Madonna's profile

Madonna was born in Bay City, Michigan to Silvio Ciccone, who, through testing it’s been decided could not have a more Italian sounding name. At an early age, Madonna started taking ballet classes and received a dance scholarship from the University of Michigan. She dropped out at the end of her sophmore year and in 1977 moved to New York to pursue dance. To make ends meet, she worked at a Dunkin’ Donuts as well as working as a nude model for art students and horny guys pretending to be art students that thought it would be a cool elective to take. They were right. In 1980, she formed a band with her former boyfriend and her demo was brought to the attention of Sire Records.

Her Debut album was the self titled - Madonna. The album became a hit, rising to number 8 on the billboard 100. Her follow up album, Like A Virgin became her first number one, and suddenly teenage girls everywhere were dressing like the pop star. Luckily, people were there to take pictures and document this, giving people everywhere something to look back and laugh at.

In 1985, Madonna decided to start acting, and had a brief appearance in the film Vision Quest. Later that year she starred in Desperately Seeking Susan in which she played Susan, a woman who looked, talked, and acted exactly like Madonna. In July of 1985, Playboy and Penthouse magazines published nude black and white photos Madonna had taken in the late 1970s. Madonna was outraged and attempted to block them from being released, but failed. Apparently she just wanted to releasee naked pictures of herself, herself, as a few years later she released the controversial book Sex which was filled with photographs of her nude, in sexually compromising positions with men. Tastefully done of course.

In 1990 Madonna began touring again, on the Blond Ambition World Tour, which contained performances of Like A Virgin where her body was caressed by two male dancers to simulate masturbation. The tour was a huge success. From there Madonna began to branch out into movies, media, and basically became a multinational corporation.

In 1999, Madonna met filmmaker Guy Ritchie, and by 2000 she birthed the couples first child. The couple would have three more children, including one Malawian boy that Madonna adopted on a trip there. The adoption raised controversy, as the press speculated whether or not Madonna was given special treatment as Malawaian law normally requires one year of residence for anyone considering adoption. During the controversy, no one asked the boy whether or not he wanted to be taken out of poverty to live in a 40 million dollar home and eat thanksgiving meals everyday, even if it meant listen to his foster mom preach non-stop.

Today Madonna still writes music, as well as spending much of her time studying the Kaballah, which she says takes a great deal of time and energy. She lives in England with her husband and their three children.
