Born Madonna Louise Ciccone, Madonna is one of the most commercially successful Artists in the history of popular music. Without doubt an artist with "star quality", no other female singer in the pop arena has been as prominent or as successful over such a long period.
This fascinating programme follows Madonna's amazing story from her troubled childhood to her move to New York in 1977 (with a rumoured $35,000) through to her meteoric rise in the eighties and nineties becoming the crowned undisputed Queen of Pop.
Madonna has always been a style chameleon, in her first decade going from ripped t-shirts and safety pins to Marilyn Monroe glamour. Her ability to be one step ahead has ensured that Madonna has always remained in the lime light.
Uncover the stories behind the signing of her first number 1 hit in the Dance charts "Everybody", her marriage, relationship and eventual split with actor Sean Penn, the nude photos in Playboy and Penthouse, her alleged lesbian affair with actress Sandra Bernhard and the controversy behind her videos such as "Like a Prayer" and "Papa don't preach".
This programme contains rare archive footage, video clips and interviews with Madonna herself and with those who knew her best, Martin Ciccone (Brother), Seymour Stein (President Sire Records), Whitney Satrakian (N.Y. Flat Mate) and Mark Bego (Madonna Biographer).
This astonishing programme witness her rise to superstardom, from penniless dance student to pop icon. By her first decade in music Madonna had become both a billionairess and world star. This programme tells this incredible story.
