Biography of madonna

Singer, performer, actress. Born Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone in Bay city, Michigan, on August 16, 1958, to parents Silvio "Tony" Ciccone and Madonna Fortin. Tony, the son of italian immigrants, was the first of his family to go to the college, where he earned a degree in engineeiring. Madonna's mother, and x-ray technician and former dancer, was of french Canadian descent. After their marriage in 1955, the couple moved to Pontiac, Michigan, to be close to Tony's job as a defense engineer. Madonna was born three years later, during a visit of family in Bay city. The third of six childre, Madonna learned early on how to handle her role as the middle child, admitting that she was "the sissy of the family" who often used her feminine wiles to get her way.
Her parents' strict observation of the Catholic faith played a large role in Madonnas's childhood. "My mother was a religious zealot", Madonna explains. There were always priests and nuns in my house growing up. Many elements of Catholic iconography- including her mother's statues of the sacred heart, the habits of the nuns at her catholic elementary school, and the catholic altar at which she and her family prayed daily-later became the subject of Madonna's most controversial works.
Another heavy influence on Madonna's early life was her mother, who was diagnosed with breast cancer during her pregnancy with Madonna's younger sister. Treatment had to be delayed until the baby reached full term, but by then the disease had grown too strong. On December 1, 1963, at the age of 30, Madonna's mother passed away. Madonna was only 5 years old at the time of her mother's death.

The loss of her mother significantly affected Madonna's adolescence. Haunted by the memories of her mother's frailty and passive demeanor during her final days, Madonna was determined to make her own voice heard. "I think the biggest reason i was able to express myself and not be intimidated was by not having a mother" she says. "For example, mothers teach you manners. And i absolutely did not learn any of those rules".

She fought especially hard against the rules imposed by her stepmother, Joan Gustafson, who met Madonna's father while working as the family housekeeper. Madonna says Gustafson often made her take care of the younger children in the household, a task she greatly resented. "I really saw myself as the quintessential Cinderella, "Madonna later said: " I think that's when i really thought about how i wanted to do something else  and get away from all that. "She rebelled against her traditional upbringing by turning her conservative clothing into reaveling outfits, frequenting underground gay nightclubs, and rejecting her religious background.

But Madonna balanced this insubordinate side of her personality with a drive of perfectionism and high-achievement. She was a straight A-student, cheerleader, and disciplined dancer who graduated from high school a semester earlier than her peers. In 1976, her hard work earned her the attentions of the University of Michigan, which offered her a full scholarship to their dance program.
