On November 10 1998, Madonna met her favourite actress of all-time, Jeanne Moreau, during an interview on the TF1 French series Sacrées Femmes. During the show Madonna promoted the Ray Of Light album with a performance of Drowned World/Substitute For Love. The show also included the following guests: Jean Paul Gautier and Patricia Kaas.
Madonna tweeted the following on July 31 2016 about that special meeting:
“Remembering this magnificent day when I first met my favourite actress Jeanne Moreau. She died today. There was no one like her.”
Drowned World/Substitute for Love-best album opener of any Madonna album!
Jeanne Moreau in “Bay of Angels” was the inspiration for Madonna’s 2009 “Blame It On Rio” photo spread for “W” Magazine.
