Covering her life and sixty-year career from Sonny & Cher to show-stopping solo performer award-winning actress fashion icon and beyond this is a glorious retrospective of one of the world’s most enduring entertainers Cher.   Commemorating six decades since her first #1 hit in 1965 I Got You Babe captures Cher’s one-of-a-kind life. How many artists can claim to have had a Billboard number-one-single in six consecutive decades had Andy Warhol interview her in bed fought off a mugger in New York City with Meryl Streep and argued time travel with Stephen Hawking? No one but Cher—one of the best-selling and most awarded entertainers of all time. Written by award-winning writer and editor Annie Zaleski this celebration of the fearless down-to-earth “Goddess of Pop” explores key moments in her life and career in words and photos. Among the topics covered: Her 50-year friendship with fellow diva Tina Turner which began in 1975 when they performed “Shame Shame Shame” together. Her story of creating a “revenge dress” with designer Bob Mackie for the 1986 Oscars after being snubbed for a nomination for her performance in Mask. The night in 1989 she made the Navy wish it could “Turn Back Time” by arriving at the USS Missouri to film her video not wearing the coveralls they expected but a barely-there fishnet bodysuit. Cher’s unfiltered social media presence. From classic posts like “BREAKING NEWS: IM BEING BURIED IN MY FISHNETS” to weighing in on issues she believes in such as rallying against Trump’s order to repeal DACA. When Cher learned about Kaavan dubbed “the world’s loneliest elephant.” The creature was kept in chains in a zoo in Pakistan and forced to perform for decades. After fans brought the problem to her attention Cher eventually helped get him moved in 2021 and her efforts were captured in a Smithsonian documentary. Amidst these moments are photo after photo of some of the most eye-popping outfits ever worn in life and on stage. As an avid clothes horse who wasn’t afraid to wear a see-through dress to the Met Gala in 1974 Cher’s many looks will be given their due in this engaging career-spanning retrospective.
