Madonna is a failed actress who has had starring roles in a number of films including ''Desperately Seeking Susan'', ''[[Evita]]'', ''Dick Tracy'' Swept Away and ''Shanghai Surprise'', in the last with her then husband [[Sean Penn]]. Overall her movie success did not live up to the success of her singing career and was dropped after her last films were universally panned.

==Controversy==

==Controversy==

She is no longer an extremely controversial figure for her "risqué" attitudes towards religion and sexuality as she spawned imitators like Paris Hilton and Tila Tequila, who were inspired by her to even more grotesque. Her own vulgarity was perhaps best exemplified in the music videos for her songs "Erotica," featuring implied [[homosexuality]] and other abhorrent sexual practices, and "Like a Prayer" which implies a sexual relationship between Madonna and a sculpture of a black Jesus Christ which comes to life during the course of the video. Her ''Truth or Dare'' "documentary" and an accompanying book provocatively titled "Sex" both were explicit displays of her deviant sexual exploits and were harshly criticized by pro-family groups. Many critics have called her actions as "manipulative" and "deliberately controversial" to simply to stay famous. Madonna's constant need to expose her body and act vulgar by deeming her actions "empowering" has negatively influenced many younger females, single handedly spawning "raunch" or "pornochic culture."

Madonna has reputedly had extensive plastic surgery including a full facelift which was necessitated by an obsessive compulsive addiction to exercise which had degraded her face by her late 30's.
