Everyone has heard of Madonna. She is one of the best-known celebrities

the writer, and now… Madonna the mother! Madonna’s daughter, Lourdes,
has begun to appear on TV and in magazines alongside her mother.

But the thirteen-year-old is being shielded from the public eye by her
protective mother. Madonna won’t let her daughter be put under pressure
by the media, and she controls her budding career as a celebrity.
There is a rumour that she stopped Lourdes taking part in a Harry
Potter film.
