Cher’s father was an Armenian-American truck driver who was never home and her mom was a little-known musician. Her family kept migrating to different states and this made her lonely since she’d not be around long enough to make any friends. Perhaps this reality of getting uprooted and planted before a new set of strangers is part of the reason she turned to song writing.
At the age of 16, she ran away from high school, went away in Los Angeles, and met Sonny Bono, who became both her manager and husband.
