Sonny was married before he met Cher, and he has a daughter from this marriage. Cher was actually his second wife. He later married, on the rebound, his secretary from the TV show around the same time Cher married Gregg Allman. This marriage lasted all of 6 or 7 months. Mary was his last wife, and after Cher, the woman he was with longest.I think he has a son and daughter from this last marrage-so a total of four kids, one from his first wife, one from Cher and two from Mary.

Quite right. Men like Sonny actually do not see their wives as equals, and that is the problem in a nutshell. In my opinion, Cher did what she had to do, what allot of women have to do, to escape a controlling, domineering jerk.
I always felt Cher was way to good for Sonny...still do..
So I'm bias...had a crush on her since the 70's

Aw! That's cute!
Sonny was a good guy, he wasn't a jerk at all. Cher was a kid, who knew nothing much
at all, only how to sing. I'll say it again, she would been have nothing without him, he helped her
become what she was, I don't think a jerk would have done that. He wasn't the one who broke
up their marriage, she finally grew up and decided to fly on her own.
Those who followed her career when she was at her highest, know her from that point on,
so you can thank sonny that she got that far to begin with. They were a good couple, they
were happy for a number of years. Yes, he did all the "work" made all the "arrangements" wrote
many of their songs, he was a very talented guy within his own rights. He shouldn't be trashed
for being who he was, which wasn't a "jerk", he wasn't a bad person, just very ambitious and
hard working and successful, and she was the recipient of that hard work, she became successful
because of him, and she would be the first to say that.

My husband has been in love with her since the 1960's
Used to say he wanted her to leave Sonny so he could marry her. Well, she did leave Sonny in the 1970's, but too late for my old man because he was already with me:-(
yep she was cute and good looking on the Sonny and Cher show..Her hubby would call her down during the monolog, sure it was an act but I kept thinking..she's so nice..she looks so good and he's so mean to here.....big time crush!!! think I was 15 hehehe!!!
ME TOO!!! I adored Cher as a young teenage boy. We must be around the same age Ottawabill!
And you know something, I found her much sexier with Sonny than without him. Back in those days, she wasn't only sexy, but classy. Not at all like her, shall we say, more trashy side we've seen since she left Sonny.
Gypsy's tramps and theives hahahaha!!!
crushes were Cher, Jan Brady..not Marsha and err ready ..the Baroness in Chitty Bang Bang hahahaha!!

I was a "Marsha man". My sister, 3 years younger than me, get ready, was a DONNY OSMOND girl....drove us all nuts......"Cos you're just sweet and innocent...to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
I especially hated him because he was a year older than me, and already a "superstar":-(
OMG you are all so OLD!
What's that sonny? You have to speak up, Ottawabill and I are trying hard to hear you
Sanctus, love this whole "looking back" things you've been posting. Hope you keep it up with more. The memories are great! anyone else agree?
i still am trying to figure this out. like, where was her mother when she moved in with this older guy? im 17 and if i told my mom i was in love with a guy in his 30s and might move in with him, i think shed kill the guy. anyways, one of my friends had a boyfriend that was 24 and she was 16. when her dad found out last summer it was a big frickin' deal.i thought he was gonna kill the guy. i wonder why so many older guys want to be around teenage girls anyway?
You make an interesting point that goes even beyond the Sonny and Cher story. In other words, ages for dating. As a father of an almost 18 year old girl myself, I can promise you I'd not be happy if she made the choice Cher made at 18. But nowadays many teenage girls dress and behave like young women in their 20's, so maybe they are asking for this sort of trouble?
