Unknown footage from a candid photo shoot 18-year-old Madonna

On August 16, 1958, one of the brightest and most extraordinary stars, Madonna, was born. This woman has become an icon not only of music, but also of fashion, style, and challenge to social stereotypes. But what do we know about Madonna before she became a world celebrity? Exclusive and little-known images of the 18-year-old future queen of pop, which will tell something new about her.

Before Madonna became famous, she worked as a model for artists and posed nude for several photo shoots. At the age of 18, Madonna Louise Ciccone, then a dance student at the University of Michigan, posed for $10 an hour for photographer Herman Culkens in 1977. It is unlikely that then the photographer understood that this dark-haired, thin girl with a daring look would become one of the most famous and successful performers of her time with a fortune of $ 560 million.

Some shots from these photo shoots were published by Playboy and Penthouse magazines in the 1980s, but most of them never saw the light of day.
