Lucille Ball gave the singer some sage advice about Sonny Bono – something Cher reveals she paid forward to Tina Turner.
When Cher first broke from husband Sonny Bono, there were many doubters who didn’t believe she could sustain a career on her own.
Born Cheryl Sarkisian to an aspiring actress mother and a heroin-addicted father, Cher’s childhood was chaotic and itinerant. Her mother Georgia wanted to be a movie star but was undone by the toxic men in her life, including Cher’s father who abandoned them penniless. It was Georgia’s tenacity – hawking used furniture, living in garage apartments, leaving Cher with relatives – that saw the two make it to the other side.
But times started changing, and Sonny & Cher became square during the rise of rock ‘n’ roll. A monogamous, loudly anti-drug couple, the two pivoted to television to instead entertain middle America.Despite the happy exterior, however, the relationship began buckling under Sonny’s self-destructive impulses and need for total control.
