Material Moll

Madonna and Beatty?

A Madonna rep tells us--and production sources confirm--that the blond bombshell will play ‘30s nightclub singer-gangster’s moll Breathless Mahoney opposite Warren, who has the title role in the long-delayed “Dick Tracy.”

As Breathless she’ll sing at least two original songs, yet unwritten. And she’ll attempt to seduce the straight-laced copper away from lady love Tess Trueheart, who is yet to be cast.

Beatty produces/directs the $30 million-plus Touchstone film, to begin production in February, to be filmed on the Universal lot, according to sources.
