Madonna (b.1958,) born Madonna Louise Ciccone, is an American pop singer and actress.
A shrewd self-publicist, Madonna earned international stardom as a sex symbol in the ’80s and ’90s. She provoked accusations of blasphemy and indecency through controversial videos and stage performances.
After showing acting potential in the début movie Desperately Seeking Susan (1985,) Madonna’s film career has not flourished. She received critical acclaim for her music albums Ray of Light (1998) and Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005.)
