Born Cherilyn Sakasian LaPierre.Vocals.
Started her career as a backing singer for The Ronettes at a 1963 session. The producer (Phil Spector)'s assistant was Sonny Bono and he was soon guiding her career. By 1964 they were married and releasing singles as a duo (See: Sonny & Cher).
Although the hits had dried up by the late sixties, the pair hosted their own highly successful TV series, a feat that Cher was to emulate after their divorce in 1974.
A brief marriage to Gregg AlIman of the AlIman Brothers Band followed but her solo career didn't recover until 1979 with the single, "Take Me Home". The eighties saw her biggest hits mainly done in a hard melodic rock style. Slick videos and minimalist clothing contributed to her success.
She also broadened her career into acting with a string of screen successes that led to several Oscar nominations. Her performance in 1987's "Moonstruck" won her that year's award for best actress.
