I was today years old when I realized the Primetime journalist is the same guy who interviewed her for Nightline in 1990! So her reference to "Justify My Love" is even more interesting!
I have to say I was shocked you had no idea she has a sister, when there is 8- kids in her family( someone is slacking who’s feeding Madonna info). You should look up the photo shoot pics for Madonna’s 1986 cover of Life Magazine, it has beautiful pics of her with all her siblings.
This interview is a true psychoanalysis session. The chemistry between these two was _amazing_ ! *Forrest Sawyer* was such an intelligent journalist with incredibly insightful questions, and Madonna just followed the vibe of the STR album: such vulnerability, such emotion. She hates stupid questions from interviewers, and this guy was at her level! And when she talks about her mom...? So emotional!
Deffo her best interview and the section about her mother and 'safe place' gets me every time.....a wee greet😢😢😢 as we say in Scotland. Love her so much and loving the journey/ revisiting eras, feel old man
She got a golden globe for Evita, but deserved an Oscar. I always thought of her as having too much personality to be an actor. In desperately seeking Susan she was basically playing herself, Breathless was that nightclub singer which fitted her very well, Evita was Madonna at her best, singing, dancing, playing that strong and yet vulnerable character.
It’s very hard for someone as famous as Madonna to be seen as someone ‘not Madonna’ in a film role. Very few people of her fame have been able to do that. Cher is one. I can’t think of too many others.
I think around this time 93-94 Madonna acts in another movie, very disturbing by the way called Dangerous Game directed by Abel Ferrara. And PD: your voice 😌😅😊
OH, please also react to the 1996/97 Interview with Oprah Winfrey, it is such an amazing & honest interview and Madonna is gorgeous. She had just had her baby ( Lourdes) and a lot of great discussion about Evita as well. Hopefully you can just watch the interview in two parts at least, to not chop it up. I’ve seen many reactors watch it that way, so it doesn’t have to be edited.
Forrest Sawyer was the nightline guy who interviewed her when her JML video came out. He was a little harsh with her at the beginning of the interview, but by the end, you could see he gained a new respect for her and actually started liking her. This interview was so different. You can see she felt very comfortable with him and he was a totally different person with her.
Madonna is very smart. She looks how she does to show she can play Evita. She's telling the studio I can do this. She put out the Take A Bow video to get interest in her playing Evita and again showing the studio she can. She's using one project to get the next.
The Prime Time interview was done on her turf, in her old NYC apartment. Loved that place (it had been a feature in Architectural Digest) really chic Art Deco inspired design. The spring Versace campaign (also my fave) was shot at Mar-a-Lago of all places....Donald Trump's estate in Florida. Few years ago, she talked about spending the night there during the shoot and reported that the sheets were not very good quality 🤣🤣 Evita is a full on musical...more of a pop opera really. Not the kind where the characters suddenly burst into song mid-conversation, but rather the entire film is two hours of solid singing start to finish.
Great era with hindsight. I think people genuinely wanted to see Madonna succeed with Evita. It’s an archetypal societal ritual to sacrifice and then elevate to redemption if there is perceived repentance. The softening of Madonna’s public persona throughout 1995 was understood as maturing into convention, and impending motherhood only reinforced this further. How Madonna had changed privately remains speculative. Just for clarity, You’ll Stay was an early Ray Of Light demo, and totally unrelated to Something To Remember.
At that time, Madonna, in addition to Four Rooms, also filmed Blu in the Face, where she was the postwoman of telegrams, and Girl 6, where she played the role of a woman at the head of an erotic line
I saw Four Rooms back when it came out on home video in the 90s and my friends and I thought it was good/fun, but not sure if it's held up or not. Let us know! M and Antonio didn't share any scenes together (there's literally four different storylines and I think they're all directed by different people) so they didn't technically work together until Evita. Regarding the demos, I think they have potential and could maybe have replaced "One More Chance" (which I never cared for) but "I Want You" and "You'll See" are the best of the lot and there wasn't room for much more since it was technically a best-of compilation.
Also, Antonio Banderas was HUGE in the 80s if you were into arthouse cinema. He was THE pedro amaldovar star from that era (aside from Rossi de palma) so as far as Arthouse (not hollywood) went , he was the tom cruise. He crossed over to hollywood but kinda flopped
One of her best interviews 🤍
Love ittttt!

Evita was so HUGE here in Brazil...even a DCFMA Maxi single was released here.
Cannot wait to watch it! 💖

I can't wait for the Evita reactions!
SO KEEN!

She was great in "League of their own", but of course it also fit her character very well.
Thank you for this reaction! Loved watching it.
I'm glad!
Happy new year Benny Baby.
happy new year baby!

I liked Four Rooms. The real stars of that movie were the two kids though if you ask me. Hilarious.

omg no brit awards 1996 💔💔💔💔
She has 3 sisters.

One More Chance is pretty good but not among her best. I always felt it was her take on Extreme’s More Than Words.
The crazy thing she was either pregnant or months away from being pregnant when doing this interview (she was pregnant when filming evita)
Also, Antonio Banderas was HUGE in the 80s if you were into arthouse cinema. He was THE pedro amaldovar star from that era (aside from Rossi de palma) so as far as Arthouse (not hollywood) went , he was the tom cruise. He crossed over to hollywood but kinda flopped
Please, you made reaction on I'll Be Gone... it's demo for Ray Of Light album
It makes me sad that here we are now with a Madonna who doesn't resemble this one.
One of the most beautiful Eras ever, so classy
Agreed!
The moustache is not complimentary.
Absolutely no regrets.
