Madonna
Download the Material Girl
The Material Girl is queen of reinvention. From her Like a Virgin days to her Kabbalah faith, motherhood and her foray into children’s literature, Madonna has worked hard to seal her fate as one of the hottest rock divas of all time.
Born Madonna Louise Ciccone, in Michigan. She left the Midwest for New York City where she consumed dance club sounds and honed a fashion style that would change with chameleon-like frequency. Madonna made an impression on the music world in 1983 when her debut singles “Borderline” and “Lucky Star” hit the dance charts. The tracks came off her self-titled album, Madonna.
Like a Virgin
Like a Virgin followed on the heels of Madonna. The title track won quick fans at the same time it stimulated deep controversy for its unabashed mash-up of Catholic symbolism and sex, an edgy and occasionally incendiary theme that would serve to set the artist apart from her contemporaries.
Madonna has turned out album after album and has won six Grammys. At each turn she has unfolded into yet another metamorphsis, built up from the last. Her public persona from the outset also established her as entertainer and personality. She has continued to titillate the public, push the envelope in realms where Puritans fear to tread: sex, homosexuality, and candid in-your-face individuality.
Personality Behind the Music
As movie star Madonna earned cult status opposite Rosanna Arquette in the 1985 film Desperately Seeking Susan. While she has had feature roles in nearly a dozen movies, A League of Their Own and Evita, stand out.
Her romantic relationships have been almost as popular as her artistic achievements. She married Guy Ritchie in 2000 and spends most of her time at their home in England. You can find out the latest developments at her website.
