Madonna is the “Material Girl” who, starting from anonymity, became one of the most famous pop icons of all time. Her fame has remained constant for decades, thanks in part to her incredible ability to leverage the media and communication through her music, videos, advertisements, and the use of her own sensuality. Madonna was the first female pop icon to have full control over her music and image. This video traces her life through her words and songs: her early years as a dancer, the tough years in New York, her loves, and her commitment to the children of Malawi.
