Cher is an American singer, actress, producer, author and philanthropist. She has been honored with numerous worldwide awards and accolades recognizing her success in music, television, fashion and film, both as a solo artist and as part of Sonny & Cher. She has also been honored for her humanitarian and charity work. She has won an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, an Emmy Award, three Golden Globe Awards, and the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival, making her one of few artists to have received those top honors. Cher is also the only artist to date to have achieved a number-one single on a Billboard chart in each of the past six decades. Cher is a Tony Award away from achieving the EGOT status (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) which is considered the "grand slam" of American show business.
