Louise Veronica Ciccone was the third of eight children
born into a large Italian family in Michigan. Her father,
Sylvio Ciccone, was a design engineer for General Motors,
and her mother was Madonna Ciccone. She died when Madonna
was six years old. You May Be Owed Unclaimed Money To
Find Out, Enter Your Last Name Here: Madonna attended
the University of Michigan on a dance scholarship for
two years before heading to New York City to become
a ballet dancer. She danced for the Patrick Hernandez
Revue before teaming with Dan Gilroy to form the band,
Breakfast Club.
She
later formed the band, Emmy, with Stephen Bray. Their
first two singles, "Everybody" and "Physical Attraction"
became club hits in New York. The next single, "Holiday,"
became her first Top Ten hit. Since then Madonna has
had a spectacular career in show business as a singer,
actress, and producer. Through her ability to evolve
with the audiences, she has had more number one singles
than any other female artist, eleven in all. Her song,
"Rescue Me" off of THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION, became
the highest-debuting single by a female artist in U.S.
chart history, entering at number 15. She has won numerous
MTV Music Awards, five Grammys, and a Golden Globe for
her performance in EVITA. In 1992 she signed with Time
Warner to create her own record label, Maverick. Madonna
continues to record music and act in films, splitting
her time between Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and London.
She has a daughter, Lourdes Maria, whom she calls "Lola"
and is expecting another baby in late 2000.
