Cher Fast Facts:
Met future performing partner and husband Sonny Bono in a Sunset Boulevard coffee shop in 1962. When they first began to sing together, they called themselves Caesar and Cleo.
Was a backup singer for Phil Spector-produced groups like the Ronettes and the Crystals in the mid-'60s.
One of five actor-singers to have a No. 1 single and win an acting Academy Award (the others are Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Barbra Streisand and Jamie Foxx).
Although initially upset when her daughter, Chastity, came out as a lesbian, she later became a vocal supporter of gay rights, earning the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation Vanguard Award in 1998.
