Cher shares scoop on TCM Co - Hosting Gig

Cher sat down with TV Guide for an interview on her upcoming special A Woman’s World: The Defining Era of Women in Film, a collection of 17 classic movies — handpicked by Cher on Turner Classic Movies.

TV Guide Magazine: A few years back we did a cover story on you and I remember you telling me how you’d throw these dinner parties at your house — even Thanksgiving dinners — and never come downstairs to see your guests because you were too busy up in the bedroom…
Cher: Watching Turner Classic Movies! [Laughs] And it’s still true. I’m glued! I’m responsible for turning my publicist, Liz Rosenberg, into an aficionado. I make her come to my house and we lay on my bed watching old movies on TCM for hours and hours…and pretty soon it turns into days! Unbelievable! I never get tired of seeing the same movies over and over. I just watched The Best Years of Our Lives for what’s probably the thousandth time. It’s such a perfect movie that I can’t stand it! I don’t know what to do with myself.

TV Guide Magazine: We always think of Cher as being very forward thinking and groundbreaking. How does that square with the Cher who is so happy to escape into the past?
Cher: But the past is groundbreaking! That’s what’s so exciting about this series of films about women I’m hosting with Robby Osborne. [Laughs] I called him Robby on the set and I hear the crew is still busting his balls about it. I had so much fun with him. Anyway, these films reflect a time when women really had power in Hollywood. They were filling theaters across the country! It was a very progressive era.

TV Guide Magazine: So what happened? Why are women still the second-class citizens of the movie biz?
Cher: By the time the ’50s rolled around it all turned back into a men’s game. Well, it’s alwaysbeen a men’s game but, for a while there, women were just too strong to f–k with! Now the movies are so action-oriented. It’s all about men blowing up stuff. They give Helen Mirren a machine gun [in Red] and call it progress. Comedies seem to be where women have more of a chance these days. Romances used to be a great place, too, but there aren’t too many of those anymore, unless you’re a vampire. Then it’s a great time for you!

TV Guide Magazine: Wasn’t it still pretty brutal for the great women of that era — Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Barbara Stanwyck?
Cher: So many of them stopped making quality films after they passed their thirties. Lana Turner was a huge star who went on to some really bad breaks. She took a percentage of Peyton Placeand made a fortune but, in order to keep her career alive with that film, she had to do the thing actresses most hated to do — play the mother of a grownup daughter. And she didn’t make too many more movies after that. It was so hard for these women to reach the point where they were no longer the love interest. Joan Crawford was fired from MGM when she was way too young to be fired for being too old. But then she went on to play Mildred Pierce — again, the mother of a teenage daughter — and she won an Oscar. I guess the lucky ones were those who weren’t ever leading ladies, the character actresses like Beulah Bondi, Spring Byington, Agnes Moorehead, Gladys Cooper. They never stopped working!

TV Guide Magazine: Did you steal from the stars of that period when you became an actress?
Cher: Oh, hell, yes! I can’t even tell you what I took from those great women because I must have taken everything. I was a sponge. [Laughs] Like Agnes Gooch.

TV Guide Magazine: If you could go back to that era in a time machine and have your pick of leading men, who would it be?
Cher: Dana Andrews. I know that probably seems obscure but you’ll know what I mean if you see him in The Best Years of Our Lives or in Laura. I guess there are reasons he has gone so unrecognized — there was alcoholism and what have you — but he was a genius. Just extraordinary!

TV Guide Magazine: Didn’t you try for years to produce and star in a remake of that old Dorothy McGuire fantasy The Enchanted Cottage.
Cher: I tried for a million years and couldn’t get it made. Francis Coppola even said to me, “You need to make this movie. Give it all your energy.” But when I had the rights, I couldn’t find the right writer. Then I lost the rights, then got them back again and still couldn’t find a writer. I may be too old to do it now but it would still make a fabulous movie. I also always wanted to remake A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Oh! And also On Borrowed Time, the one with Beulah Bondi and Lionel Barrymore, and that little kid who was such a great crier. What was his name? He was also in Boys Town. Bobs Watson! And they had Sir Cedric Hardwicke walking around as Death! Fantastic. See, I know my stuff.

TV Guide Magazine: Didn’t doubt it. So you never feel guilty about how much time you spend watching old movies?
Cher: Are you kidding? Never! But I do watch a hell of a lot. In fact, when there’s a movie on TCM that I haven’t seen before, it truly shocks me because, at this point, I’ve seen everything. How can you not appreciate these great old films? It’s like owning a diamond and going, “Well, s–t, that thing’s so old. Who wants that?” [Laughs] Yes, these movies are old but, damn it, they’re diamonds!

Dear Mom, Love Cher Lifetime Special

Lifetime will premiere the documentary ‘Dear Mom, Love Cher,’ revealing the extraordinary life story and perseverance of Cher’s mother, Georgia Holt, on May 6 at 10 p.m. PT/ET.

Lifetime announced today that it will air Dear Mom, Love Cher, an hour-long documentary Cher has executive-produced about mom Georgia Holt, on May 6 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

Dear Mom, Love Cher provides a rare peek into Cher’s family history and features interviews with not only with Holt and Cher, but also Cher’s sister Georganne LaPiere Bartylak, and Holt’s grandchildren Chaz Bono and Elijah Blue Allman, promises Lifetime.

The documentary begins with Holt’s beginnings in rural Arkansas and runs through her six tumultuous marriages while pursuing a career among Hollywood’s elite as a singer and actress.

Dear Mom, Love Cher includes a never-before-heard duet performance with Holt and Cher, along with the long-lost recordings Holt taped more than three decades ago that Cher has re-mastered for commercial release later this year.

“This project started as a gift for my mom’s 86th birthday,” says Cher, 66, in the release, adding: “Like most things in my family, it was initiated by my sister Georganne, who asked me if I could update mom’s album. So I went BIG (I’m known in the family for doing that),” said Cher. “My sister and I are proud of our mom and we want to share her with the world. My mom is EXACTLY like ‘Rocky.’ She NEVER gives up! Well…if we must nit-pick, they aren’t totally alike. Rocky is a fictitious boxer and mom’s a singer. He’s younger and a man. Other than that they are the same person! FIGHTERS.”

Breakfast Interview with Cher

Patricia Sheridan from the Post Gazette caught up and Cher, chatting about her career and upcoming projects in this candid interview..

Cher has been entertaining new and old fans for five decades. She began her career sharing the spotlight with her then husband, the late Sonny Bono, singing numerous hits, including “I Got You Babe,” on their popular television show, “The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour.” Their daughter, Chastity, underwent a sex change operation and is now Chaz. Cher also has a son, Elijah, with ex-husband Gregg Allman. The multitalented entertainer went on to win an Academy Award for “Moonstruck” as well as appearing in “Silkwood” and “Mask.” Now 66, she is coming out with an album later this year and on Friday at 8 p.m. will join Robert Osborne as a guest programmer to debut TCM’s “Friday Night Spotlight” series with “A Woman’s World: The Defining Era of Women in Film.”

LISTEN to this interview.

Do you remember the first movie that really moved you?

“Dumbo.” I was 4 years old. It changed my life forever because I looked up on the screen and said, “That’s what I’m going to do when I grow up.”

So did fame turn out to be everything you thought it would be?

Actually, I didn’t think I wanted to be famous. I mean, at some point obviously I did. I looked up on the screen and I wanted to be up on the screen and be an actor. I just knew I wanted to sing and dance and be silly up on the big screen and have everybody sitting in the audience clapping.

So has fame been what I thought? I had no [expletive] idea what it was going to be, you know? There are a lot of times it’s wonderful, and I get to do things I would never be able to do and meet people. Like last night, I was working on my album and I was in heaven because it was so much fun, and I still love that. I still love acting. I love being on stage. I love it. And it has some really bad down sides, too.

When you don’t want the attention and it continues.

And you go someplace and you totally forget. Like you don’t think and all of a sudden there are people everywhere, and they ruin your life. They ruin it for you and everyone else who is with you. You forget. I forget. I’m always forgetting.

Sorry!

I'm sorry i know i'm a little far behind on all the Cher news but i'm gonna post it as soon as possible ;)
