<p>Cher was born Cherilyn Sarkisian on May 20, 1946, in El Centro, California. With a truck driver father and an aspiring actress mother, creativity was in her blood. But life wasn’t all Hollywood glamour. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she moved around a lot, struggling with dyslexia in school.</p>
<p>She knew from an early age that she was meant for something bigger. At 16, she left home, heading straight for Los Angeles. It didn’t take long before she met Salvatore “Sonny” Bono, a connection that would change her life forever.</p>
<h2>Sonny &; Cher was A Power Duo in the ‘60s</h2>

<p>Cher’s breakthrough came in the mid-1960s when she and Sonny Bono became the ultimate musical duo. Their song “I Got You Babe” hit No. 1 in 1965, making them instant stars. With their funky style and undeniable chemistry, they weren’t just a musical act. They were a movement.</p>
<p>But Cher wasn’t meant to be just part of a duo. She had a voice that demanded attention. As their marriage and partnership crumbled, she set her sights on something even bigger: Becoming a solo powerhouse.</p>
<h2>Reinventing Herself, Over and Over</h2>
<p>By the ’70s, Cher had already proven she wasn’t a one-hit wonder. She dominated the charts with “Gypsys, Tramps &; Thieves,” “Half-Breed,” and “Dark Lady.”</p>

<p>Then came the ’80s &#8211; big hair, bigger ballads, and a full-blown rockstar moment. “If I Could Turn Back Time” cemented her status as a legend. She strutted across the USS Missouri in a leather bodysuit, proving she could take risks no one else would dare.</p>
<h2>Cher the Actress</h2>
<p>Music wasn’t her only talent. Cher hit Hollywood and conquered it like a queen. Her performance in “Silkwood” (1983) showed she had serious acting chops, earning her an Oscar nomination. Then came “Mask” (1985), “The Witches of Eastwick” (1987), and the unforgettable “Moonstruck” (1987), which won her an Academy Award for Best Actress.</p>
<p>With her signature deep voice and natural charisma, she proved she could do more than just sing. She could make audiences laugh, cry, and fall in love with her over and over again.</p>
<h2>The Queen Made a Mindboggling Comeback</h2>
<p>In 1998, when everyone thought she had done it all, she dropped “Believe,” and the world lost its mind. The song introduced Auto-Tune to mainstream music, became a global sensation, and turned her into a dance-pop goddess.</p>
<p>However, she didn’t stop there. Cher took over Las Vegas with a residency that sold out night after night. She toured the world multiple times, proving that no matter how many years pass, fans still can’t get enough of her.</p>
<h2>A Fashion Icon Like No Other</h2>

<p>Cher doesn’t follow trends. She makes them. From her dazzling Bob Mackie gowns to her outrageous Met Gala looks, she’s never been afraid to push the limits. She wore sheer before it was cool, rocked headpieces like a queen, and turned every red carpet into her personal runway.</p>

<p>At 78, Cher is as unstoppable as ever. She is still making music, still performing, and still proving that age doesn’t define talent. She recently dropped her Christmas album, showing she’s still got the magic touch.</p>
<p>Above all, she is also a passionate activist, speaking up for LGBTQ+ rights, climate change, and animal welfare. She is a voice for change, using her platform to make a difference.</p>
<p>With her signature sass, powerhouse vocals, and fearless attitude, Cher remains the Goddess of Pop. And as long as she’s around, she will keep reminding the world why she’s simply one of a kind.</p>
