Except for her roles in 'Desperately Seeking Susan' in 1985 and 'Evita' in 1996, her movie performances, were seldom well received.

She has become a well-known face all over the world for her exciting stage and video performances. It was a new symbol of ambiguous feminism.

Her combination of cunning vulgarity and sharp wit made her the best-known woman in the world.

She published her book 'Sex' in the year 1992 which featured exciting photographs of her and others.
