NEWTON: "Madonna is a gifted actress"
Actress reveals unconventional opinion
THANDIE NEWTON has defended MADONNA's ill-received movie career - insisting the pop superstar is a talented actress.
The Crash star says many critics underestimate Madonna's acting skills - and that she will be remembered as a talented thespian.
The Holiday hitmaker won critical acclaim for 1985's Desperately Seeking Susan and in 1997 landed a Golden Globe award for her role in Evita. But her acting career has also been plagued with a string of box office flops including 2002's Swept Away.
But Newton says, "Actually I think Madonna is a great actress and it's only in years to come will people see that. But for me, she is truly gifted."

She may well be 50, but Madonna is proving she doesn’t look a day over, erm, 49. The uber-fit Material Girl sung, danced, skipped and flipped her way through old classics and new tracks at London’s Wembley Arena at the weekend, in front of thousands of adoring fans. With a back drop of a 50ft Britney Spears, the re-invention queen and mother-of-three commanded the stage for more than two hours as part of her Sticky And Sweet world tour, which is hitting 37 venues in just under four months. But Britney wasn’t the only famous face to put in an appearance… check out our gallery and see if you can spot anymore in the crowd… See it...
