Unseen stills from a candid photo shoot of 18-year-old Madonna (16 photos)

Today, 10:00

On August 16, 1958, one of the brightest and most extraordinary stars of all time was born – Madonna. This woman became an icon not only of music, but also of fashion, style, and the challenge of social stereotypes. But what do we know about Madonna before she became a global celebrity? We present exclusive and little-known photos of the 18-year-old future queen of pop, which will tell you something new about her.

Before Madonna became famous, she worked as an artist's model and posed nude for several photo shoots. At age 18, Madonna Louise Ciccone, then a dance student at the University of Michigan, posed for $10 an hour for photographer Herman Kulkens in 1977. Little did the photographer realize that this dark-haired, slender girl with a daring gaze would become one of the most famous and successful performers of her time, with a net worth of $560 million.

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