In 1982 Madonna was "Desperately Seeking" a film role. She auditioned at Troma Studios for a teenage T&A comedy called "The First Turn On." She even designed her own sexy camping outfit featuring some very short shorts. Troma wasn't impressed,thought she couldn't act and Madonna begged them and said she would do anything for the part. They never did cast her and to this day it has been their claim to fame..."We we're the dummies that rejected Madonna!" Madonna wen't on to take over the world with the release of a hit movie and record: "Desperately Seeking Susan" and Like A Virgin."
Anna Levine, who plays Susans friend Crystal, said that Madonna "had a very clear vision of her character, which other people didn't always have, so they left her as Madonna."
The film that Roberta is watching while she's finishing off the birthday cake is Hitchcocks classic "Rebecca."
Originally the part of Susan had been conceived as sort of an aging hippie to be played by Diane Keaton.

Fun Facts
In the beginning some people labeled Madonna as manufactured. Madonna once said,"I was making this movie Desperately Seeking Susan,one of the drivers that took me to the set everyday was this kid, and one day he said to me,"I have this bet going with my friend,he told me that all of your music you do was done by somebody else and they picked the songs and they did it all and all they needed was a girl singer and you auditioned and they picked you. And Madonna isn't your real name and it's all fabricated."And i said, "WHAAAAAT?? Are you out of your mind?? But thats what his friend told him and it suddenly hit me that's probably what a lot of people think. It hit me"
The Magic Club
Although most of the movie was filmed on location in New York and New Jersey, the scenes of The Magic Club and The Diner were set designs.
