CHER: ON FILM
Singer. Actress. Academy Award winner. Icon. During the 1980s, Cher surprised audiences and critics alike by reinventing herself as one of Hollywood's most compelling screen performers. This seven-film retrospective showcases the roles that revealed new dimensions of a beloved superstar—funny, vulnerable, resilient, romantic, and unforgettable. As Cher prepares to release Cher: The Memoir, Part Two this fall, we're turning back time to revisit the films that transformed a music legend into a movie star.

TEA WITH MUSSOLINI (1999)
Director: Franco Zeffirelli
Co-starring Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Joan Plowright, Lily Tomlin
By the time she appeared in Tea with Mussolini, Cher had already established herself as a major screen presence, allowing her to approach the role of Elsa Morganthal Strauss with remarkable confidence and restraint. Beneath the character's elegance and wit lies a woman shaped by resilience and compassion, qualities Cher reveals with subtlety and grace. Viewed today, the performance stands as one of the most mature and understated of her film career.
