In The First Time, Cher talks about the many defining moments of her life, from her first memories of her mother to the eulogy of her former husband and singing partner, Sonny Bono. She recalls her first public performance, her first kiss, boyfriend and love affair, aged fourteen. She reflects upon her phenomenal pop career; the stupendous success of Sonny and Cher's 'I Got You Babe'; the meetings with Andy Warhol, The Rolling Stones and Brian Wilson; the switch to Hollywood, and the Oscar for her role in Moonstruck; and her reactions to Sonny's tragic death in 1997.Told in her own inimitable style, with dozens of photographs from her own albums, The First Time is the true story of the events that shaped Cher's life. Frank, funny, surprising, occasionally outrageous, sometimes sad, and always completely honest, it is the ultimate reflection of a luminous star.
