Madonna, Halle Berry, and Lenny Kravitz are among the celebrities who have donated their talent to Art for Education, the inaugural fundraiser to benefit the Chema Vision Children’s Center in Nairobi, Kenya.
The screenplay to the film Angie was written with Madonna in mind – but she’d leave the project, and two different versions of what happened emerged.
Throughout the 1990s, Madonna dabbled with some pretty successful movie projects. She kicked the decade off in 1990 with Dick Tracy and in 1991 with the controversial documentary Truth Or Dare: In Bed With Madonna (the title you saw the film under was dependent on where you lived), the latter a press sensation of a film that won her a few new enemies as well as friends.
With the current craze of reworking old hits, it is no wonder that Madonna’s hit “Into The Groove” got a rework. For this one it is great to see the German emerging electronic talent Declain makes his debut on Generation Smash. With already an impressive back catalog of labels behind his name he now can cross off another one. For this fantastic rework, he enlisted the beautiful SONJA to put her enchanting voice on this masterpiece.
Madonna’s first ever time to star in a major motion picture was in Vision Quest (aka Crazy For You) as a nightclub singer. Three songs were recorded for the film, but only two ended up on the soundtrack and in the film (Crazy For You + Gambler).
We have just updated and restyled the press section of the Vision Quest filmography page with 24 new press articles and promotional adverts.
Een Nederlandse documentaire uit 2016. Zeven jonge dansers worden in 1990 door Madonna gecast voor haar spraakmakende Blond Ambition Tour. Hun reis wordt vastgelegd in één van de meest succesvolle documentaires ooit: Truth or Dare – In Bed with Madonna (1991). Al gauw groeien Madonna’s trotse dansers uit tot iconen van seksuele vrijheid. Wild, onbezonnen en amper twintig, laten ze de wereld zien wat het betekent om jezelf te durven zijn. Nu, 25 jaar later, nemen de dansers ons mee terug achter de schermen en onthullen ze de werkelijkheid over hun levens tijdens en na de tour. Strike a Pose is een aangrijpende film over het overwinnen van schaamte en het gevecht dat nodig is om te zijn wie je bent.

ABBA – Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)
Sometimes a song becomes famous as a sample because of its repeated use. And sometimes, it gains notoriety for quite the opposite reason. According to Lucy O’Brien’s 2009 book Madonna: Like an Icon, in 2004 Madonna told producer Stuart Price she wanted him to concentrate on creating songs that sound like “ABBA on drugs”. The problem is that as a rule, ABBA’s Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus don’t like that.
Hung Up was one of the first songs written for Madonna’s 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor. ABBA’s 1979 hit always formed the basis of the track, but getting the go ahead to sample it was anything but a gimme – even for the queen of pop.
Hung Up marks only the second time ABBA’s songwriters permitted anyone to use one of their tracks (the first time being Fugees, who sampled The Name of the Game in their single Rumble in the Jungle). The story goes that in order to gain the rights to use Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! Madge had to personally send a letter to Stockholm begging the pair for the privilege and also explaining how much she loved their music. She later told the BBC: “Thank God they didn’t say no… They had to think about it, Benny and Björn. They didn’t say yes straight away.”
Andersson has since quipped that Hung Up is his favourite Madonna song thus far. The royalty cheques probably help.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of Madonna making a grand entrance dressed in Gaultier couture at Cannes for the premiere of “Truth or Dare”
A red carpet moment that can go down in history books as one of the most iconic. We have added 32 original press articles from newspapers and magazines on the Cannes premiere of “Truth or Dare” to the filmography page.
In 1991 Madonna captivated the world with her documentary Truth or Dare / In Bed With Madonna. The film had one name in the USA, but was retitled In Bed With Madonna for international markets because back in the early 90’s not everyone was familiar with the game ‘truth or dare’.
STUNNING BROADCAST FROM MADONNA’s 1990 WEMBLEY SHOW
Madonna’s Blond Ambition World Tour was the third concert tour the girl undertook. It supported her fourth studio album Like a Prayer (1989), and the soundtrack album to the 1990 film Dick Tracy, I’m Breathless. It began on April 13, 1990, in Chiba, Japan, and concluded on August 5, 1990, in Nice, France. The 57-show tour marked Madonna’s first concerts in Sweden and Spain.
While we’re in the midst of celebrating the 30th anniversary of what must be the most groundbreaking (musical) documentary to date, here are a few related press articles for you.
In our filmography page dedicated to “Truth or Dare” we have just added 63 (newly) scanned magazine and newspaper articles. But wait, this is just the start.
