" Into The Groove" became a huge hit for Madonna, as did the movie itself. She had negotiated a deal where she would provide a song for the movie. Though many felt that while Arquette's performance was central to the movie's success, Madonna made the movie into a mainstream hit. She starred in Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) alongside pop singer Madonna, for which Arquette won a British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) for her supporting role. Her first starring role was in John Sayles's film, Baby It's You (1983), highly regarded by Rotten Tomatoes reviewers but not widely distributed. However, she was unhappy with the film's nude scene, remarking in an interview that the idea of the general public seeing her naked made her feel uncomfortable and exploited, and that most of the offers she had received since demanded that she similarly expose herself. She earned an Emmy Award nomination for the TV film The Executioner's Song (1982). Her siblings, Richmond, Patricia, Alexis, and David, all became actors as well.Īrquette has appeared in both television and screen films.
