>In a 2017 episode of Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live!, a caller asked LuPone, who originated the role of Eva Peron in Evita on Broadway, if she ever had a conversation with Madonna about taking on the part for the 1996 movie. “The only thing that Madonna ever said to me was, ‘I’m taller than you,’” LuPone said, recalling meeting the pop star for the first time at the movie premiere’s after party.
>Host Andy Cohen followed up by asking LuPone what she thought of Madonna’s performance in the movie, to which LuPone iconically replied that she saw a music video for the “Buenos Aires” number on TV: “I thought it was a piece of s—.” LuPone continued. “Madonna is a movie killer,” she said. “She’s dead behind the eyes. She can’t act her way out of paper bag. She should not be in film or on stage.”
