Picture Trivia

On the advise, however, of his talent agent, the name was shortened to “Cher,” so that it could easily be remembered. Cher rose to fame as a singer and partner of the singing duo “Bono and Cher.” As an actress, she is not as renowned, although she won an Oscar and a Golden Globe Best Actress Award. This is for her portrayal as Loretta Castorini in the film Moonstruck (1987).
