Madonna - Speed The Plow

[djbethell]

She's no actress. Sounds like she's just reading the script for the first time.

[998899999]

notice how she put emphasis on "BROADway"

[underlastride]

bitchy anchorwoman...deserves a slap

[LaurelVentura]

It's amazing how things change. Look at the part when she exits the stage door. I can see only two fans with cameras. Nowadays there would probably only be two fans *without* cameras!

[Yuriclay]

They called her the 'Princess f the Pop'...Now...She is the QUEEN...

[Yuriclay]

@nbmp80 Well, while Madonna is still alive SHE is the QUEEN

[WhisperHorseRay]

Wow she hasn`t changed after so many years! just have gotten better

[Madge1995]

Great!

[emanitudism]

i'm glad all these old news reports are online, because a lot of people now have forgotten how absolutely huge madonna was

she broke new ground

it's taken for granted nowadays when a lot of singing-dancing-acting artists today cross from one medium to another, but crossing over just wasn't done back then and madonna was both lauded and punished for the attempt.

these days you're almost expected to be a multidimensional celebrity: a perfume, a clothing range, records, dancing, costume changes

[IDIOTES1982]

awwww the presenters are so cute

[alexalex3131]

Mamet wrote her role "flat" purposely. That's how he often (but not always) writes his female characters, it's part of his distinctive style which is more understood now. So I would give M a pass on this one.

It only takes six weeks to become a Broadway Star? Sign me up at the neighborhood method acting studio! Madonna can be a very good actress--when she is able to put aside her ego of being a superstar and risk letting the world see her as the character, not as herself the pop star. "D.S.Susan" is an example: She was relaxed and organic, but when she did "Shanghai S." she was more self-conscious and gave a wooden performance because she tried too hard to create an uptight character.

[Jako32]

shes an amazing underated actress

[LauraBeachnut]

A legitimate artist......

HAAAAAAAA hee haw, hee haw... LOL

[cosmopolita99]

[cosmopolita99]

[dhm80]

[cjs33139]

[elove772002]

JFK sr. dated Marilyn Monroe. JFK jr. dated Madonna go figure!

[CondeFombrilac]

"sounds like really g ood sex" ..WAHT???!

[bobthenerve]

Man! 20 years ago and all those stars are still around!

[Savorist]

Mamet - Brilliance. Shear brilliance. He benefited from the glitz of Madonna - as he did recently with Piven...

[gasaholic47]

RIP Ron Silver. Amazing actor.

[everybodyhasone]

RIP Madonna the actress

[batface76]

Notice Jackie O. at 2:52.

Madonna was dating JFK Jnr at this time, and was dismayed that Jackie didn't come backstage after the show to meet her.

She broke up with him soon after.

[madonno108]

Madonna dated JFK JR???? ARE you serious?? i never knew that!!

[cosmopolita99]

yes she did... search for that in google.

[juliMathers]

yeah!

[elanarab]

I saw this on Broadway with Madonna when I was 25. I thought she was not very good in it, also. What I notice here is how she used to have that sort of low class sound to her voice, before she became British, lol.

[Geigerkampf]

wow, a pre-op Jennifer Grey! God, I miss that nose.

[conewells]

forget madonna- that leeza gibbons was soooo cute! That hair!!

[elmando5]

God the fashion in the 80's was horrible. Did you see Jennifer Beals? Holy cow those glasses.

[evitastories]

Funny. I remember recording this off of television. I actually got to see her in this play. It was great to see her, but it wasn't the same because she had brown hair. It just didn't seem like the the "Madonna" I was used to.

[freeDDLE]

LOVE MADONNA

[meathead2001]

Skank.

[kukki5]

so cool that on 3:50 they called her princess of pop culture... shes the Queen now

[juliMathers]

wow... thats amazing. this woman is super intelligent!

[IDIOTES1982]

@juliMathers

yes of course she is

she is Madonna....Queen of Life, Queen of the Universe

[laterdanish]

madonna was amazing in Up For Grabs in london...I would have killed to see this play!

[COBYKOEHL2]

[bmxer71]

"I know what it is to be bad, I've been bad."
