La lettre manuscrite de Madonna à David Letterman en 1994.


Read Madonna's 1994 Letter to David Letterman After Her Controversial Late Show Appearance
2/17/11 at 6:30 PM
By: Kyle Buchanan

Faxed in twelve days after her famously foul-mouthed Late Show guest appearance, it's a much nicer, more self-deprecating letter than her League of Their Own missive.

Love, the anti-christ
Thursday, 17 February 2011

On March 31st of 1994, a highly-charged Madonna appeared as a guest on the Late Show with David Letterman. Over the course of the now-infamous interview she said the word "fuck" a record thirteen times; called Letterman himself a "sick fuck"; asked the host to smell some underwear she was holding; refused to leave the stage when asked; and was jeered by the audience. Her behaviour resulted in numerous complaints, much discussion, and extremely high viewing figures.
A fortnight later, on April 12th - Letterman's birthday - Madonna faxed the following note to his office.

Lettre: Le Président de Millenium Records Jimmy Ienner refuse Madonna.


Letter: Record Exec “Will Pass on Madonna for Now”
1:30 pm Tuesday Jan 25, 2011 by Judy Berman

What is it that fascinates us so much about stories of important artists’ early rejections? Perhaps it’s that they give us hope, or simply remind us that even the incredibly talented among us have to pay our dues. As struggling writers often remind themselves, James Joyce’s Ulysses was passed from publisher to publisher before it finally found a home. Meanwhile, Van Gogh languished in obscurity during his lifetime.
Now, you can add Madonna to that list. That’s right: Millennium Records president Jimmy Iennner made perhaps the stupidest decision of his entire career, writing that while he “enjoyed listening to Madonna” and liked several of her songs, he did “not feel that she is ready yet.” His verdict? “I will pass for now, but I will wait for more.” Of course, Ienner never got a second chance to weigh in on Madonna: Sire released her debut album a few years later, and the rest is pop-music history. Read the letter after the jump.

I do not feel that Madonna is ready yet

1981: Not believing her to be "ready yet", then-President of Millenium Records Jimmy Ienner politely turns down an aspiring singer by the name of Madonna after listening to four or her songs; his least favourite of which - Love On The Run - can be heard above. Her debut album was released by Sire Records just two years later, to mixed reviews.

RE: MADONNA

Dear Alec:

I enjoyed listening to Madonna. The production, arrangements and she are very strong. The direction is a good one, in my opinion. The only thing missing from this project is the material. I liked "I Want You", "Get Up" and "High Society", but I did not like "Love On The Run" at all. I do not feel that she is ready yet, but I do hear the basis for a strong artist. I will pass for now, but I will wait for more.

Good luck and thank you for thinking of me.

Best regards,

(Signed)

Jimmy Ienner
President

Madonna apparently doesn't work well with others. She also hates actresses (and Chicago).

Madonna: "I hate actresses"

Judging by the following letter, Madonna wasn't exactly thrilled when filming A League of Their Own back in 1991. Writing to friend and photographer Steven Meisel - the man with whom Madonna later worked on Sex, the highly controversial book also mentioned in closing - the frustrated entertainer bemoans the lack of "beautiful men" in the city of Chicago, makes known her apparent hatred of all actresses, and calls Geena Davis a "Barbie doll".
Transcript follows. Image courtesy of our good friends at Hard Rock. As always, a visit to the Hard Rock Memorabilia website is highly recommended, as is a jaunt over to their Facebook page. Thanks Jeff!

Dear Steven

For some reason I thought you were angry with me - because I finked out as a judge at the "Love Ball"? Because I'm still nice to Herb Ritts?? Because my hair is the wrong color? I hope you will forgive me for all of the above. Because I cannot suffer any more than I have in the past month learning how to play baseball with a bunch of girls (yuk) in Chicago (double yuk) I have a tan, I am dirty all day and I hardly ever wear make-up. Penny Marshall is Lavern - Geena Davis is a Barbie doll and when God decided where the beautiful men were going to live in the world, he did not choose Chicago. I have made a few friends but they are athletes, not actresses. I hate actresses, they have nothing on the house of extravaganza. I wish I could come to N.Y and visit. Are you having a good Summer? Saw the piece in the N.Y Times Magazine. Great!! - I would love to do this book thing with you so lets talk soon.

THANKS ALOT STEVEN!!

Love Dita

She also calls Geena Davis a "Barbie doll" and finds Chicago lacking in hot guys. Is that accurate?
