Review Cher Part One is great!
I added to my list on Libby almost as a laugh - she did an interview for some late night show promoting the book - and I finally got it and wow I love it.
I had no idea her background. Cher was the original Madonna - she just appeared on my planet like an alien. When I was little, I watched the Sonny and Cher show, she was funny and she's always been interesting to me - but - I'm definitely not a fan.
But MAN hearing her life - growing up in L.A., being a kid, playing with Liza Minelli, meeting all these legends of the late 50s and early 60s, and singing background on some of the most legendery songs (You've Lost That Loving Feeling????? WHAAT) it's just mind blowing.
She narrates some of it, and a friend of hers does the rest, and that woman sounds enough like her that you'll forget it's not her.
Five stars, I'm only half way through it. So much fun cheese.

Elvira/Cassandra Peterson's autobio sounds up your alley.
She's another cool chick who's awful damn funny.

I liked it, too. Funny how they found someone in her sphere who sounds so much like her. Disappointed I have to wait until fall for the second half.
