Cherilyn Sarkisian La Pierre, 20 May 1946, El Centro, California, USA. Her father had problems with drugs and was arrested during her childhood. She only met her father when she was 11 years old. Cher began working as a session singer in an attempt to finance an acting career. She recorded with producer Phil Spector as a backing vocalist having become romantically attached to his studio assistant and PR man Sonny Bono. With her professional life as a singer and actress now scrutinized by the mass media, as well as the added intrigue of her love life and public fascination for her penchant for cosmetic surgery, Cher has become one of the great American icons of the modern age. Her powerful voice is often overlooked amidst the AOR glitz and perfect skin. It was no surprise that her "farewell" tour of 2002 grossed over $70 million, although fans refuse to accept the word farewell. (http://www.angelfire.com/tx/cherbarbie/bio.html)
