Cher is always a good interview because she is herself, honest, and as open as she wants to be

Cher is so good in interviews because she always tells it like it is – or of she doesn’t want to, she’ll say none of your business.

When I watch her interviews, and I have been watching them for a long time, she always seems to know who she is and what she’s about.

In addition to being so damned talented and delivering fabulous entertainment on stage, on records and on screens large and small, I think that’s why she has remained an in-demand showbiz icon for more than 60 years.

On her 80th birthday, I’ve selected five interviews that I think are worth watching – or rewatching.
