Cher is the next music legend set to receive the biopic treatment.
The “Goddess of Pop” announced the news ahead of her 75th birthday on Thursday. Five-time Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, A Star is Born) is writing the film, which will be distributed by Universal.
Roth will have no shortage of source material to pull from. A multi-hyphenated entertainer whose career spans seven decades, Cher has found success in music, as one of the best-selling singers of all time, both as one-half of Sonny and Cher and as a solo artist; and in film, as an Oscar-winning and Emmy-wining actress known for roles in Moonstruck, Silkwood, and Mama Mia! Here We Go Again. She is also a fashion icon, a revered figure in the LGBTQ+ community, and a staunch activist and philanthropist, who literally just saved an elephant.
