Cher is very patient answering friendly to all those stupid questions about hair color and about why it ought to be so unusual that she's being taken seriously as an actor.
Cher talking about her 71 year old grandma working out, as if that's a big deal. It's 2020 - Cher is 74, and the only reasons she isn't on her world tour right now is because of a deadly virus. Cher is fucking amazing!
At that time, the power cut was in the early stages of becoming widely sought out by regular folks. Before the power cut was the long layered hair look. A.K.A. the Farrah Fawcet look. At this time the power cut was mostly worn by people who lived more and closer to metropolitan areas as opposed to rural and southern areas. Career women in, or seeking, positions of authority. Creative people, artists, musicians, alternative lifestyle people, youngsters were the first to adopt this hair style. Coloring ones hair multi color or not thoroughly covered was not the norm. Women typically didn't get a tattoo. In that era, you were greatly judged by your appearance in comparison to todays expectations of what was considered acceptable. If you wished to be taken seriously, you dressed the part, you looked the part, you walked the part, you acted the part. Unless ones lifestyle goals were somewhere in the artistic arena, the common woman wasn't going to get too far with this hair style choice, and fashioning visible tattoos. What your seeing here was tame in comparison to how you see people expressing there individualism and sense of style like we see today. I felt Phil was attempting to be sensitive and respectful to his guest while addressing the obvious. Cher is much more respected in this era than she was then. No way am I comparing her to Lyndsey Lohan or Britney Spears. There is NO comparison! In that era, Cher was fodder for late night talk shows. This is an artist who wished to be taken seriously. In that era, her appearance wasn't backing up her words. Look at her body of work. She put up. She delivered. She understood theatrics better than the viewers. Her appearance had nothing to do with her craft of acting. Back then the news covered the news. Celebrities were covered in tabloid publications. Cher was highly sought after for tabloid coverage. Phil was pointing out to the audience, how are we the general public supposed to take you seriously when you are dressed so differently than society would consider acceptable. We see you all over these magazines flaunting around with numerous different younger men. (Which is basically some of what she was attacked for in the tabloids). These were questions Phil had to ask on behalf of his viewing audience. Cher was the gracious, humorous guest. She didn't verve from who she was. I found her answers acceptable. She owned herself. I'm believing, in some way, she encouraged Phil's viewers to also be true to who they were in there lives, sitting in their homes contemplated the challenges they faced in their lives. In their relationships, on their jobs/careers. In that era, terms like "authentic self" weren't yet being bandied around.
Shit interviewer or not, it's important to understand that when this was taped, Phil was the ONLY interviewer - meaning he was the first and at that time his was the only regular talk show on tv. I think Oprah came on board (talk show) that year or '86, but Phil was pretty much the only forum where people could talk openly about their lives. That is something young people take for granted.
Dick Cavat Show, Dinah Shore Show, Mike Douglas Show. There were others. Phil's method of taking phone calls from viewers, and running the microphone to the audience was a new concept in daytime talk shows.
It is truly unfathomable, the more I learn about such a lower possibility of developing or trying to - men's - power for its own sake, that vanity of pride - hysterical beyond "desperate"? or pure and natural in discrimination and rage for the opportunity, of the built-up... culture (noone! policing all this ever acknowledged once, believe it or not by the least true standard other than gawking for that turnaround), thinking it's unthinkable - for a gay person who even just happens to be what they are in mind (as these normal and real in time tracks of not yet parallel evolutions of the reality of an existence) - to have one for an age as someone as though! that had anything more to do with being a king! than anyone else - just of the light beings. And its been an obvious unreal focus of an obsession, to not allow anything, and it's the real... deal, not what limitless stripping of someone's life and everyone in their life of every last moment and part.
Upgrade/change in level of propganda up from the parallel 35% worse Nile flow of civilizations of 15,000 years ago less thoughtful/immediate in assessments. What a counter-price! of an accusation/assumption.
Brilliant woman. Icon of holding her own!
I love that she praised working with the great Sandy Dennis

Liked her better with Sonny

Thank you! Amazing!

She said ""I probably won't have red, black. and blonde hair in one year ever again."" Now she does that and more in one concert
Those are wigs. What she was saying is she wouldn't be treating HER hair again.
I remember seeing this back in 85. she was plugging "mask'
Goddess.
@dannyboimadonnamost - i believe he is asking questions that the average person would want to ask.
Where is part 6 ?
