“Grateful for the success of Madame ❌, that my script is almost finished, and for the support of my beautiful children!” she captioned a series of selfies showing her sitting in front of her typed screenplay.
The selfies in the post showed pages from the script including two scenes that appeared to be from pivotal times in her career.
One looked to be from 1979, when Madonna was the drummer of a band called Breakfast Club alongside Dan and Ed Gilroy, who played with her on the stage of CBGB in New York City. The other appeared to be from 1990, the year of her Blond Ambition World Tour.
