Cher’s Filmmaking Experience
Cher has often shared candid insights about her experiences in the entertainment industry, and recently, she opened up about the challenges she faced while working with certain directors. In a detailed interview with the U.K.’s Times, Cher discussed her acting career and specifically highlighted her difficulties with two filmmakers. She expressed her displeasure with Peter Bogdanovich during the shooting of the 1985 film ‘Mask’. Describing him as unpleasant and arrogant, Cher recounted an incident where Bogdanovich questioned her suggestions on set, undermining her presence and ideas blatantly. This clash underscores not only the specific challenges she faced but also highlights common issues of power dynamics and respect in the film industry. Moreover, Cher’s experience with Frank Oz while working on 1990’s ‘Mermaids’ was equally tumultuous, leading to a situation where she demanded his replacement. These instances reflect Cher’s resolve to stand up for herself in a demanding and sometimes disrespectful industry environment.
