Oscar-winning actress and award-winning singer Cher will be at the Golden Gate Theatre on December 4, 7:30pm to discuss her new memoir. Her life is so fabulous, this is only part one of two memoirs.
Cher will discuss her decades-long career in music, films, and even the stage plays, with the SF Chronicle's music journalist Joel Selvin.
The only woman to top Billboard charts in seven consecutive decades, Cher is also the winner of an Academy Award, an Emmy, Grammy and a Cannes Fest Festival Award. She's also been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and was recently lauded at the Kennedy Center Honors.
From her early beginnings as a backup singer, she later became a music sensation with Sonny Bono, whom she married. Their variety show in the 1970s, and the short-lived "Cher Show," was followed by her acting career, to the surprise of many.
Her nomination for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in "Silkwood" in 1984 was followed by winning Best Actress for "Moonstruck" in 1988. Despite growing the attention from numerous tabloids for her many romances with men, she continued to push boundaries and defy criticism as she enjoyed a recent music revival, and the continued adoration of LGBTQ fans, with her hit single "Believe." And more recently, a biographical musical featuring her music became a hit on Broadway and with a touring production that recently played in San Francisco.
Tickets, which include a copy of her memoir, go on sale October 10 at 9am at www.broadwaysf.com.
