Madonna is to play a transvestite in a new film.
She will play Candy Darling in the film - still to be named - for free reports The Sun.
Candy starred in films made by Andy Warhol in the Sixties and early Seventies and was the inspiration behind songs Candy Says and Walk On The Wild Side by Lou Reed.
A source said: "Madonna has been desperate to make a film where she can earn respect for her acting abilities. She is still trying to shake off the bad publicity from the movie Swept Away. She sees this as her big chance.
"She said she would do anything for the part and has agreed to work for free."
