“There's a saying among those who work around Cher. If there's a nuclear war, only two species will survive: the cockroaches and Cher.”
/ From The New York Times, March 1999 /
“Cher: she’s so Early Rich! But to paraphrase Cher, “It’s better to be nouveau than no.” Cher as a superstar has an evolution that rests somewhere between the birth of the Barbie doll and the onslaught of Valley Girls. She is a money-to-burn celebrity.”
/ Andre Leon Talley in the 1984 book Mega-Star /
Happy 79th birthday to astonishingly durable veteran showbiz diva, glamazon, perennial gay icon, Academy Award-winning actress, Las Vegas headliner, plastic surgery enthusiast and the fierce Queen Mutha of Pop who will outlive us ALL - Cher (née Cherilyn Sarkisian, 20 May 1946)! If you haven’t read it yet, volume one of her memoirs is a characteristically blunt, straight-talkin’ blast. Pictured: Cher in doll form.
