Cher is 75 years old now, but back in the day, she knew what her life trajectory was supposed to be. Cher always wanted to be an actor, and she moved to Hollywood before she turned 18. There, she met her first husband, Sonny, who was able to get her a job in the industry. She began focusing on her career full-time in the 1980s. She then became a practicing musician, and she's still succeding regularly.
