Are Madonna and Debi Mazar still friends?

Debi Mazar is an actress, best known for her role in Goodfellas and Madonna a pop icon and one of the best-selling musicians of all time have been friends since the 1980s.

Debi Mazar shared in an interview with PEOPLE in May 2022, that she and Madonna have been able to maintain their close bond since they first met in New York City more than four decades ago.

“It’s a very personal relationship,” says Mazar. “People always ask me about Madonna. She’s a dear friend. She’s a very good mom and a good person.”

The two met at the Danceteria nightclub in the 1980s, when Mazar was still an unknown actress doing makeup to make ends meet and Madonna was an aspiring singer.

They exchanged phone numbers after Madonna asked Mazar if she would do her makeup if she ever got the chance to shoot a music video.

In the years that followed, Mazar not only did Madonna’s makeup for some of her music videos, but also appeared in several of them, including “Papa Don’t Preach,” “True Blue,” “Deeper and Deeper” and “Music.”
