Penny knew about Madonna. Her reputation gave her the moniker of the most notorious woman on the planet. Penny had read in a magazine article that the pop star had an ambition to become a movie star.
Her first movie was 1985's ' Desperately Seeking Susan'. She played a jaded downtown punk princess. She also appeared in ' Shanghai Surprise' ' Who's That Girl' and ' Dick Tracy'.
Madonna went to see Penny. Penny just wanted to see if the pop star could play. Coach Joe Russo told Penny she was trainable. Rosie O Donnell and Madonna became very close friends while shooting the film. Penny nicknamed the two Ro and Mo.
When Debra Winger found out Madonna had joined the cast, she was livid. CAA represented both Winger and Madonna. When Penny got tired of listening to Winger's tirades, she asked Frank Price to take care of the situation. The studio payed Winger about $ 3 million to go away.
One day, Ganz and Mandel told Penny that Geena Davis would love to play Dottie Hinson. Davis met Penny at her house. Right away, Penny could tell that she could play.
Penny had found her Dottie.
