In Madonna: An Intimate Biography, author J. Randy Taraborrelli's
scrupulously researched and completely balanced unauthorized
biography of one of the world's most celebrated entertainers, the
reader is allowed to draw his or her own conclusions. Indeed, the
portrait bestselling author Taraborrelli paints here is of a truly
complex woman, one who is driven and determined to succeed at any
cost, yet who displays remarkable vulnerability when it comes to
matters of the heart. It is significant that Madonna: An Intimate
Biography is the first such book written about the star in over a
decade, because in the past ten years the ever-changing Madonna has
gone through her biggest transformation yet -- from tempestuous sex
goddess to happily married mother. Amazingly, as she launches her
first worldwide tour in eight years, she is now -- at
forty-something -- enjoying one of the most successful periods of
her groundbreaking career. Whereas other books about Madonna have
been based on previously published material, Madonna: An Intimate
Biography is the result of ten years of exclusive interviews with
people who are speaking publicly about her for the first time,
including close friends, business associates and even family
members. Since Taraborrelli interviewed the star herself early in
her career, he is now able to draw from such firsthand experiences
to place her success story in perspective and provide new, stunning
insights. The true Madonna, as presented here, is not merely a
sensation-seeking tabloid vixen, but a flesh-and-blood woman with
human foibles and weaknesses -- as well as great strengths and
ambitions. For the first time, the reader learns about the complex
nature of her difficult relationship with her father, and how the
two finally found one another after years of estrangement; how
Warren Beatty broke her heart, and why the two never wed; how she
and John Kennedy, Jr., became romantically involved, his mother's
reaction to the prospect of Madonna as a daughter-in-law and why it
could never have worked out; the truth of her relationships with
the fathers of her two children and how, as a loving and attentive
mother, she has evolved into a surprisingly different woman...and
what the future holds for her. Madonna: An Intimate Biography is a
truly explosive and definitive account of the life of an
entertainer who is undoubtedly one of the most popular,
trendsetting figures of our time. Full of amazing disclosures about
her private life and public career, New York Times bestselling
author J. Randy Taraborrelli's latest work reveals Madonna in a new
-- and surprisingly inspiring -- way. Not only a feast for fans,
this book is great entertainment for anyone who enjoys a remarkable
story, stirringly told.
