The remarkable, hyper-ambitious Material Girl who
never stops re-inventing herself, Madonna has sold tens of millions of
records and CDs to adoring fans worldwide. Her film career, however, is
another story. Her performances have consistently drawn scathing or
laughable reviews from film critics, and the films have usually had
tepid, if any, success at the box office. Born Madonna Louise Veronica
Ciccone in August 1958 in Bay City, Michigan, she moved to New York in
the late 1970s and studied with renowned choreographer Alvin Ailey,
joined up with the Patrick Hernandez Revue, formed a pop/dance band
called "Breakfast Club" and began working with then boyfriend Stephen
Bray on recording several disco-oriented songs. New York producer / DJ
Mark Kamins passed her demo tapes to Sire Records in early 1982 and the
rest, as they say, is history. The 1980s was Madonna's boom decade, and
she dominated the music charts with a succession of
multi-million-selling albums, and her musical and fashion influence on
young women was felt around the globe.
Madonna first appeared on screen in two
low-budget films marketed to a teenage audience: A Certain Sacrifice
(1985) and Vision Quest (1985). However, she scored a minor cult hit
with Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) starring alongside spunky Rosanna
Arquette. Madonna's next effort with then husband Sean Penn, Shanghai
Surprise (1986), was savaged by critics, although the resilient star
managed to somewhat improve her standing with her next two films, the
offbeat Who's That Girl (1987) (although she did receive decidedly
mixed reviews, they weren't as negative as those of her previous
effort) and the quirky Damon Runyon-inspired Bloodhounds of Broadway
(1989). The big-budget and star-filled Dick Tracy (1990) had her
playing bad girl "Breathless Mahoney" flirting with Warren Beatty, but
the epic failed to catch fire at the box office. Taking an earthier
role, Madonna was much more entertaining alongside Tom Hanks and Geena
Davis in the highly enjoyable A League of Their Own (1992), a story
about female baseball players during WWII. However, she again drew the
wrath of critics with the boring whodunit Body of Evidence (1993), an
obvious (and lame) attempt to cash in on the success of the ***y Sharon
Stone thriller Basic Instinct (1992).
Several other minor screen roles followed, then Madonna starred as Eva
Perón in Evita (1996), a fairly well received screen
adaptation of the hugely successful Broadway musical. The Material Girl
stayed away from the movie cameras for several years, returning to
co-star in the lukewarm romantic comedy The Next Best Thing (2000),
followed by the painful Swept Away (2002). If those films weren't bad
enough, she was woefully miscast as a vampish fencing instructor in the
James Bond adventure Die Another Day (2002).
Won Best Chart Act at the 2004 Dancestar USA Awards, in Bayfront Park, Miami. (9th March 2004)
Won two prizes at the 2006 Echo Awards for "Best Female Artist
international" and "Hit of the Year" for "Hung Up" (12 March 2006).
Recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award at MTV's 2006 TRL Awards (25 February 2006).
