The two had a close relationship, which actually helped O’Donnell book her second movie: Sleepless in Seattle.
I recently spoke to Rosie ahead of the release of Sleepless in Seattle’s 25th anniversary addition, where she revealed how Madge helped her get the supporting role in Nora Ephron’s classic romcom.
One such actress who learned this early on is Rosie O’Donnell, who is currently starring in Showtime’s new hit show SMILF.
Rosie’s first movie role was in the iconic baseball classic A League of Their Own, where she shared a ton of scenes with pop star Madonna.
