Madonna lived in relative squalor in New York and held down a number of minimum wage jobs, including one at Dunkin' Doughnuts. She soon joined Alvin Ailey's 'Dance Troupe' in the city and earned a wage by modelling – some of the shots were nudes which have since surfaced in magazines and online. The above modelling picture dates from 1979.
