Cher - Donahue Show (1985) Part 1

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

Cher is *so* patient.

[@KC-eq3rt]

This woman is gorgeous no matter what hairstyle she has, in whatever year. Period... More importantly though, she has inner beauty.

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

And cheekbones :)

YES!👍

She lived her life her own way with no rules. She is a trend setter and does not care what others think. Love her.

[@danseabreeze1404]

WOW, the world has changed SO much! An entire program on Cher's length and color of hair and tattoos! Today nobody cares about someone's hair color, length and tattoos.

[@eric1luv728]

Talk about standing out in the crowd. Those audience members looked like a bunch of Little house on the Prairie extras. If Cher yelled BOO!, they would've crapped their pant suits.

[@eric1luv728]

+NoMoreBrotherWars I don't know about nicer, we're still faced with the issues of yesteryear. I feel that in thise times society was programed to keep it simple and they knew how to pretend very well. Thw audience should have been more diverse than that because they make her look like a side show and I'm sure their were more "Cher's" out at that time. It just seemed so surreal, I mean she "took a risk" by getting a tattoo? He acted as if he was raised by monks. Cher was much younger than the members in the audience, that can't be just a coincidence.

[@ddivincenzo1]

I graduated from H.S. in '83. Doubling piercing of earlobes, Mohawk cuts and tats were avant guard.

living during the 70's, 80's and 90's was so cool.

I think this is the best I've ever seen Cher look, I love this style for her. Just my thought. hehe )

[@MissFlux]

tigergreg8 omg .. yaassss!!! I know you wrote this comment a loooong time ago but I'm just seeing this vid now .. it feels like a whole heap of videos have been cleared for Aust & they're just flooding in! Anyway, as soon as I saw the thumbnail for the vid I was like omg!! Cher looks FABULOUS with short hair. I remember it now .. but had forgotten totally about this phase! :)) xx

[@douglas787]

Skin so tight and smooth, looks like she's 20, but in this video she's about 40.

[@maryrodgers9829]

For any of you posting born after 1980 get real. Society does change over time and you will get a chance to see it as you grow older. Donahue was, for the times, very liberal. The questions he asked were the very things Cher was being chastised for. She was very radical left Sonny and was (god forbid) a single mother. The questions posed by him were the very things she was being chastised for, and he gave her the opportunity to speak out against her opposition like a talk show host should.

[@cherasny64]

people on here judging Phil Donahue. Maybe most of you weren't around during his time on tv.He ruled daytime tv. I'll get a flack for this, but who cares. He could be equated to the male version of Oprah that's how popular his show was back in the late 70's and 80's. He asked hard punch questions of the day. He done a great job at interviewing Cher back in 1985

[@terrencemalbrough5766]

Rick Solimini yes he was king of daytime tv, until Oprah Winfrey's thighs bumped his show off.

[@annainsaudi218]

Until Oprah's talent blew him off the screen.

[@1911beauty]

I love Oprah. But I never loved her show as much as Phill. Phil shrank behind his show. He wanted to ask the questions to illuminate the subject. I love his show. Oprah was opened up a new kind of talk show And changed America for both good and bad. Phil was a journalist of sorts.

This is so funny to watch today lol....Cher was way ahead of her time...Donahue can't get over her look he thought it was outrages..poor thing....short hair and a tattoo whoowhee.....

She really is a great actress. Loved Moonstruck especially.

I agree with another poster here. I love her hair. It's so exotic and I'm tempted to do the same with the real blonde highlights on top. Bravo!

[@jimbecarroll5780]

the parasite drosh413 david wouldn't know beauty if it knocked down his door of his empty mind. your face is AmaZing ! Cheek bones and eyes of a goddess. The unfortunates like this imbecile DROSH413 david has a lot to learn about living their true life. Oh well like Maya Angelou said to me once when I was Letting someone get to me and upset me at an after performance dinner party I was covering. She said sitting with her in a corner of the restaurante, I quote " There are people like us and then there are Ass-Holes" I was like Ohh I get it !! Rise Above the murk ! And you initials they are quite fitting , H D= HIGH DEFINITION !

[@lolitamorris2943]

She is Cher...so talented.

[@majesticbutterfly]

YOU KNOW CHER LOOKED GORGEOUS BACK THEN WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG AND I JUST LOVE HER HAIR CUT SHE WAS AHEAD OF HER TIME BECAUSE NOW IN 2019 THAT IS THE LOOK THAT YOUNG PEOPLE ARE WEARING , I THINK SHE LOOKS BETTER WITH SHORT HAIR THAN WITH HER LONG HAIR

[@zaramariadixon39]

What was this man's problem? ! Seriously like some of his questions were absolutely ridiculous! Who cares what she's wearing or how she chose to style her hair! It's her choice her hair and I have to say I absolutely loved this look on her she was and still is beautiful! She's a LEGEND!!!!!

[@MaleOrderBride]

Love this look on her! She is one of the rare women that can pull-off short hair AND long hair. Not many women would suit that hairstyle. I wonder what her real hair looks like today under all those wigs?...

[@Nolibtards_allowed]

I'm sure it looks like total shit

[@Utube73720091]

Wow I love it it looks totally 80s and she rocks it..

I'm not defending his quite puerile line of questioning, but there's no doubt that it really shows Cher to be incredibly switched on, dignified, self assured and strong.

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

Cher... No man, short hair and a tattoo on her foot. The nerve of her... {My hero}

[@allthatjazzspaz95]

I don't think Donahue is an asshole here... His job on TV was to ask the tough questions. He obviously admires Cher very much, he's just doing what he does.

[@sueekinci7881]

Yeah this was his style of interviewing guests. I loved him and still do

[@Miss_Chick]

Really great!!! Loved it!

[@lorraineb.4698]

‘Mask’ was such a great movie

[@Theresa-b8g]

Mask was legendary, Sam Elliott and Cher, great sound track too!

[@kdmil2002]

Was this really 1985? Donahue's interview questions seem antiquated, like more from the 1950s. There were a lot of edgy people in the entertainment industry in the 80s. Cher was not the most edgy around. However, Cher was a great beauty, no doubt. The question about what Chastity thought about the lesbian role, is very ironic.

[@angeminc]

I was at that taping decades ago. The audience was very disappointed that she was going to be the guest. She actually ended up being pretty cool, and pretty interesting. Now these actors and actresses look anyway they want. They do whatever they want behavior wise. I guess if your a good actor, you do you on your own time.

[@chef1088]

Did she talk to the audience during commercials?

Phil Donahue was a dick here..in the year 2015 people are walking around with tattoos on their face...bet he didn't see that coming...who cares about how she dresses.

[@MrEricSevert]

Its funny how she seemed so bizarre back in 1985, yet by today's standards she's very typical of Hollywood.

[@jennifer_m.8613]

Never ceases to amaze me that this strong, independent woman who keeps reinventing herself was once an incredibly shy and stage frightened girl

[@greenlimabean]

there is no interviewing celebrities in this Donahue style anymore. he was more serious, not kissing their ass, not just promoting their new movie or product. I miss donahue

Interesting when she talked about her daughter

[@maryrodgers9829]

You must be young. Madonna made her debut in the early 80's. Sonny and Cher were the late 60's early 70's when guys with long hair were still getting beat up. Cher was radical for the times.

[@MyFistFullOfDollars]

You have to understand people, he was the first talk show host, and times were different back then-it was the Reagan years.

@QueerSwede1 - you have to understand his age and where he comes from. Different generation from "ours."

[@WangQiZhe]

What an obnoxious interview. Instead of focusing on the film and her career the interviewer just wants to make rude comments about her haircut.

[@QueenBee-mk8xm]

So much of his commentary is on her appearance...it’s amazing... tattoos, hair, leather jacket...so what...how about taking about her talent Also, the question about achievement without being paired...ummm what? So it seems it was assumed you had to be ‘paired’ to be successful or to be happy? So glad we have moved on from such backward thinking.

[@kittydeemime]

Cher is too damn good for this bullshit.

[@SpiritHawk7]

Good lord, this is in 1985? He's such a bigot! He's like going back to the 50's-60's with men's views on women! You can just see it in his body language, how he's trying to press his thought of "this is wrong" or what-not of control over a women through his speech and behavior. Not to mention the way he puts one foot up on the stage, leaning in, and if you know just a bit of psychology, that's a very "I'm male / dominant here" sign like trying to prove himself in charge over her.

[@heartnmouth]

Yrs ago, I use to watch the Donahue show, and thought, I like this guy. But then I grew up, eyes open, & the way he treated her, was like those old white ladies at church.. I noticed he is very uncomfortable w/ her, in his body language and his "pauses".. Most of this interview, is something bad abt Cher.. That is the feeling I get, when I listen to him, pointing out bad things, like nitpicking.. I am uncomfortable, just listening to him, I guess he needs his ratings

[@kensmith4584]
