OCR: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Madonna Madonna "She doesn't want to live off camera, much less talk," ex-lover Warren Beatty said of Madonna in her 1992 movie "Truth or Dare" (U.K. title: "In Bed with Madonna"). In the 1980s Madonna showed herself to be a supreme manipulator of style and her own image, earning more money in that decade than any other female pop artist. One of her first hits was the provocative song "Like a Virgin" (1984). This was followed by a string of successes that she promoted with a knowing, ironio, and erotic image. Madonna was one of the few performers in the 1980s and early 1990s who possessed a talent for popularizing underground trends just before they hit the mainstream. In the mid-1980s she broadened her scope and appeared in a number of films, including "Desperately Seeking Susan" and "Dick Tracy." Madonna, U.S. pop singer and actress, 1958 - The message behind her pop videos, songs, and a book of sex photos (1992) seems to be that women should exploit their sexuality, but it was Madonna's business acumen and marketing prowess that made her an icon of the 1980s and 1990s.
