If this was the first time she returned to the places that haunt her memories (Star Motel, etc), she returned there with cameras on her, possibly unable to truly process all of it. You can see the underlying emotion she's trying to hide as she talks about nightmares, loneliness, tears, lack of familiarity. That must have been the toughest time of her entire life, and she's unable to truly let it in, in the moment. Being a megastar celebrity is tough in its own way, folks. Wouldn't any of you rather wish that you could have time to yourself in that hotel room, to reflect and weep, by yourself?
Madonna, you past true so much misery.... You have very a lot of courage, determination and take some decision to get true it... I admired what you did and you pesonnality
37:25 Here, Madonna says that a photographer came across her while she was hanging out with kids outside her apartment building. Got her number. His mother wanted to meet her, a casting director. Led to her role in Desperately Seeking Susan. But, Richard Corman tells a different story in a 2013 interview; How was your first meeting with Madonna ? You were one of the first ones to perceive the potential of the Material Girl, what attracted you to her ? I was introduced to Madonna by my mother, Cis Corman. At the time she was casting Martin Scorcese's "The Last Temptation of Christ," and was considering Madonna to play the Virgin Mary. She described Madonna as an absolute "Original" whom I had to meet and photograph. The first meeting was magical. As soon as she leaned over the banister of her Lower East Side walk-up building and I saw those remarkable eyes, I knew at that moment she was special. Also, the director of the movie, Susan Seidelman claims to have known Madonna without the help of the casting director at all! -- "How did casting the Susan part come about? "We first started out going the more traditional route, auditioning young up-and-coming actresses. I remember some of them were like Ellen Barkin, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Melanie Griffith. They were all wonderful. But for me, coming out of downtown Manhattan, I had enjoyed working with Richard Hell, I thought it would be good to work with somebody who had a persona. I thought maybe we should look at the music sector to see if there was somebody there who could be interesting. Living downtown about two streets away from Madonna, I knew who she was. She had a video on MTV, I could see she had something. So I talked Orion into letting me do tests with her, and the screen test was successful. They liked her. During the nine and a half weeks that we were shooting, her “Like a Virgin” album got released and it was like watching a skyrocket. She was on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and watching that rise so quickly was fascinating. By the time we were in our last week of shooting, there was security and all the things that are needed when you shoot with stars on the street" - Director Susan Seidelman. " So.. who's telling the truth/recollecting history correctly?
