The material girl is to write and direct her own biopic, but fans will want to see the struggles as well as the triumphs
“It’s essential to share the rollercoaster ride of my life with my voice and my vision,”
Madonna said when it was announced by Universal Pictures that she will be co-writing and directing a biopic about her life. The star was annoyed back in 2017 when she heard that Blonde Ambition, a screenplay about her early years in
New York, was in development. “Nobody knows what I know and what I have seen,” she posted on
Instagram. “Only I can tell my story.”
Now just turned 62, she is feeling reflective and ready to tell it, with a promising team of
Women behind her. Producer Amy Pascal for instance, whose credits include Oscar-nominated The Post and Little Women, and Donna Langley, chairperson of Universal Pictures and a key mentor for women in the film industry, who says that the biopic will present “the unvarnished story” of Madonna’s struggle as an artist trying to survive in a man’s world.
