Madonna Louise Ciccone is no longer simply an entertainer. Arguably the most famous woman in the world right now, she has transcended the status of pop star to become a cultural icon of our times. Her name is synonymous with re-invention, in an era when change is the only constant.
Adored by fans for continually pushing boundaries, admired by musicians and music lovers for leading musical trends, Madonna has earned respect for her chameleon-like ability to transform roles and personas without ever losing credibility. From streetwise vamp to Marilyn-esque showgirl, from Eva Peron to motherhood - these are not masks, simply angles of an immensely talented and creative woman.
Now, J Randy Taraborrelli, whose books on Diana Ross, Cher and the Kennedy women have earned him a reputation as one of the world's foremost celebrity biographers, has chronicled the path that led Madonna to the dais of "superstardom". He reveals the childhood heartaches, the frustrated adolescence, the overnight fame and the search for the elusive long-term relationship - now seemingly found with new partner Guy Ritchie.
Candid, meticulously researched and fascinating, this book is an insight into one of the most powerful women of our times.
