In the summer of 1991, Madonna hadn’t spoken to the British press in five years. Yet, every detail of her life seemed to be public knowledge—her turbulent relationship with Sean Penn, her controversial music videos, her relentless fitness regime, including the paparazzi pics of her bodyguard struggling to keep up with her jogging,... At that point in time, the world seemed to know everything about Madonna the pop star, but almost nothing about Madonna the person.

That changed with her documentary In Bed with Madonna that chronicles her 1990 ‘Blonde Ambition’ international tour. She broke her silence and granted an exclusive interview to The Face. And for a brief moment, the veil was lifted, and the world caught a rare glimpse of the woman behind the icon.
