Grab your popcorn (young Madonna's favorite food) because this week we're talking about Madonna's blink-and-you’ll-miss-it film appearances.
From a bar crooner in Vision Quest to a fencing instructor with attitude in Die Another Day, we’re breaking down six roles where the Queen of Pop pops in, makes an impression, and vanishes just as quickly. We’ll talk her tightrope walker in Shadows and Fog, the telegram-singing in Blue in the Face, camp witchery in Four Rooms, and sex-positivity in Girl 6.
Are these forgettable cameos, or tiny gems that show off Madge’s knack for stealing a scene? Either way, we’re watching them all so you don’t have to (but maybe you should).
Plus: which cameo deserves a full spin-off? Which one made us cringe? And what does it say about Madonna’s relationship to Hollywood that so many of her roles are... cameos?
Here are links to those performances in case you want to follow along!
