Cher ( SHAIR; born Cheryl Sarkisian, May 20, 1946) is an American singer, actress and television personality. Dubbed the "Goddess of Pop", she is known for her androgynous contralto voice, bold visual presentation and multifaceted career, while cultivating a screen persona that mirrors her public image by often portraying strong-willed and outspoken women. An influential figure in popular culture, her continual reinvention has fueled multiple comebacks over a career spanning more than six decades. Cher rose to fame in 1965 as part of the folk rock duo Sonny & Cher, early exponents of the 1960s counterculture, simultaneously finding success as a solo artist. Read more on Wikipedia
