Desperately Seeking SUSAn Figures (Specials)
Desperately Seeking Susan
Desperately Seeking Susan is a 1985 film directed by Susan Seidelman and
starring Rosanna Arquette and Madonna.
Arquette plays Roberta, a bored
suburban housewife living in Fort Lee, New Jersey who is fascinated with a woman
she only knows about by reading messages to and from her in the personals
section of a New York City tabloid. This fascination reaches a peak when one
such ad with the headline "Desperately Seeking Susan" proposes a rendezvous in
Battery Park with the man who seeks her. Roberta goes to Battery Park too, and
gets a glimpse of the woman, played by Madonna, whose life so fascinates her. In
a series of events involving mistaken identity, amnesia, and other farcical
elements Roberta goes from voyeur to participant in an Alice in Wonderland-style
plot, ostensibly motivated by the search for a pair of stolen
earrings.
