built 650 days ago
Madonna's hoped-for dramatic breakthrough continued to elude her: the over-wrought melodramas "Body of Evidence" and "Dangerous Game" (both 1993) quickly disappeared. She made cameo appearances as a hooker in Woody Allen's "Shadows and Fog" (1991), as a singing telegram girl in Wayne Wang's "Blue in the Face" (1995), portrayed a witch in Allison Anders' segment of the critically lambasted "Four Rooms" (1995) and briefly appears as a phone sex veteran in and Spike Lee's "Girl 6" (1996). Madonna was cast in what many feel was a role she was born to play, the Argentine First Lady Eva Peron in Alan Parker's film musical "Evita" (1996).
