Pop singer, songwriter, movie actress;
born in Rochester, Mich. Previously married to actor Sean Penn; Has one
child, Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon (by former companion Carlos Leon).
Madonna won a scholarship in high school to study dance at the
University of Michigan. She left in the late 1970s and moved to New York
City where she studied and danced with Alvin Ailey and Pearl Lang, acted
in underground films, and performed with rock bands. Her albums Madonna
(1983) and Like a Virgin (1984) sold over a million copies each and
included several hit singles. Her movie performances, except for
Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) and Evita (1996), were less
well-received. Known for her provocative stage and video performances, a
somewhat ambiguous symbol of a new feminism in her combination of
vulgarity and shrewdness, she was arguably the best-known woman in the
world at the height of her popularity.
In 1992, her book Sex was published, featuring provocative photographs
of her and others accompanied with text of her erotic musings. Much of
the controversy stirred by this publication carried over into the
casting of her in the feature film version of the musical Evita (1996)
critics believed her morally unfit for the role of the beloved
Argentinean Eva Peron. But she performed the role earnestly and
effectively, demonstrating her versatility once again. She became a
proud single mother in 1997, and got in touch with her spiritual side on
the Ray of Light (1998) release, a musical and thematic departure from
her earlier works.
