Cher was born in El Centro, California, on May 20, 1946, at 7:25 a.m. Her father, John Sarkisian, was an Armenian refugee who worked as a truck driver.[12] Her mother, Georgia Holt (born Jackie Jean Crouch [13] in Sharp County, Arkansas on June 20, 1927), an aspiring actress and occasional model, is of Cherokee, English and French descent. Cher's half sister is actress Georganne LaPiere.[14][15] Cher's parents divorced when she was young and she was raised primarily by her mother, who at one time was married to Gilbert LaPierre, a banker who adopted Cher.[12] Due to financial problems, Cher's mother temporarily placed her in foster care. Later, her mother provided money for acting lessons to help further her career.[16] Due to severe, undiagnosed dyslexia, she left Fresno High School at age 16. [17] In those years, Cher had a brief relationship with Warren Beatty.

Thanks Glenda. I remember reading some of this and wondering what was on every one's social security card.
