About this Event
CHER: ON FILM
Singer. Actress. Academy Award winner. Icon. During the 1980s, Cher surprised audiences and critics alike by reinventing herself as one of Hollywood's most compelling screen performers. This seven-film retrospective showcases the roles that revealed new dimensions of a beloved superstar—funny, vulnerable, resilient, romantic, and unforgettable. As Cher prepares to release Cher: The Memoir, Part Two this fall, we're turning back time to revisit the films that transformed a music legend into a movie star.

COME BACK TO THE 5 & DIME, JIMMY DEAN, JIMMY DEAN (1982)
Director: Robert Altman
Co-starring Sandy Dennis, Karen Black
Before Silkwood announced her dramatic talents to a wider audience, Cher gave one of her earliest major film performances in Robert Altman’s intimate ensemble drama. As Sissy, a spirited member of a James Dean fan club reunited with old friends twenty years later, Cher brings warmth, humor, and surprising vulnerability to a story of memory, identity, and the secrets we carry with us. Adapted from the Broadway production in which Cher also appeared, the film offers a fascinating glimpse of an actress just beginning to reveal the dramatic range that would soon transform her career.
