Stone slams Madonna's Evita performance
02/28/2006
Oliver Stone has dismissed Madonna's performance in 1996 musical Evita as
inadequate, because she could only play the historical figure like a
"hooker".
The Oscar-winning director, who had long dreamed of making the Eva Peron
biopic, admits he made his "biggest mistake" when he failed to see his
ambition through.
And Stone was less than impressed when Alan Parker, who ended up directing
Evita, cast pop queen Madonna in the title role.
He says: "The thing about Eva Peron was that she was a hooker and a saint.
Madonna could do the hooker but not the saint."
