Cher blew away the music industry with her contralto singing voice and as one half of Sonny & Cher. However, the “Goddess of Pop” also enjoyed numerous great accomplishments in the film industry winning an Oscar for Moonstruck.
But as the Grammy winner looks back at her first critical and commercial success role in Mask, the EGOT winner has brutally honest things to say about the film’s director, Peter Bogdanovich.
During Cher’s interview with The Times to promote her new memoir “Cher: The Memoir Part One,” she got real about directors she didn’t like working with.
One was Frank Oz, originally set to direct Mermaids until clashes with Cher caused him to abandon the project. But, the “Believe” singer had more brutally honest things to say about Peter Bogdanovich who directed her in Mask: “He was an asshole,” said Cher. “He was not nice to the girls in the film and he was so fucking arrogant.
I really, really disliked him.” In Mask, Cher played the drug-addicted biker, Rusty, who’s the mother to a son with craniodiaphyseal dysplasia.
