@@patxigarridodelgado6056 obviamente que no, Madonna recién nacía a finales de los 50, Como va a ser una estrella si recién andaba naciendo. Ella es una estrella de los 80s, 90s y 00s.
"Marlon brando, Jimmy dean; on the cover of a magazine" marlon Brando and james (jimmy) dean were actually in a gay sexual affair for years stating when they filmed a movie together. There is actually a famous photo of them kissing in bed. This is the most clever line in the entire song.
The never did a movie together. It's an open secret in Hollywood that Brando is bisexual. James Dean being gay was never confirmed. Elizabeth Taylor did mention though in an interview that she and Rock Hudson both tried to sleep with him. She never did but Hudson did apparently.
Almost every person under Age 40 has no grasp of the founding culture, the magic, the higher art and the business of fame before digital media put mediocre In the palm of your hand.
It's interesting that Greta is mentioned first and she died one month after this song was released Monroe was already dead and Dietrich died next. What a creepy coincidence!
Other interesting omissions were Audrey (she could have written "the Hepburns" to include both), Joan and Elizabeth. Also the list was very female-heavy, lots of male stars like Humphrey and Clark deserve to be there too I think!
It's not like she can mention names in a song for five minutes straight LOL. She has mentioned all of her influences/idols in interviews though, like Diana Ross, Nancy Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Henry Fonda, David Bowie, Lucille Ball and many, many more. She's always showed respect towards the legends
Yes, most are, but several others are not in the song. Most make since but the last picture of Vivian Leigh from the movie Gone with the Wind, a movie from the civil war doesn't fit with the era that Madonna wanted to portray in the song. 1= "Greta Garbo" is the women smoking a cigarette. Swedish born, one of the very few actresses who were able to transition from silent movies to talkies. 2="Monroe" Marilyn Monroe, Singing with an all-female orchestra in the background. The most iconic movies actress of all time. 3="Dietrich" Marlene Dietrich, Feathered hat in front an iron gate. 4="DiMaggio" Joe DiMaggio, closeup of his face turning to the side. The only non actor in the song. Baseball player for the New York Yankees & once married to Marilyn Monroe. 5="Marlon Brando", wearing a suit with white shirt and tie, regarded as the greatest & influential actor of the 20th-century. 6="Jimmy Dean" James Dean, wearing a cowboy hat & taking off his red jacket, American actor who died very young. 7="Grace Kelly", wearing ankle length full white skirt with black V neck top, as well as the close up picture as she leans close to the camera wearing white pearl earrings, an American actress, who later married prince Rainier of Monaco & became Princess of Monaco. 8="Harlow Jean" Jean Harlow, smiling blond woman in middle of two men in uniform. 9="Gene Kelly" wearing a short sleeve blue shirt, American Actor & dancer. 10="Fred Astaire" & "Ginger Rogers" couple standing & then dancing in evening attire. Were considered the best dance couple in the movies. The next two two people are not in the song. First, the couple in the back seat of the car is from the 1950 movie "Sunset Boulevard" Gloria Swanson & William Holden. The second is of beautiful Elizabeth Taylor, in a white strapless gown. 11="Rita Hayworth" Flipping her hair, considered one of the most beautiful actress in Hollywood. 12="Lauren" Lauren Bacall, in a striped dress, known for her distinctive low voice and sultry looks. 13="Katherine" Katherine Hepburn, close up of her face in sequence collar top. Considered the greatest female star of the classic Hollywood cinema. 14="Lana" Lana Turner, with white head band, achieved fame as both a pin-up model and film actress. 15="Bette Davis", wearing off the shoulder evening gown walking up the stairs. Actress with the most Oscar Nominations. The last four movie shots are as follows, Audrey Hepburn, actress (not in the song) wearing a fitted white cap with black gloved hand on her chin. Humphrey Bogart actor (not in the song) married to Lauren Bacall. Rita Hayworth again, dressed in a black satin strapless gown, performing one-glove striptease. & last shot of Vivien Leigh, wearing a red feather gown from the movie Gone with the Wind. If the video would have ended with Madonna instead of Vivien Leigh it would have perfect.
Actually, Rita Hayworth (born Margarita Carmen Cansino), was half Hispanic, as her father was from Spain. And while Spain isn't in Latin America, it's still Hispanic. So please, educate yourself when discussing such controversial topics.
Well the Movie Stars of the classic hollywood era were mostly white and Madonna used them in the video. Yes Madonna used the Dancing act of Vogueing in the video but those are two different topics here
