At the age 16 Cher dropped out of high school and had her first brush with stardom when she was involved in a minor fender-bender with Hollywood lothario Warren Beatty.Her career spanned for four decades. Cher has left an indelible mark on the entertainment business and shows no signs of slowing down. She is now headlining at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas for 3 years, alternating with Bette Midler and Elton John.
Cher has been her legal name since 1979, when she petitioned a court to have her middle and last names officially dropped. In 1990, Bono & Cher's daughter Chastity came out as a lesbian. Cher says she "went ballistic" at first, but within weeks she came to view her daughter's girlfriend as "a son-in-law." Cher has since become active with Parents, Families & Friends of Lesbians & Gays (PFLAG), and admitted to having had lesbian affairs herself in the 1970s.
As an Academy Award winning actress, Grammy winner, writer, fashionista, and all around legend, Cher has proven to be one of the world’s most enduring entertainers. Her three-year long Farewell Tour was one of the largest selling tours by a female artist. The glitz and glamour that is Cher continues to dazzle audiences young and old making millions believe.
