Her ability to combine talent with ambition, controversy with reinvention is unmatched. While managing to keep the world watching well into her fourth decade as a professional entertainer — is unmatched. To celebrate The Material Girl’s birthday, we took a stroll down memory lane and celebrated a life that’s often imitated, but never duplicated.

Madonna Louise Ciccone
She is one of the most famous singers and actresses in the world. In 1982, though, Madonna Louise Ciccone lived in a rundown apartment in the Lower Eastside. At the time, she was 24 years old and still trying to make it as a singer. A photographer named Richard Corman took pictures of her one day when she invited him to her apartment.
Madonna Early Life
His first encounter with Madonna was at her apartment building during the summer of 1982, when he spoke to the media. Corman called his wife from the nearby phone booth before entering the building. Thus, she could notify her neighbors that he was coming inside. In the building, there were many illegal activities going on. Her goal was to let the tenants know before outsiders came for an inspection. Even though she wasn’t involved in the illegal activity, she didn’t want her neighbors to get into trouble.
As soon as Corman entered Madonna’s apartment, she offered him a black coffee. She was subsequently photographed next to the stove in the kitchen and also sitting on her desk chair. Her boom box was also on the roof of the building, Corman recalls. It was her turn to sing with the kids in the neighborhood. In addition to playing demo tapes, she would listen to them as well.
