Madonna Ciccone (Madonna Ciccone) was born on August 16, 1958 in Bay City-Bay City, near Detroit, Michigan, USA. Her father was an engineer and her mother a housewife.
Madonna was the oldest of eight children in the family, and her mother died of breast cancer at the age of six. As a child, Madonna was bold and businesslike.
She participated in school plays, was a cheerleader, took piano lessons and studied ballet.
Madonna's dancing skills won her a scholarship to the University of Michigan.
In 1978, during her sophomore year of college, Madonna interrupted her studies to head to New York.
The legendary singer made her home in New York's "Times Square" with only $35 and a lot of enthusiasm.
After one low-paying job after another, including a menial clerking job at Dunkin'
Donuts in Times Square, Madonna joined the famed Alvin Ailey and Martha Graham dance troupe and danced jazz for a while. jazz dance for a while.
Her restless nature made her reluctant to remain in obscurity for long among a group of dancers.
Also, she wanted to move from dance to music
The dancer-turned-singer played in a string of small bands.
In the early '80s, she began experimenting with writing lyrics and slowly learned to play guitar and piano again.
Madonna began working as a jazz singer in local dance clubs, where her teasing voice, enthusiasm and mischievous stage style captured the attention of large audiences.
In 1982, Radio Records music program host Mark Cummings offered her a chance to produce a successful club revue with her song "Everybody" and introduced the budding Madonna to Warner Records (Warner
). Bros.) executive.
The official was so pleased with her songs that he immediately offered Madonna a recording contract.
In 1983, Madonna released her first album under her name, "MADONNA," but it went unnoticed.
However, several of the album's songs became must-play in New York nightclubs.
After the video's wide distribution, the world became aware of Madonna, with her intriguing appearance: bee-stinged hair, bare stomach, ultra-short skirts and religiously tinged adornments, especially those intentionally colored.
In 1984, Warner Records released her record collection Like a Virgin, whose title track became Madonna's first chart-topping single, and the album went to No. 1 on the charts.
In 1985, Madonna sold more singles and albums than any other artist.
The successful Madonna began touring, and she also appeared in the feature films "Vision Quest" (1985) and "Desperately Seeking Susan" ("Desperately Seeking Susan," 1985).
And appeared in stage productions of "David Rabe's Goose" and "Tom-Tom".
She received mediocre reviews for these performances, but it was through them that she had the opportunity to meet her partner in the show, Sean
Penn, and the two of them immediately became the talk of the town.
The two were united on August 16, 1985, Madonna's birthday, in Malibu, California.
In 1986, they co-starred in the thriller "Shanghai Surprise," which drew a huge response.
But their marriage ended after less than four years.
The "controversy" -- sometimes inescapable -- has since stayed with Madonna.
It was the hit song from Madonna's 1989 album, "Like a Prayer" ("Like a Prayer"), that caused a sensation thanks to her rueful videotape. The video showed Madonna dancing in front of a burning cross and kissing an African-American religious man, demonstrating her instinctive disdain for God.
Religious groups were outraged, and as a result, PepsiCo canceled funding for Madonna's tours and interrupted the airing of her image in TV commercials.
What lesson did Madonna learn from the incident? Scandal sells
Madonna continued to use emotional techniques to sell her 1990 "Blonde Ambition" worldwide tour, as well as to boost ticket sales for the documentary "Truth or Dare," the X-rated autobiographical photo book "Sex" and the hit record "Erotica. After the "Sex" story died down, Madonna realized that she had indeed "stripped too much" and retired from the industry.
While Madonna was preparing for the Blonde Ambition tour, she was already planning to release a tour-related music video.
In March 1990, during the 120-plus days of the tour, Alex Kassishian, who was directing the documentary, became completely involved in Madonna's life for the film, titled Bed With Madonna (a.k.a. True or Daring). (a.k.a. True or Daring)
On the surface, Bed With Madonna is a behind-the-scenes look at the Blonde Ambition concert, but in reality, it's a movie about Madonna's life. The documentary is seen as a performance by a self-righteous woman who smugly brings everyday life to the camera. But the footage reflects Madonna's true character: reckless, exaggerated, acerbic, raging ---
One of the scenes shows Madonna as an adult traveling to her mother's gravesite in a limousine and wearing sunglasses. She imagines herself imprisoned, lying next to her mother's grave. And her brother shyly hides behind a tree. Afterward, Madonna drove off in her car.
In an attempt at a "In Bed With Madonna" movie, Madonna plays rough. She licks a bottle while her father and stepmother are waiting for her in the next room. She also reveals that her brother Christopher is a homosexual, her brother Martin is an alcoholic, and she declares Sean to be her favorite. She takes the dancing group shopping at a boutique, laughing and making love confessions with the group.
In another scene, she brings her father onstage and leads the audience in singing Happy Birthday in his honor, even kneeling at his feet. In addition, she took great care of the tour's seven year-old male dance partners, leading them in prayer before each rehearsal. She said to God, "All my children are vulnerable." She ended the documentary with her or all the cast members getting into bed and having fun, and with varying degrees of nudity.
Cinematographer Robert Lee Cook was embarrassed by some of the overexposure as well as the very private shots. He says: "What makes me love Madonna forever is that she trusted us and let us do what we did, and that's amazingly courageous. The vast majority of people, they would never allow someone to get into their private lives like that."
Diman also feared the documentary would ruin her reputation. She tried hard to convince Madonna to cut the nudity and embarrassing scenes, to which Madonna responded, "Everyone knows I'm a bitch, so who cares about that? People think I'm Saddam or Hitler."
The documentary fulfills Madonna's desire to lead, but not everyone is happy to be used by her. Even, a few of her dance partners sued Madonna, which was ultimately unsuccessful. In May 1991, "In Bed with Madonna" was officially released. This movie created another long furor when it came out. But again, one had to recognize that Madonna was indeed a very talented performer and had to acknowledge the extent to which she was committed to her performance and to her audience. For there are few show business people who would work as hard as she does to please an audience, few who are as imaginative and broad-minded as she is. However, people also recognize that they would not welcome someone as overwhelming as this into their lives. Many believe they only like Madonna as an artist, not as a real-life friend of their own, and in time those who have lewd expectations of her and many men consider her an intimidating corner.
At the chiding of many that "In Bed With Madonna" was a bit much, Madonna immediately said, "What's the point of doing a step documentary when you don't show every convenience? That wouldn't be a documentary, it's a - (call it whatever you want) life, it's a real part of life, it's the whole of what's happening in my life. It's about a century, a snapshot of an era.
"This documentary is the story of my searing passion and madness for acting, of traveling with the people who are my people." This no-holds-barred, insightful star-studded documentary does indeed reveal the true side of Madonna's dazzling superstar life, the more human side of an icon's life, showing Madonna's soul and body, the warmth hidden deep beneath the mask of the "Sex Bomb", the tenderness and the hypnotic flesh. It reveals Madonna's soul and body, the warmth, tenderness, and urgency hidden deep beneath the mask of the "sex bomb". While every movie star maintains an appropriate level of secrecy and the media maintains a respectable distance from them, Madonna opens herself right up and declares herself public **** property.
Night Flag magazine commented: "She made acting non-mysterious -- in the Madonna era, actors didn't have to appear as shining virtues behind the scenes. One critic said, "This one dazzles, and the extremely authentic production works very much in her favor. She does what other actors in the pantheon don't do. She thrives on people's amazement, and she's a shrewd person making a keenly awesome movie."
"People will say she knows she's making a movie," Madonna sighs helplessly, "She's merely acting. But in time I am acting, and there must be authenticity in my performance. I don't think it's easy for people to understand my life. When you know me to a certain extent, you'll look at it and say,You still don't know me, and that's okay, because you'll never really know me."
In 1991, while premiering her documentary "In Bed With Madonna" at the 44th Cannes Film Festival, Madonna said, "I don't differentiate my stage of life by my hair color. But after making this movie, I had a fresh start in my life. So I dyed my hair brown to say goodbye to the past."
At the Cannes Film Festival, Madonna's strip show became the most eyebrow-raising success in the festival's history. Madonna's dark hair was up in a high ponytail and she was wrapped tightly in a key of thick pink robes. As the strobe lights flashed nonstop, her robe unraveled gently, slipped to the floor and then sprang to life in a white satin cone bra and matching tight shorts as Madonna wiggled her hips in front of the cameras and kept changing positions as everyone went wild.
Madonna made it easy for "people 20 miles away to feel the dazzling light reflecting off her" and "everyone was talking about Madonna, the real star of the city," said a reporter for the Sunday Times. Unusual clothing and behavior stole the show, and she received more media exposure than all the other movie stars of Convergence Garner put together. began filming several small-budget productions in 1995, including "Blue in the Face" and "Four Rooms ("Four
Rooms "). When she re-emerged, she embodied two entirely new variations: a mother-to-be and a serious actress.On October 14, 1996, she and her then-boyfriend Carlos Leon welcomed their daughter, ourdes Maria
Ciccone Leon and Madonna called her Lola. The flirt appeared in "Who's That
Girl?" (1987), "Body of
Evidence" (1993), and then in 1996 in the movie "The Body of
Evidence" (1996), and then in the movie "The Body of
Evidence" (1996). ), and again in 1996 in the film "Mrs. Perón" ("Evita") as the female lead. The role was literally one that was tailor-made for her, at least according to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which honored Madonna with a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical and Comedy.In 1998 Madonna released a new single, "Ray of
Light," which she had expected to be poorly received, but surprisingly the record quickly reached number one on the charts, and has **** won platinum four times since. Produced by William
Orbit, the record was her first since 1994's Bedtime
Stories, and featured a new wardrobe and image that suggested that "Material Moms" (Madonna's nickname for her hit song "Material") were not the only ones to be recognized. her hit song "Material
Girl") has been perfectly aligned with the new dance music style, pushing the traditional pop genre into new territory. Obviously, like her 2 singles from Austin
Powers, Orbit's efforts made "Beautiful
Stranger" a quick hit and won Madonna a Best Movie MTV Music Television Award, giving Madonna a new lease on life. new life. The second version introduces Madonna, who was born in Bay City, Michigan, one of eight children in a large Italian family. She showed an early love of music - especially while in the Motor City - and dance, both of which also earned her a scholarship to the University of Michigan. Shortly after her arrival in New York, she began her dance career with the Martha Graham and Alvin Ailey Dance Company. With a passion for music, Madonna joined several bands, including Breakfast
Club cabaret club. Since signing with Sire Records in 1982, she has embarked on a recording career that has spanned more than 20 years and is considered one of the most successful and influential singers of our time. Over the past 25 years, Madonna has sold 240 million albums worldwide and has been certified by Guinness as the world's top-selling female artist, with 25 consecutive Top 10 singles including "Material Girl," "Like A Prayer," "Express" "Yourself" and "Material Girl. Yourself," "Vogue," "Ray of Light," and

Their Own and the acclaimed documentary Truth or Dare. Her lead role in the musical film Evita (Mrs. Perón) earned her a Golden Globe Award. Madonna's appearance in the critically acclaimed Broadway film David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow led to her debut on the West London stage in the spring of 2002 in the critically acclaimed, sold-out production of Up For Grabs.
