Details

Synopsis Madonna's talent for identifying and riding upcoming trends, her songwriting instincts, and her sheer ambition have all been factors in a career which, after two decades of strategically placed controversy and consistent success, shows few signs of slowing down. In MADONNA: AN INTIMATE BIOGRAPHY, J. Randy Taraborrelli combines a solid foundation of well-researched biographical details with the kind of useful gossip beloved by all true Madonna fans, both about her less well-publicized affairs, such as the one with John F. Kennedy, Jr., and her somewhat higher profile dalliance with Warren Beatty. Taraborrelli portrays the singer's ill-starred marriage to actor Sean Penn as the passionate yet doomed alliance of two equally strong-willed personalities, in contrast to her later more stable relationship with British film director Guy Ritchie, and entertainingly itemizes her succession of liaisons with a variety of record producers and dancers, one of which resulted in the birth of her first child, Lourdes. Lurid, yet empathetically written, AN INTIMATE BIOGRAPHY reflects the combination of music, scandal, and artistic triumph that has made Madonna such a consistently compelling personality.
