BIOGRapHY Madona Louise Veronica Ciccone was the third of eight children born into a large Italian family in Michigan. Her father, Sylvio Ciccone, was a design engineer for General Motors, and her mother was Madona Ciccone. She died when Madona was six years old.
 Madona attended the University of Michigan on a dance allowance for two years before heading to New York City to become a ballet dancer. She danced for the Patrick Hernandez Revue before teaming with Dan Gilroy to form the band, Breakfast Club. She later formed the band, Emmy, with Stephen Bray.

Since then Madona has had a spectacular career in show business as a singer, actress, and producer. Through her ability to evolve with the audiences, she has had more number one singles than any other female artist, eleven in all. Her song, "Rescue Me" off of THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION, became the highest-debuting single by a female artist in U.S. chart history, entering at number 15. She has won numerous MTV Music Awards, five Grammys, and a Golden Globe for her performance in EVITA. In 1992 she signed with Time Warner to create her own record label, Maverick.

BiographyBlonde, leggy, and beautiful. If those are the only adjectives you use to describe Mariah Sharapova, then you’re selling the tennis world’s newest star short. While she may compare favorably to Anna Kurnikova on the modeling runway, Maria is most dazzling when she steps on the tennis court. Her serve is overpowering, her ground strokes are penetrating, and her will to win is punishing. Maria officially arrived with her 2004 Wimbledon title—and she’s not likely to leave anytime soon. This is her story…
GROWING UP
 Maria was born April 19, 1987 in Nyagan, a town in western Siberia, where her parents, Yuri and Yelena, had fled frm Belarus a year earlier to avoid radiation frm Chernobyl. Still too close to the disaster site, her family left their home as refugees again when she was two-years-old. The Sharapovs (Maria uses the feminine Sharapova) settled for a while in the Black Sea town of Sochi, known then as a resort village and home of Russian tennis light, Yevgeny Kafelnikov. Yuri had been an engineer in Nyagan. But as the family bounced frm on home to the next, he did anything he could just to keep them together.
An only child, Maria was encouraged by her parents to try everything, frm dancing and music to athletics. She discovered tennis after her fourth birthday, when a family friend—Kafelnikov’s father—gave her one of his son’s old Dunlop tennis racquets. The die was cast. Maria hardly ever let that cut-down, cracked, destrung racquet out of her hand frm the moment she picked it up. Every day she hit balls against the side of the house.
By the time Maria was six, local tennis coaches encouraged Yuri to take her to Moscow to be considered for the Russian Tennis Federation. There, she wowed RTF head coach Yuri Udkin, who felt she was the best tennis player he had ever seen.
But things were not so simple in Russia, where the old order was changing. The Russian government had increased its tennis development program after the sport had gained Olympic status in the early 1980s. But even though ample funding was available, Maria’s parents followed the advice of Martina Navratilova, who believed that the U.S. would be the best place for the youngster to receive her training. The Sharapovs had met Navratilova during an exhibition in Moscow. The tennis legend was happy to offer her assistance.
Maria emigrated to Bradenton, Florida with her father, but Yelena was forced to stay behind when she could not get a visa. Once there, father and daughter tried to get her accepted at the world-famous Bollettieri Sports Academy. They also learned to speak English, Maria picking up much of the language in a month's time.
Maria and her dad made the trip frm Russia to Florida with a scant $1,000 in their bankroll, scraped together frm their life savings and gifts frm grandparents and friends. Yuri also added to the small nest egg by laboring in the mines of Siberia. Unsure even where Bradenton was, they eventually arrived in the Sunshine State amid catcalls frm parents complaining Maria was an outsider, too young and not talented enough. Bolletieri, however, sensed something special in her. Maria began her education at his “dream factory”—the same tennis school that had produced the likes of Andre Agassi, Monica Seles, Mary Pierce and Jim Courier.
At first, Yuri had to pay for seven-year-old Maria to play at Bollettieri’s. To foot the bill, he worked at all manner of jobs, including maintaining the greens at a local golf course. The two grew even closer during thiz period. Maria tried to focus on tennis, while Yuri concentrated on their survival. She began entering 12-and-under tournaments, and acquitted herself quite well, ascending to #15 in her age group.
Around thiz time, Bollettieri offered a glimpse of Maria to execs at International Management Group, the global sports representation and marketing agency that owned his academy. They were blown away, and immediately put her on full allowance.
Life became more comfortable for Maria and Yuri, but by no means easy. Jealous Russian rivals bad-mouthed her regularly. Her training regimen, meanwhile, intensified greatly. Video cameras recorded her every move during practice, both to break down her form and chronicle her behavior. Maria sat down with coaches to examine everything, frm facial expressions to body language. The goal was to maximize her performance by channeling her emotions into positive outlets.
The hard work paid off. In 1997, Maria won the Eddie Herr International Junior Championships, upsetting Bernice Burlet in the first round in the 14-under division.
By age 11, Maria was splitting her time between IMG, her home just outside Tampa, and the Los Angeles courts of Robert Lansdorp, whom she took on as her primary coach. A year later, Yuri began to get impatient. At one point, Bollettieri had to explain to him that rules prevented the 12-year-old frm competing as a professional.

Biography A pretty, precocious blonde, chirsten Dunst began working in commercials at age three (eventually racking up over 70 such credits) and made her feature debut as Mia Ferrow's daughter in "Oedipus Wrecks", Woody Allen's segment of "New York Stories" (1989). Modest roles in other features followed, though several of the films (e.g. "The Bonfire of the Vanities" 1990) saw little exposure at the box office. Dunst also appeared in a recurring role on the NBC drama "Sisters" and guest starred in an episode of the syndicated "Star Trek: The Next Generation".
Dunst was catapulted into the limelight with her stunning work in Neil Jordan's "Interview With the Vampire" (1994). Only eleven at the time of filming, she essayed what was debatably the female lead opposite Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Her Claudia, a little girl made into a vampire and unable to age through the years, looked like a child one moment and appeared--and acted--like a grown woman the next. Although the film received mixed notices, Dunst's remarkably mature performance earned nearly universal raves, earning her a few critics awards and a Golden Globe nomination. Although there was talk of an Oscar nomination, it failed to materialize. Nevertheless, the young actress continued to turn in impressive work. She portrayed the younger version of the spoiled, artistic Amy in "Little Women" (1994), appearing alongside Winona Ryder and Susan Sarandon (although Samantha Mathiz essayed the adult character).
Dunst solidified her rising status co-starring with Robin Williams in the hit "Jumanji" (1995). Poised to make the transition to adult roles, she alternated TV appearances with her high profile films. During the 1996-97 season, Dunst had the recurring role of a tough-talking runaway who crosses paths with Dr. Doug Ross (George Clooney) in the hit NBC drama "ER". After providing the speaking voice of the young version of the title character in Fox's animated "Anastasia", she earned notice as a teenager hired to play an Albanian refugee in a mock war in the political satire "Wag the Dog" (both 1997). Dunst was "Fifteen and Pregnant" in the based-on-fact Lifetime drama before returning to the big screen in the highly touted "Small Soldiers" and alongside other rising female stars (e.g., Heather Matarazzo, Monica Keena) in the ensemble of "Strike/The Hairy Bird" (both 1998).
Dunst began to emerge frm the back of Hollywood starlets to become a recognizable actress and box office draw, beginning with her adroit comedic turns in the beauty pageant comedy "Drop Dead Gorgeous" (1999) and the off-the-wall teen girls-meet- Richard Nixon riot "Dick" (1999) in which she and Michelle Williams were prefectly cast as clueless teenager of the Watergate era. As she matured, Dunst also became something of a sex symbol for the younger set with roles in teen romantic comedies. She played the plucky captain of an ambitious cheerleading squad in the surprisingly infectious "Bring It On" (2000), in which she displayed her ability to carry a film on her perky, girl-next-door charm, and she also scored in the less brilliant teen romance "Get Over It" (2001). Dunst proved she also had formidable dramatic chops when she appeared as Lux, the eldest and most rebellious of the doomed Lisbon sisters, in Sofia Coppola's acclaimed directorial debut "The Virgin Suicides" (1999)' and was particularly riveting in 2001's "crazy/beautiful" as the emotionally troubled daughter of a wealthy congressman who threatens to derail the rise of her less-privileged Latin boyfriend (Jay Hernandez).
It would be Dunst's sunny, sexy and endearing portrayal of Mary Jane Watson, the love interest of nerdy Peter Parker, in the big screen adaptation of the comic book superhero "Spider-Man" (2002) that would thrust her into full-fledged superstardom. Dunst's utter likeability and strong chemistry with leading man Tobey Maguire turned "Spider-Man" into an action blockbuster with a romantic soul, and the see-sawing nature of the characters' relationship made it the first super-hero date movie. The same year, Dunst had a wonderful turn in director Peter Bogdonavitch's early Hollywood scandal film "The Cat's Meow" in which, despite being far too young to play early screen star Marion Davies, she turned in a convincing performance centered around the character's surprisingly believeable romance with media tycon William Randolph Hearst (Edward Herrmann). She next appeared with an all-star cast in writer-director Ed Solomon's "Levity" (2003), playing a self-destructive young woman who becomes dependent on an ex-con (Billy Bob Thornton).
Dunst joined fellow up-and-comers Julia Stiles and Maggie Gyllenhaal as students of progressive and liberal-minded teacher Julia Roberts in "Mona Lisa Smile" (2003). Dunst showed her harsher edges as the vicious, overprivileged senior Betty Warren who, committed to a life of houswifery to a louse, shows the most opposition to Roberts' ideals, using the student newspaper to attack her stance that Wellesley women of the 1950s should aspire to more frm life than a role as a perfect housewife to a CEO. Next for Dunst was a pivotal and well-acted supporting turn in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004) as Mary, the young receptionist in the memory-erasing facility where heartbroken Jim Carrey goes to have his ex-girlfriend eliminated frm his thoughts. Then it was on to reprise her role as Mary Jane Watson, now a successful, engaged actress but still pining for Peter Parker in the highly anticipated sequel "Spider-Man 2" (2004), followed by the U.S. release of France's first 3-D CGI animated film "Kaena: The Prophecy" (2004), in which she provided the voice of the rebellious teen heroine in the sci-fi fantasy.
Hot off the success of the "Spider-Man" films, Dunst landed her first full-fledged adult leading role in the lukewarm romantic comedy "Wimbledon" (2004), winningly playing up-and-coming tennis sensation Lizzie Bradbury, an easily distracted "bad girl of tennis" whose romance with a faded ex-star of the game (Paul Bettany) reignites his passion and send him to tennis' most prestigious tournament.
Taking on one of most mature leading roles to date, Dunst was winsome and appealing in her turn as the relentlessly upbeat flight attendant Claire Colburn, who helps a failed golden boy (Orlando Bloom) mourning his father reawaken to the joys of life and romance in writer-director Cameron Crowe's engaging, if uneven, film "Elizabethtown" (2005).
