Madonna Forever.

In her reverent, 800-page Madonna: A Rebel Life, the writer Mary Gabriel offers the argument that Madonna's entire biography is an exercise in reinventing female power. A friend of Madonna's recalls to Gabriel that when she first met her, in a club in New York in the early '80s, Madonna said, "I'm going to be the most famous woman in the world." AND YET, believe it or not, Madonna is human, and she was born - to a woman also named Madonna and a man named Silvio "Tony" Ciccone - in Bay City, Michigan, in 1958. Truth or Dare famously includes a contretemps between Madonna and her boyfriend at the time, the actor Warren Beatty, while Madonna is having her throat examined by a doctor mid-tour.
