America became delighted and fascinated by this charismatic creature called Cher.
Darling, my sketchpad is ready!
The kid on a tricycle, vowing to be famous.

Bob Mackie
The teenage phenom who crashes by twenty.
The glam TV star who quits at the top.
The would-be actress with an Oscar.
The rock goddess with a hundred million records sold.
The legend whos done it all, still scared to walk on stage.
The wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend.
The woman, looking for love.
The ultimate survivor, chasing her dream.
Theyre all here, dressed to kill, singing their asses off, telling it like it is.
And theyre all the star ofThe Cher Show.
