As fans know, Cher and her mother had a very close relationship, with Georgia often accompanying the star on the red carpet at Hollywood events. While Georgia watched the eldest of her two daughters rise to fame in the 60s as part of the duo Sonny & Cher, and later as a critically acclaimed actor, she had her own dreams of being in the entertainment industry. She ended up landing a few bit roles during her youth, most notably on popular TV series I Love Lucy and Ozzie and Harriet.
When ABC News asked if she was at all jealous of Cher’s success, Georgia replied that she was nothing but “thrilled” for her baby girl. “And I don’t think I would have been as good as she is … I don’t think I was equipped, strength-wise, to do it,” she confessed.

But in real life we get along great. He’s fabulous and I don’t give men qualities that they don’t deserve.” Two weeks prior, she echoed the sentiment, tweeting, “On paper, this looks strange, even to me.” Notably, Cher’s ex-boyfriend from 2008, Tim Medvetz, was 25 years younger than her.
