CHER

There is no doubt that Cher is one of the most acclaimed stars in the entertainment industry. Her countless contributions to music and the arts have paved the way for many aspiring dreamers. The beginning of her mile-long career was in the duo Sonny and Cher with her then-husband Sonny Bono. Together, they went on to release hit singles such as I Got You, Babe, A Cowboy’s Work Is Never Done, and The Beat Goes On. However, Cher defied the once male-dominated industry with the launching of her solo career.

The now 74-year-old Cher did not only rule the music charts. She has more than a couple of acting credits under her name. Among the list of films that she starred in are Mermaids, Burlesque, and Moonstruck. Her artistry has inspired generations of artists, including Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, and Christina Aguilera. She is also a notable trendsetter in the world of fashion and has been considered an icon of the LGBT community.
