18 minutes ago, Roland Barthes said:Yes, it's this one. David Collins, one of Madonna's best friend in London who was also a very high profile decorator (he did the Met Bar actually and co-wrote Substitute for love) was good friend with Richard Curtis, the director. To think that this very low profile relationship she had, almost off the radar, ended up being a movie (the Guy Ritchie saga regarding how they met and how their relationship started became a song "She's Madonna") is proof a simple biopic is not enough. It's like every month of her whole life (even before fame) could be a film.
So, Julia Roberts was the first (A -list) actress to play Madonna. I mean that jokingly but also a tiny bit in earnest.
