I've never seen a more candid and honest interview. The woman is remarkable. We thank her for letting us all into her life.
Simple amazing she is.
Hi Sohnny ixx
I've driven past both of Cher's homes the one in Benedict Canyon & on PCH 1. Both are/were beautiful & exotic, like her👌
What I love most about Cher is her blunt honestly. ❤️
It pays to be brutally honest but it can be dangerous to be honest
@@Davey-TheDJ But Cher being Cher can do it.
@@Davey-TheDJwell if it's truth based then it's hard to be upset. But there Are those you have to weed out
What a beautiful dance of an interview. That’s what happens when Cher meets an experienced interviewer who does his research, reads the book and knows how to listen and when to speak. Good job!
One of the Original Cougars!
Agree!
What a lovely dance of a reply! Loved your comment!
As a writer, l would always say, "Dance with your words...and they will Dance back."
You must be writer😊😘
Agreed! Excellent interviewer and excellent interview. I love Cher and am very excited to get the book(s)! ❤️🌹
A “dance of an interview”… Well said very nice first time to hear a comment like that…
Anthony Mason is a wonderful interviewer. Almost like a therapist. He is genuinely interested in the people he interviews. As for CHER.... a LEGEND. So blessed to see her live. She brings joy to the world!
When she answers a difficult questions...he just says ..yes...next question. He doesnt really respond with compassion.
Cher will always be awesome.
Honest and zero BS
Yup!
This woman has lived the most fascinating life.
Didn't even make high school
IMO, Stevie Nicks has had a much more interesting life
And has been so successful and known throughout the world. ♥️@@sharigraves6385
I LOVE Cher. . . have always loved Cher and will continue to. She is honest, refreshing and trusting. Amazing after all she's been through.
And so multi-talented!
Her honesty has always been so refreshing.
I've loved her since I was a little girl and I always wanted to be her. She is so real and so sweet and so beautiful.
Same!
Always looked forward to Sunday night, Sunny and Cher Show...❤😊
"I always leave first"......because I don't want to be left. WOW!!! POWERFUL STUFF, CHER. This lady is phenomenal.
She says in the book that only person that ever left her was Val Kilmer.
@tonifoster7095 Really. Got to get the book. Thanks.
Freaking amazing. You can't fake
authenticity
Perhaps the best interview of her career; the chemistry between Anthony Mason and Cher feels like a couple of people visiting in my living room. I saw Sonny and Cher in Bakersfield, California when I was 15 years old. They were uniquely one-of-a-kind in a magical era. 🙏🏽 The woman is a survivor.
This was such a good interview. He was not aggressive but he followed up on things. She was honest and not ‘publicist led.’ It was interesting and not just surface crap like a lot of media is now. Truly, well done!
There are very few people who are truly authentic...and she is the Model, the Icon, the person everyoine loves, cherishes and will miss like hell when she is no longer with us. Long Live CHER
I admired her before, and after this half hour, she inspired me. Living a long time does not have to make you irrelevant, as older people are often labeled. Go, Cher.
Cher's a lot more down to earth than I knew before.
You can't help but respect and just can't not like her...she has always been there..and still hanging in there. INCREDIBLE!
Isn’t she a terrible leftist?
@xploration1437 what is wrong with being on the left
@@xploration1437Yes, I think it’s great!!
@@sanford943 nothing wrong with being on the left. The far left however are terrible fascists. She said she was going to leave if Trump won but never did.
@@sanford943 far left are fascists.
I love Cher. She's been in the picture my entire life. She makes me happy and I'm glad she's continuing to do that. Love you, Cher.
Cher’s mama was so right. The girl is beyond special . God bless you Cher!
Anthony Mason’s interview was both thoughtful and insightful. Such a wonderful conversation between two intelligent, empathic people. Cher is iconic. She balances authenticity and vulnerability in a way that few
people can ever achieve.
I love Cher since I was a little girl. She still is the best dressed woman in music and awards show. Absolutely beautiful. Noticed, she doesn’t whine about her past. Boo-hoo, my mom and dad were awful. She was up beat about her life. Love her. ❤
What a great storyteller. I could not stop listening.
This is the best interview with Cher I think I've ever seen! Even though it was concentrated primarily on one specific topic and I've seen dozens upon dozens of interviews over the past 40 years with her, she seems the most relaxed and the most comfortable. And it's just about the best job that ANY interviewer has ever done with her. They have a great and seemingly unrehearsed banter that feels free and in the moment. She actually seems like shes enjoying it. Like catching up with an old friend. This is the way you do it!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You know what we love about Cher? Cher!!!❤❤❤❤❤
What an amazing life and it is still being written. You are the definition of determination.
Cher just keeps getting better and better. What a wonderful, sensitive soul and inspiration to women! Thank you, Cher.❤❤❤
How can you not like a woman who has consistently been so raw and honest about it all? Worth nearly half a billion dollars and yet she acts so humble and real. Vulnerable yet so strong and capable. Younger girls/women could learn a thing or two from this class act...
Yeah....
All the plastic surgery and botox and implants and face lifts and too much make up / hair dye etc.....she's so real and authentic.
They could learn that they don't need all that crap to be beautiful....case in point.
@@JohnBock-nq9lr what is wrong with you???
@@JohnBock-nq9lr way to miss the message. Her appearance is hers to do as she want with it... but in any case, it's irrelevant given cosmetics has absolutely nothing to do with if a person is a genuine/honest/real person at their core. Perhaps try harder to understand the deeper meanings of life and worry less about a persons hair color or make up...
@@JohnBock-nq9lroh, God stop with the botox etc. Grow up. She's a star!!♥️
We've got you, Cher❤
Cher (unknowingly) got me fired. In the 1980s, was the first woman to run a press room backstage at the Academy Awards. I ran the photographers room (otherwise known as "the Animal Room." All was going well. Then came the 1985 Award show. Don Ameche won Best Supporting Actor and the Oscar was presented to him by none other than Cher - in THAT OUTFIT. They came backstage and the Animal Room went wild trying to get photos of Cher - but not Mr. Ameche whom they practically booed out of the room. He was furious. I tried to calm the situation from the beginning but Cher was amazing in that Bob Mackie outfit and she was Cher. Well, they (the Academy) couldn't blame Cher. Sooooo. I really didn't mind, however, as I was starting to have real problems with all the flashing lights from the cameras. And, of course, who can hold anything against a fabulous being like Cher. Or, for that matter, against an aging Hollywood's Golden Age star like Don Ameche. It was supposed to be his night and ..... I'm in my 80s now and it's a fun memory on which to look back.
Fantastic story -- Hopefully, you have a picture of Cher from that time (1985).
That's an amazing story.
I have always loved her honesty and humor (and of course her singing) she is an icon.
So did Don Ameche complain or something? Is that why you got fired? Although what can you do when the photographers want that money shot with Cher? I can understand why Ameche was upset, but that certainly wasn’t your fault.
@@dazzlingdeb8427 He must have. I really have no negative feelings toward him. It was supposed to be his night - his comeback as it were - and she just was who she was and what happened - happened.
I could listen to both forever! She knows how to speak, is very honest and open and funny when becessary. So she had long time to finish the book. She wanted to do it right and be satisfied with the effort. One has to havethe courage tobe open. Great interviewer who did his research.
Cher is everything. So honest. Writing is hard and especially being an honest person but concerned about protecting yourself and those you love.
Can't wait to read the book!
I'll watch anything with Cher.
How wonderful to see a great interviewer
It's so refreshing when a diva lives up to the to honorific yet remains real, down to earth, likeable, and savvy I was a young teen when the Sonny & Cher Show aired and I was transfixed by their on stage rapport...but mostly by her style, her persona. Great interview!
This interview with Cher was beautiful and brilliant!!!!! I love her honesty !!!!!
I’m so glad she decided to tell her story. Of course she is deeply affected by her childhood. She’s a survivor. She’s beautiful and honest, so talented. Thank you for sharing with all of us. I can’t wait to read. ❤
Excellent interview! I’ve been a Cher fan since childhood and that’s one of the most insightful interviews I’ve ever seen of her. Bravo, Anthony Mason!
Boy... watching Cher for all these years. I enjoyed listening to her share her life and she is so open here! It put a smile on my face!
Cher is simply the best
What an eye opening interview. Bravo Cher
What a remarkable woman. I've been following Cher since I was a kid watching "The Sonny & Cher show" she always shows strength & Independence
Cher is just classic. I love this girl. She's right, it was (and is) a terrible time for women, but she flipped people off and said, I'm doing it. Love, love, love, her.
Cher's mother owned a gift store on Brentwood near UCLA when I was a student there. I remember seeing her working behind the counter whenever I went in to buy something.
I had planned on buying her book without seeing her interviews. Cher is a pragmatic, lovable, compassionate woman who has always been open and transparent. Her candor is appreciated.
It is so good
Don't hesitate
5 stars*****
Shes a brave woman to be so authentic.
Anthony Mason is THE ABSOLUTE BEST.
Omg! I was like that too. I was my mom and dad’s mother. Mom had a child like mentality due to childhood trauma. So I was her protector and took care of her mental health.
I was the same with my mom and still to this day
@ I so sorry. It’s such a sad place to be.
She’s the real deal
I ADORE CHER!!!! By chance, she happened to be my very first concert when I was 20 in 2000. I’ve loved her since moonstruck, being Italian. I felt her warmth then, and she continues to inspire me as I age. Godbless Cher. She is a true Queen.
Cher is the real deal. An original through and through.
Fascinating interview. Have loved Cher from the beginning…and always will. Thanks, for loving Chaz & Elijah Blue unconditionally! Will always be a Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves! Rock On, Cher!
She is an incredible human being.
I loved the Sonny and Cher show as a little girl. So glamorous. She is amazing.
Me too. I couldn't WAIT to see what outfit she would wear next. Loved her.
Loved her outfits especially her earrings
She is someone you can listen to for hours without even noticing how time flies.
My favorite performer Cher
I think the real Cher is in her eighties movies: Silkwood, Mask, Suspect, Moonstruck, parts of Witches of Eastwick and Mermaids. Honest, sad, soulful. I once met a couple of old gay fans of hers who said in her show she says, "I take care of my (private space) because my (private space) takes care of me" lol. Turn Back Time is immortal. Long live Cher 🎉🎉
Cher is so great. I could listen to her tell her stories for hours. ❤
Oh, Beautiful Cher. She was in a situationship for years and had no words for it. Sonny breadcrumbed her to keep her around because she was his stability and security, but he lacked the ability to love and appreciate her. I'm glad she was able to keep moving forward without him.
I'll bet being loved by Cher is a wonderful, unique and warm gift that never fades. I'll never forget how she cried and was so heartbroken, speaking at Son's funeral. I was so torn about Gregg after reading his book, and some of the things he said about her. I don't know if she ever got the love and understanding she so wanted and deserved. Most people never do. And of course "Snap out of it!!!" +++Respect+++
When I was a kid in Lawrence Massachusetts I always talk to Sonny and Cher as they waited for the bus
Love Cher!! Grew up listening to her beautiful voice and watching her on TV! As a kid I thought she was the most beautiful woman on TV and still do! I bought her perfume years ago and loved it! I probably still have it with all my other trademark scents over the years! I think it was called "Inhibition"?
She is timeless.
I've always loved her unique voice and style.
Amazing woman.
One of the best celebrity interviews ever...Anthony Mason's questions are superb--more of a candid and honest conversation than an "interview" and Cher...goddess...icon...so funny ("the moment they got with a man they got stupid") and a great lady.
very candid about her troubled childhood I admire her for that
This is a wonderful interview! I love an interviewer who takes the time to read, research and be genuinely interested in the person. Cher is fantastic ❤
I loved the Allman years and the two of them together. They made a beautiful couple. Great interview
You are the best, Cher. Love you to the moon and back.
In my daydreams I’m always living in mid-60’s to mid-70’s, when pop & rock music took top priority above most everything else in my life. Sonny & Cher came along around the peak of it, & are forever engraved in my memories of some of the best, most innocent times of my life. I hope we never lose her or her beautiful contralto, but it’s going to happen sometime, hopefully, far into the future. Considering she’s had to deal with a lot of losses in her life, more than I think I’ve had, she’s doing great. I honestly don’t care if she’s had plastic surgery; a little, or a lot, it doesn’t matter. She’s still Cher. She is as good an actor as she’s been a singer, too.
So true. I loved all the variety shows that we grew up watching in that era. The music of the late 60s and all of the 70s is untouchable.
Of all the things that she has done in her life, her legacy, to me, is that she was one bold, brash, honest, and clear person, no matter who was listening. That is a remarkable feat in this life. But now that we know so much more about the truth of Hollywood in the last several months, it is even more hopeful than anything that someone with integrity can last and still be successful and play by their rules.
I was 9 yrs old when I first watched Cher and Sonny together on tv.
Never missed a show.
Always love to see me some Cher.
Cher is a person to admire and emulate. By this I mean, Cher is her own person and has never tried to be anyone else and THAT is worth emulating!
My mom and I watched every week…she said to me, Cher is so good in these skits, she should be in movies!
Who wouldn’t find Cher attractive?!
She’s gorgeous
Every era of her ❤
We still love you Cher😊
I too suffer from a being abandon. I was raised in other family members home until my brother and I were placed in a beautiful home with loving and caring parents. I kept my relationship with my biological mother. It’s been great and I have forgiven her. She was in a bad place at that time and not mentally stable to raise US. Thank you share for sharing your story.
If I had not stumbled across this interview I wouldn’t have been able to express and share my story. I admire your strength and 9:27 courage. Stay true
Cher-as ever, refreshingly blunt and honest, bright and sharp witted, and funny as hell.
An amazing woman. A great storyteller. I can't wait to read her book😊
Cher has lived a amazing life. i've waited for her book along time. I remember seeing her, and Sonny when I was 13 yrs old. She is one the greatest humans that inspires many.
Val Kilmer once said; Cher leaves a powerful impression on my heart, I will always have her in my heart. i feel the same way about this socially concious, talented women of our time. .
Her personal life makes so much sense now; she was parentified 😢.
Loved the interview. Cheer is a jewel., and looks so beautiful. II had to rewind when she said she was 78. You look fabulous. Her show brings back childhood memories. I have to read the book.
Goodness, what an amazing woman.
Bless her heart
Bless every woman's heart
This interview makes so much sense!
What a ICON!
one of my favorite songs she did . is "Half breed " and she suffered so much for just that reason, and that is so horrible ! God Bless her.
Great song!
She’s such a forgiving person and loving. I have a ex-husband who I’m trying to forgive and it’s very difficult. She’s definitely had a hard life. She made it through the muck. I hope she’s happy.🙏🦋
Sunny Bono was a devil 👹 to Cher.
Great interview! I totally feel for her. You can tell how much she was really in love with Sonny, and probably a part of her did till the day he passed away. Their show was such a huge part of our tv family time every week. I wish that there was a tv channel that still showed it and others like it from those times gone by. I'm thankful that Cher "grew into her own" and was able to have such a great success.
Search UA-cam - there's lots of clips from all the old variety shows, including Sonny and Cher.
Great interview. It was so relaxing. She would be someone to be friends with. She seems so real.
I admire Cher's music career and her beauty . I copied her long hair and kept it super black and even ironed it to keep it looking like hers. .
She’s so sweet, and also grand in her ability to raise above failures of others. It’s not just the talent alone, it’s the strength of her character that “made her” and what makes people look up to her ❤ She’s not flawless but she’s big enough to own it up.
I'm almost 30 and have been a fan since childhood. She is ageing and looking better than I am 😂
I love Cher’s candor, talent, creativity and uniqueness. ❤
Cher is one word "ethereal" - she is the most calm, centered person I've ever listened to
Ethereal wow
Then you might like listening to Tina Turner's interviews as well. And they were very close friends from at least the 1970s until Tina's death.
I love Cher. Been loving her for the last sixty years.
Tho 1 and ONLY Cher ! She's so damn likeable . Honest and yet straight forward . SUPERSTAR
Cher is leaving a wonderful legacy of her life... talented honest and compassionate. Great interview! ❤️
I love Cher...❤❤❤.
Cher is so smart. I have always loved her intelligence and spirit. A lovely woman!!!
Cher is truly ICONIC......an original💜🏳🌈
Anthony let Cher shine!! What a great interview!!
They were so funny together. We watched every week. Great ,great chemistry!!
Cher is, and always has been, an inspiration to me. We should all lives our lives as honestly and openly as she has.
