The 1980s witnessed Cher's transformation into a top Hollywood star, as she launched an acting career that was both critically and commercially successful. She earned an Oscar nomination for her role in Silkwood and was in such demand by mid-decade that she appeared in three films in 1987 alone. Throughout, she remained a prime target for the tabloids, not least because of her romance with Rob Camilletti, a man who was 18 years her junior. Also in 1987 she reinvented her musical career, signing on with former boyfriend David Geffen's new label and churning out eight hit singles in the next six years, including "If I Could Turn Back Time." In 1988 she won the Best Actress Oscar for her performance in Moonstruck.
In the Nineties an exhausted Cher reduced her workload in both film and music. She started her own hair-care and home furnishings business and produced fitness videos. Her entrepreneurship was criticized by many in Hollywood, and she was no longer offered choice film roles. Her music career also faltered, only to be resurrected in 1998 with the huge hit, "Believe," which remained at the #1 spot for four weeks. The album of the same name became her best-selling album of all time. And in 1999 she once again earned rave reviews for her acting in the Franco Zeffirelli film Tea With Mussolini.

Very cool. I have always liked Cher too. She's had a lot of good songs. More than anything, I've always like her for her and her personality. She has a great sense of humor about things too. Great thread!.
