Madonna was born on 16.8.1958 in Detroit (pc. Michigan). She went to dance school. Madonna - the eldest of eight children in the family of an engineer, a native of Italy. His mother died when she was six years. Stepmother children brought up in austerity and religiosity. After high school she entered the dance faculty of the University of Michigan. After studying a year, she had 35 dollars in his pocket went to New York and easily adopted in one of the many dance groups. Madonna but wished not only dance but to sing. And finally, in 1983 her song "Holiday" was declared a hit. And two years later, the three largest U.S. Weekly - "Time", "Penthouse," "Playboy" - published a series of photographs of Madonna. Since that time in the history of mass culture of the era madonnomanii. The appearance of any myth is a mystery.
So here it is difficult to understand how this is low, only 154 cm tall, the woman was able to become a sexual symbol of 80 years and? 1 in show business. However, Madonna herself says that never doubted its irresistibility. "One school teacher said that I have now" ancient person ". Since then I have never forgotten their Roman ancestors,. Besides girl, she danced beautifully.
Widespread video clips helped Madonna to implement both talent. But if her dancing skills led to a constant delight, the singing at first gave rise to a mocking response, such as "plaintive bleating of sheep," "pathetic squeak", the professional critics. However, ordinary students thought differently, and therefore in the period from 1983 to 1990. Eleven of her songs took first place in the American hitparada.
Madonna, becoming the uncrowned queen of show business, started thinking about the glory of a movie star. Her screen debut, "Some mystery" (1979) was frankly erotic tape. In the mid 80-ies she starred in three films: "In the desperate search for Susan" (1984), "Shanghai Surprise" (1986), "Who is this girl?" (1987). And the most successful one was the first of them - the urban comedy dir. S. Seydelman. Madonna played the title role here - a girl without a definite occupation, which fell in New York at the epicenter of events involving the abduction of the museum's precious earrings. In the created image reflects the fundamental personality traits the singer - absolute emancipation and the desire to live, guided only by their own desires.
Unlike its predecessor, Marilyn Monroe, Madonna did not even try to wear the mask of decency or innocence. On the contrary, taken on the role of sex idol she played aggressively. Obscene movements are often formed the basis of her dancing. In the film "In Bed with Madonna" (1991) star was pleased to tell that for some explicit sex scenes with her participation, she just has not been brought to justice.
Madonna loves to shock the audience: probably not a single social taboo that it would try to overthrow. Thus in his remarks the star often contradicts itself. So, for example, it has publicly acknowledged that hates men and sex life prefers to deal with women, then declares that he loves to sleep in solitude, reading before bedtime works of Rilke, T. Mann, Kundera.
Barry Diller, boss, "XX Century Fox, has called Madonna" a movie star without a movie ". However, the fact that she is able to play, proved "Dick Tracy" (1989) - an ironical parody of the "police" movies, where Madonna appeared in the role of the singer Meyhani, especially with bad looks and pure soul. At the end of the film, she dies to save favorite. Actress very organically blended in a parody of the movie world, showing off an outstanding comedic talent. There is no doubt, and object parodying - Marlene Dietrich, dozens of times she fulfilled the role of the singer with a heart of gold.
So who is this Madonna? First of all, it is - the business woman. It has created three companies - "Fear," "Sirens," "Slutko" - bring the owner in the year 46 million profit. Her personal fortune is estimated at 150 million. But the successes are alternated with lesions, and for the missionary role in the film "Shanghai Surprise" Madonna was declared the worst actress of American film. But on stage and in video clips Madonna still confidently holds the leading position.
