Stone Slams Madonna's Evita Performance

Controversial film-maker [Oliver Stone](https://www.contactmusic.com/oliver-stone) has dismissed [Madonna](https://www.contactmusic.com/madonna)'s performance in 1996 musical EVITA as inadequate, because she could only play the historical figure like a "hooker".

The Oscar-winning director, who had long dreamed of making the [EVA PERON](https://www.contactmusic.com/eva-peron) biopic, admits he made his "biggest mistake" when he failed to see his ambition through.

And Stone was less than impressed when [Alan Parker](https://www.contactmusic.com/alan-parker), who ended up directing Evita, cast pop queen Madonna in the title role.

He says, "The thing about Eva Peron was that she was a hooker and a saint.

"Madonna could do the hooker but not the saint."
