Hey friends, I haven't posted in a while but I have been perusing this beautiful forum (and I mean beautiful - love the colors and layout for November) to
get my "Cher fix". Anyhow, I have something to Cher with all of you...
I've been reading the autobiography of actress Maureen McCormick ("Here's The Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice") and there's a Cher mention of when the two met back in 1972, at a benefit for the Actors Guild of Variety Artists at Caesar's Palace. She writes...
"It was our first public appearance [as a musical act]. Ed Sullivan hosted, and the headliners included Sonny and Cher, Lily Tomlin, Danny Thomas and [circus star] 'Edwin the Elephant'. I was enamored of Sonny and Cher.
I couldn't take my eyes off Cher. It was the first time I had been around a woman who thoroughly mesmerized people, who commanded your attention with her looks. We were introduced to her backstage. She was with her daughter Chasity, a tiny blond cherub with her mother's expression.
Eve [actress Eve Plumb] held Chasity's hand and sweetly asked 'Can you say elephant?' Before she could respond, Cher cracked, "She can say a hell of a lot more than elephant, that's for sure!"
(For those who might not know who McCormick is, she played 'perfect' Marcia Brady on the sitcom 'The Brady Bunch' from 1969-74. Eve Plumb played her younger sister 'Jan', who was envious of Marcia being so perfect. Jan's most famous line: "All I ever hear is Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!")
