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.”
