The iconic singer/actress is calling it quits!
Madonna’s much-maligned acting career appears to be over, with the pop superstar admitting she prefers to be behind the camera on movie sets.
The 53-year-old singer made her acting debut in 1979 and won acclaim and accolades for her role in
Evita, but most of her more recent on-screen efforts have been mocked and hammered by critics.
Madonna was named the Worst Actress of the Century at the 2000 Golden Raspberry Awards and she has also picked up acting dishonours at the prize-giving for
Body of Evidence, Shanghai Surprise, Swept Away and
Die Another Day, among other movies.
Now she's considering turning her back on her acting career after directing her second movie,
W.E. She says, ‘I like directing better. If I write it and direct it, then it's my voice. If I'm the actor, I'm just a pawn.’
