Madonna: An Intimate Biography
Last updated: 03/10/2006 - 12:04
Updated profile of one of the modern icons of popular culture: Madonna.
J. Randy Taraborrelli’s celebrated biography Madonna: An Intimate Biography sat at the top of the bestseller lists, in 2001, for a staggering three months.
The reason is clear: he lifts the lid, and brings together better and more thoroughly, than anyone else, an unreservedly 'fly-on-the-wall' account of the whole glorious Madonna story, from the very beginning, to the present day.
The result of 10 years work, this is the inside, immaculately-researched true picture of one of the most infamous, enduring and scrutinised performers of our time.
Her childhood and pre-fame years, her exhaustive struggle for success, the music, the movies, the extravagances and the thriftiness, the shock tactics, the pregnancies, the friends and the enemies, the lovers, and much more, are all detailed with some insightful analysis, and plenty of comment and information from many insiders, friends, and even family, who have been prepared to speak to Taraborrelli, as they have no other autobiographer.
This paperback edition is updated to include more recent events, including those of her marriage to Guy Ritchie, and the Drowned World tour.
J. Randy Taraborrelli is the pre-eminent chronicler of some of the greatest names in showbusiness. His other bestselling books include: Call Her Miss Ross, Michael Jackson: The Magic and the Madness, Sinatra: The Man Behind the Myth and Jackie, Ethel, Joan – Women of Camelot. He is also a freelance journalist, an in-demand talk show guest. J. Randy Taraborrelli lives in Los Angeles.
