Cher, pseudonimo di Cherilyn Sarkisian LaPierre (El Centro, 20 maggio 1946), è una cantautrice, attrice, produttrice discografica e conduttrice televisiva statunitense. Con quasi sessanta anni di carriera e una voce dal timbro particolare e subito riconoscibile, Cher è diventata un'icona della cultura pop e una degli artisti più famosi e di successo della storia contemporanea, con oltre 100 milioni di dischi venduti nel mondo. Durante la sua carriera ha vinto un Premio Oscar come migliore attrice protagonista per Stregata dalla luna (1987), un David di Donatello come migliore attrice straniera, il Prix d'interprétation féminine a Cannes, un Grammy Award, un Emmy Award, tre Golden Globe e un People's Choice Award per i suoi contributi nel cinema, nella musica e nella televisione. Nel 2018 è stata inoltre insignita del Kennedy Center Honors. Cher è l'unica cantante che possa vantare almeno una canzone al numero 1 della Billboard Hot 100 in sei decenni differenti, dagli anni sessanta fino agli anni 2010. Il suo più grande successo, Believe (1998), con una vendita di oltre 10 milioni di copie, è il singolo più venduto da una cantante donna in Inghilterra ed il singolo più venduto del 1999. Nel luglio 1999, Cher ha raggiunto la posizione 43 nel sondaggio di VH1 100 Greatest Women of Rock & Roll (le 100 più grandi donne del Rock & Roll), e nel settembre del 2002, a 56 anni, ha raggiunto la posizione 26 in quello delle artiste più sexy. In un sondaggio del 2001, la rivista A&E Biography ha classificato Cher come la terza migliore attrice di tutti i tempi, dietro a due dei suoi idoli di Hollywood, Katharine Hepburn e Audrey Hepburn. Secondo la rivista americana Out Magazine, Cher è tra le 12 più grandi icone gay femminili di tutti i tempi.
