She was still a mystery to many of us at this point in her career. This is her at her peak of fame. As she says in this interview, "You are arguably the biggest star in the world today...."

      Or else....?

      @@sashabertold3731 I think what he meant was this was the peak of her "Sean years/True Blue era". She married him right after the Virgin Tour. So this was the peak of her "True Blue" era as culminated with the Who's That Girl Tour. As a bit of useless info-- the original working title of "Who's That Girl" was "Slammer".. but with Sean Penn's run-ins with the law and his breaking parole, it looked like he would go to jail or as one reporter called it "the slammer".. and since James Foley (the director) was best friends with Sean and Madonna, they felt that the working title might just carry with it some bad association and had to change the title. The title did come from exchanges with Griffin Dunn, who would ask "Who IS that girl??" And that's how the title was changed.. :)

You never stay on the same subject long unless it’s very revealing or interesting to the viewers. A dress rarely is. Also if the interviewee is uncomfortable with the subject, the interviewer should get off it.

By then she had already gone through a few of them and it’s interesting to hear from Madonna herself how she felt like a Madonna imitator so she went in a completely different direction for her third album. Back then singers wouldn’t change their look from one album to the next but this wasn’t just anybody this was Madonna. Always a trend setter

      Nice?! Classy?! What interview were you watching? For the first ten or fifteen minutes Jane acts "nice" but only in a very transparent attempt to get Madonna to warm to her. Then she starts laying out a series of traps for Madonna and becomes increasingly frustrated as the interview progresses with the realization that Madonna is not falling for any of it. Towards the end of the interview Jane is at times rude, desperate, irrational and even slightly delusional. She almost appears mentally unwell. It's actually quite uncomfortable to watch Jane's maneuvers and tactics throughout this interview. She grossly misjudged Madonna by thinking she would be an easy person to manipulate. Madonna is uncharacteristically patient to calmly sit through such a ridiculous series of questions, backhanded comments and thinly veiled accusations. But she outsmarts Jane at every step, and really Madonna is the only thing that makes this interview worth watching. I have to laugh when Jane says "well, you're lucky!" towards the end, sounding defeated and barely even attempting to contain her jealousy and envy. It's like a scene straight out of Dynasty! lol. Only in the 80's!!

    It is so hard to find interviews with Madonna where the topic revolves around her music, they so seldom focus on the music. They mostly ramble on about fashion and romantic life and whatever.....hardly ever about the MUSIC. I remember a Rolling Stone article once that was about 7 or 8 pages long, and not once in the article does it EVER mention that she is a recording artist, no discussion about her music.....not one word about it. One of the biggest music stars ever, and it was never talked about in a rather long story, just lots of discussion about whom she had dated, or her ever changing fashion style, or politico leanings. If you did not know anything at all about Madonna, the article would not let you know anything about her being a huge pop star.

    Yes, the interviewer was a bit over the top. But in my opinion she just should have chosen nicer words to ask the same questions. I don't see her as jealous or passive aggressive, she was curious as the rest of the world, but slightly unprofessional. As I understand everyone was mesmerised by Madonna's new look. It's only now that we know her as a chameleon and the Queen of reinvention. It was her first major change back then and I would be shocked, excited and a bit confused too (I couldn't believe she's the same person when I first started to have interest in her career lol). Because nobody has ever done this before Madge. It was risky, but very smart, captivating and fresh. She changed in every way: make up, hair, style, different album theme, manners, a new man in her life (Sean). She wasn't just a girl next door anymore. She became much more sophisticated But at the same time she's the same unique person, she just showed her different side which nobody had ever seen before publicly. So, I can partly justify an interviewer for sounding like a Byatch. Long live the Queen✌🏼

Imagine what a crappy interviewer was in the 80's if this woman was reputable.
    All that aside, I love this interview from a historic perspective because some people don't realize what a huge cultural impact Madonna made from the very start of her career. She was was the originator of so many trends, not just in music but in fashion, social advocacy, art, - the list goes on and on. It's crazy how influential and how innovative she is. I think Madonna is one of the few musicians I have never lost interest in or got bored of. She's not gimmicky, never redundant, and always original. Love her!

      allthatjazzspaz95 Yeah, enough of this shit. She is an incredible writer and producer and dancer, and her voice is incredibly underrated.

      She did not become an icon for just being Madonna, her live shows are amazing and she is a strong artist, musician, producer and dancer who puts 100 percent quality in everything she produces. She is authentic and not a fake studio production.

    as a die hard fan since her debut, I love seeing how Madonna evolved from the 80’s to today. Not just as a global artist and entertainer .. but as a woman. She truly blossomed right before our eyes.

      Why, allegedly, would the good discerning public that do not idol worship, ever believe an obnoxious lying, narcissistic, mediocre talented, helliweird, satanick masonick, entertainment industry created, wombless gender inverted male, controlled opposition shill, deceiver sellout, ACTOR, who has, for decades, been deliberately mocking, gaslighting,misleading and distracting the good public by masquerading as a female entertainer , ACTOR, and more laughably, as a mother claiming to have given natural child birth, while parading around with a strap-on prosthetic, pregnancy, moon belly bump, trannyesque makeup and heels and utilizing paid helliweird breeder surrogates, allegedly?

    I never knew she'd been a vegetarian since she was 15. And she avoids dairy products. Wow. No wonder she's maintained her figure so well, that her dancing and exercise. Wow. Good to know. The interviewer was kind of relentless and annoying with her follow up questions. She just kept digging and digging. Wouldn't just settle for the answer Madonna was giving.

    Wow - this interview was excruciatingly uncomfortable to watch. The stupid interviewer was really labouring over the most banal details. Madonna handled herself like a queen as always - graceful, classy and with a glint of humour in her eye. Such a tough cookie - I love her.

    Jane Pauly is a ding-dong for sure. But Madonna came out on top with her honest answers.
