOR

See Part A:  Directors and Officers.

ITEM 26.      PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH THE DEPOSITOR
              OR REGISTRANT

Pruco Life Insurance Company ("Pruco Life"), a corporation organized under the
laws of Arizona, is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential
Insurance Company of America, ("Prudential"), a mutual life insurance company
organized under the laws of New Jersey. The subsidiaries of Prudential and
short descriptions of each are set forth below.

Pruco Life may be deemed to control its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Pruco
Life Insurance Company of New Jersey ("Pruco Life of New Jersey") and The
Prudential Insurance Company of Arizona ("PLICA"). Pruco Life may also be
deemed to control the following separate accounts which are registered as unit
investment trusts under the Investment Company Act of 1940: the Pruco Life
Variable Appreciable Account, the Pruco Life Variable Insurance Account, the
Pruco Life Single Premium Variable Life Account, the Pruco Life Variable
Universal Account, the Pruco Life PRUvider Variable Appreciable Account, the
Pruco Life Single Premium Variable Annuity Account, the Pruco Life Flexible
Premium Variable Annuity Account (Registrant) (separate accounts of Pruco
Life), the Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Appreciable Account, the Pruco
Life of New Jersey Variable Insurance Account, the Pruco Life of New Jersey
Single Premium Variable Life Account, and the Pruco Life of New Jersey Single
Premium Variable Annuity Account (separate accounts of Pruco Life of New
Jersey).

The above-referenced separate accounts, along with Prudential and certain of
Prudential's separate accounts, hold the majority of the shares of The
Prudential Series Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation. In addition, Prudential
holds all the shares of Prudential's Gibraltar Fund, Inc., a Maryland
corporation, in three of its separate accounts. The Prudential Series Fund,
Inc. and Prudential's Gibraltar Fund, Inc. are registered as open-end
diversified, management investment companies under the Investment Company Act
of 1940. Additionally, the aforementioned separate accounts of Prudential are
registered as unit investment trusts under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

In addition, Pruco Life may also be deemed to be under common control with The
Prudential Variable Contract Account-2, The Prudential Variable Contract
Account-10, and The Prudential Variable Contract Account-11, separate accounts
of Prudential, all of which are registered as open-end, diversified, management
investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and with the
Prudential Variable Contract Account-24, a registered unit investment trust.

The subsidiaries of Prudential and short descriptions of each are listed under
Item 24 of Post-Effective Amendment No. 36 to the Form N-1A Registration
Statement for The Prudential Series Fund, Inc., Registration No. 2-80896, filed
April 28, 2000, the text of which is hereby incorporated.

ITEM 27.      NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS

None as of September 18, 2000.

ITEM 28.      INDEMNIFICATION

The Registrant, in conjunction with certain affiliates, maintains insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was a trustee, director, officer, employee, or
agent of the Registrant, or who is or was serving at the request of the
Registrant as a trustee, director, officer, employee or agent of such other
affiliated trust or corporation, against any liability asserted against and
incurred by him or her arising out of his or her position with such trust or
corporation.

Arizona, being the state of organization of Pruco Life Insurance Company
("Pruco"), permits entities organized under its jurisdiction to indemnify
directors and officers with certain limitations. The relevant provisions of
Arizona law permitting indemnification can be found in Section 10-850 et. seq.
of the Arizona Statutes Annotated. The text of Pruco's By-law, Article VIII,
which relates to indemnification of officers and directors, is incorporated by
reference to Exhibit 3(ii) to its form 10-Q filed August 15, 1997.

                                       3

<PAGE>   17

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
