Oh my, today’s birthdays of people I admire because of their talent & longevity of careers: actress Anita Gillette (loved her so much in Moonstruck), dancer-Suzanne Farrell, Oscar winner- Timothy Hutton, favorite funny man- Steve Carell, talented beauty- Angela Bassett, & Broadway, film, TV star, & major talent- Leslie Ann Warren. Add the birthdays of celebrities that have camp value: fun to watch train wreck- Kathie Lee Gifford, Catwoman & nutcase- Julie Newmar, swingin’ songbird Eydie Gorme (she had 27 top ten hits including the #1 song of 1963- If He Walked In to My Life), & the birthday of a very famous gay man from another era- author & archaeologist T. E. Lawrence…
but what do they matter when today is the 51st birthday of the queen of the universe: Madonna Louise Ciccone? She is weeks away from releasing a 3rd greatest hits collection, she is currently on her Sticky & Sweet tour, she has that mad yoga body & she is dating a man young enough to be her son. Madonna continues to reinvent herself & fascinate us. She has had 7 albums debut at #1 & has had 39 top ten hits. As an actress, for every Swept Away & Body Of Evidence there is an Evita, Dick Tracy or Desperately Seeking Susan. As a pop star & entrepreneur she is unequaled. Madonna has earned the love of gay people since 1983.
My Favorite Madonna album is Ray Of Light.My favorite performance is Breathless Mahoney in Dick Tracy.
My favorite moment was standing on David Letterman’s desk & asking him to smell her underwear.
