With her Who's That Girl movie Madonna changed her "Like a virgin" look. Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenberg said at the time "She wanted a visual impact that would knock people out.

When asked in the late 80's if movies and music were similar, Madonna answered "Yeah. Definitely. I used to think they were different, because I felt with music you could be more revealing. I felt music was more of a personal statement and acting was more about being someone else. But now I realize that acting is really about being yourelf too. It's about being true to yourself, being honest and so is music. In music, you can choose to be a certain kind of character, if you wish, but you use your experience to fill that characters shoes. So I think they are very similar."Rewind Archive
