For any of you posting born after 1980 get real. Society does change over time and you will get a chance to see it as you grow older. Donahue was, for the times, very liberal. The questions he asked were the very things Cher was being chastised for. She was very radical left Sonny and was (god forbid) a single mother. The questions posed by him were the very things she was being chastised for, and he gave her the opportunity to speak out against her opposition like a talk show host should.
people on here judging Phil Donahue. Maybe most of you weren't around during his time on tv.He ruled daytime tv. I'll get a flack for this, but who cares. He could be equated to the male version of Oprah that's how popular his show was back in the late 70's and 80's. He asked hard punch questions of the day. He done a great job at interviewing Cher back in 1985
I love Oprah. But I never loved her show as much as Phill. Phil shrank behind his show. He wanted to ask the questions to illuminate the subject. I love his show. Oprah was opened up a new kind of talk show And changed America for both good and bad. Phil was a journalist of sorts.
WOW, the world has changed SO much! An entire program on Cher's length and color of hair and tattoos! Today nobody cares about someone's hair color, length and tattoos.
Talk about standing out in the crowd. Those audience members looked like a bunch of Little house on the Prairie extras. If Cher yelled BOO!, they would've crapped their pant suits.
+NoMoreBrotherWars I don't know about nicer, we're still faced with the issues of yesteryear. I feel that in thise times society was programed to keep it simple and they knew how to pretend very well. Thw audience should have been more diverse than that because they make her look like a side show and I'm sure their were more "Cher's" out at that time. It just seemed so surreal, I mean she "took a risk" by getting a tattoo? He acted as if he was raised by monks. Cher was much younger than the members in the audience, that can't be just a coincidence.
tigergreg8 omg .. yaassss!!! I know you wrote this comment a loooong time ago but I'm just seeing this vid now .. it feels like a whole heap of videos have been cleared for Aust & they're just flooding in! Anyway, as soon as I saw the thumbnail for the vid I was like omg!! Cher looks FABULOUS with short hair. I remember it now .. but had forgotten totally about this phase! :)) xx
the parasite drosh413 david wouldn't know beauty if it knocked down his door of his empty mind. your face is AmaZing ! Cheek bones and eyes of a goddess. The unfortunates like this imbecile DROSH413 david has a lot to learn about living their true life. Oh well like Maya Angelou said to me once when I was Letting someone get to me and upset me at an after performance dinner party I was covering. She said sitting with her in a corner of the restaurante, I quote " There are people like us and then there are Ass-Holes" I was like Ohh I get it !! Rise Above the murk ! And you initials they are quite fitting , H D= HIGH DEFINITION !
This is so funny to watch today lol....Cher was way ahead of her time...Donahue can't get over her look he thought it was outrages..poor thing....short hair and a tattoo whoowhee.....
I'm not defending his quite puerile line of questioning, but there's no doubt that it really shows Cher to be incredibly switched on, dignified, self assured and strong.
YOU KNOW CHER LOOKED GORGEOUS BACK THEN WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG AND I JUST LOVE HER HAIR CUT SHE WAS AHEAD OF HER TIME BECAUSE NOW IN 2019 THAT IS THE LOOK THAT YOUNG PEOPLE ARE WEARING , I THINK SHE LOOKS BETTER WITH SHORT HAIR THAN WITH HER LONG HAIR
What was this man's problem? ! Seriously like some of his questions were absolutely ridiculous! Who cares what she's wearing or how she chose to style her hair! It's her choice her hair and I have to say I absolutely loved this look on her she was and still is beautiful! She's a LEGEND!!!!!
Love this look on her! She is one of the rare women that can pull-off short hair AND long hair. Not many women would suit that hairstyle. I wonder what her real hair looks like today under all those wigs?...
I don't think Donahue is an asshole here... His job on TV was to ask the tough questions. He obviously admires Cher very much, he's just doing what he does.
God bless you Cher for opening the doors for woman. What a pig for calling her out on her style and not acknowledging her incredible talent and hard work. That would be considered sexist and rude today.
I was at that taping decades ago. The audience was very disappointed that she was going to be the guest. She actually ended up being pretty cool, and pretty interesting. Now these actors and actresses look anyway they want. They do whatever they want behavior wise. I guess if your a good actor, you do you on your own time.
there is no interviewing celebrities in this Donahue style anymore. he was more serious, not kissing their ass, not just promoting their new movie or product. I miss donahue
Was this really 1985? Donahue's interview questions seem antiquated, like more from the 1950s. There were a lot of edgy people in the entertainment industry in the 80s. Cher was not the most edgy around. However, Cher was a great beauty, no doubt. The question about what Chastity thought about the lesbian role, is very ironic.
Phil Donahue was a dick here..in the year 2015 people are walking around with tattoos on their face...bet he didn't see that coming...who cares about how she dresses.
You must be young. Madonna made her debut in the early 80's. Sonny and Cher were the late 60's early 70's when guys with long hair were still getting beat up. Cher was radical for the times.
she is so down to earth ans still is has this attitude till this day...many other divas out there need to take a leaf from chers book...you dnt have to be a bitch to be succesful
Good lord, this is in 1985? He's such a bigot! He's like going back to the 50's-60's with men's views on women! You can just see it in his body language, how he's trying to press his thought of "this is wrong" or what-not of control over a women through his speech and behavior. Not to mention the way he puts one foot up on the stage, leaning in, and if you know just a bit of psychology, that's a very "I'm male / dominant here" sign like trying to prove himself in charge over her.
Yrs ago, I use to watch the Donahue show, and thought, I like this guy. But then I grew up, eyes open, & the way he treated her, was like those old white ladies at church.. I noticed he is very uncomfortable w/ her, in his body language and his "pauses".. Most of this interview, is something bad abt Cher.. That is the feeling I get, when I listen to him, pointing out bad things, like nitpicking.. I am uncomfortable, just listening to him, I guess he needs his ratings
donahue is just so strange . who cares about her hair its not even extreme in the least, its 1985 the age of punk billy idol, madonna, etc who cares. He's got to be the biggest square that ever lived.
So much of his commentary is on her appearance...it’s amazing... tattoos, hair, leather jacket...so what...how about taking about her talent Also, the question about achievement without being paired...ummm what? So it seems it was assumed you had to be ‘paired’ to be successful or to be happy? So glad we have moved on from such backward thinking.
At first I thought QueerSwede's comment was unfair but as I listened I was surprised by the criticisms about her look, her decisions and her uniqueness.

Cher is *so* patient.
She lived her life her own way with no rules. She is a trend setter and does not care what others think. Love her.
This woman is gorgeous no matter what hairstyle she has, in whatever year. Period... More importantly though, she has inner beauty.
And cheekbones :)
Woman? Rotflmao
@@judywinder405 and what's your excuse ?
@@judywinder405 I know, she's a GODDESS rather than a fugly woman like you.
These shows are like a time capsule.
YES!👍

Rick Solimini yes he was king of daytime tv, until Oprah Winfrey's thighs bumped his show off.
Until Oprah's talent blew him off the screen.

I graduated from H.S. in '83. Doubling piercing of earlobes, Mohawk cuts and tats were avant guard.
Average folks, much like you are Eric1Luv. Don’t be so judgmental.
Eric 1Luv, you said it.
Skin so tight and smooth, looks like she's 20, but in this video she's about 40.
She was always a pioneer. Love that she is CHER
living during the 70's, 80's and 90's was so cool.
I think this is the best I've ever seen Cher look, I love this style for her. Just my thought. hehe )

Cher never needed anyone. She was great in Mask!!!!
When she talked about chastity she had no idea
Love love Cher inside and out.
I agree with another poster here. I love her hair. It's so exotic and I'm tempted to do the same with the real blonde highlights on top. Bravo!

She looks good any style she wears
Her hair looks awesome here! Who woulda thought she had a cool hair cut at one point!
This is so funny to watch today lol....Cher was way ahead of her time...Donahue can't get over her look he thought it was outrages..poor thing....short hair and a tattoo whoowhee.....
She really is a great actress. Loved Moonstruck especially.
I love that hairstyle! You go gurl! 💙💙💙
I'm not defending his quite puerile line of questioning, but there's no doubt that it really shows Cher to be incredibly switched on, dignified, self assured and strong.
Wow I love it it looks totally 80s and she rocks it..
The hair looks fine but this was 1985
YOU KNOW CHER LOOKED GORGEOUS BACK THEN WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG AND I JUST LOVE HER HAIR CUT SHE WAS AHEAD OF HER TIME BECAUSE NOW IN 2019 THAT IS THE LOOK THAT YOUNG PEOPLE ARE WEARING , I THINK SHE LOOKS BETTER WITH SHORT HAIR THAN WITH HER LONG HAIR
Stunning!!
She is Cher...so talented.
She's the only normal person there
How anyone found this guy charming is beyond me
What was this man's problem? ! Seriously like some of his questions were absolutely ridiculous! Who cares what she's wearing or how she chose to style her hair! It's her choice her hair and I have to say I absolutely loved this look on her she was and still is beautiful! She's a LEGEND!!!!!
80s Cher!She always has been on trend then & now!!
Love this look on her! She is one of the rare women that can pull-off short hair AND long hair. Not many women would suit that hairstyle. I wonder what her real hair looks like today under all those wigs?...
I'm sure it looks like total shit
Remembers me of my mother in that same era. Classy women!
Really great!!! Loved it!
I wish someone would post her 1980 appearance when he was still in Chicago...
She looked the best in this hairstyle
Look at all the wigs and costumes she wore on her show Sony and Cher, looked good wearing anything
I loved her hair like that
I love you CHER! MY FAVORITE FOREVER!!! 💞💞💞
‘Mask’ was such a great movie
Goddess of Reinvention 👏
Cher... No man, short hair and a tattoo on her foot. The nerve of her... {My hero}
this look is HOT!! i love cher
Her face looks so beautiful and natural
ICON.
Love Cher’s hair here 😁🇨🇦🇨🇦
I don't think Donahue is an asshole here... His job on TV was to ask the tough questions. He obviously admires Cher very much, he's just doing what he does.
Yeah this was his style of interviewing guests. I loved him and still do
Mask was legendary, Sam Elliott and Cher, great sound track too!
Cher is so intelligent!!
She looks Gorgeous!❤
That;s the problem. You are benfitting from the changes in society brought about by people like Donahue giving women a voice.
She is an original, comfortable in who she is now. What an icon!
Good actress
tattoos werea novelty back then especially for women , now you see virtually most young ppl with at least one tattoo
super sweet woman
I love Cher but one thing I wouldn’t call her is sweet
God bless you Cher for opening the doors for woman. What a pig for calling her out on her style and not acknowledging her incredible talent and hard work. That would be considered sexist and rude today.
She looks gorgeous.
I love the 2 tone hair:)
I was at that taping decades ago. The audience was very disappointed that she was going to be the guest. She actually ended up being pretty cool, and pretty interesting.
Now these actors and actresses look anyway they want. They do whatever they want behavior wise.
I guess if your a good actor, you do you on your own time.
Did she talk to the audience during commercials?
This is my favorite Cher look. Way ahead of her time.
Its funny how she seemed so bizarre back in 1985, yet by today's standards she's very typical of Hollywood.
R.I.P Phil!
I agree totally cher was it..
I can’t believe he spent half the interview on superficial bs when an extraordinarily interesting person is on his stage.
You have to understand people, he was the first talk show host, and times were different back then-it was the Reagan years.
there is no interviewing celebrities in this Donahue style anymore. he was more serious, not kissing their ass, not just promoting their new movie or product. I miss donahue
greenlimabean I'd say Wendy Williams is of the same bread.
greenlimabean That's true, I think this type of talk shows went out with Oprah.
***** lol sorry. She is a hot mess.

I use to have my hair like this....I'm about do it again
Phil Donahue was a dick here..in the year 2015 people are walking around with tattoos on their face...bet he didn't see that coming...who cares about how she dresses.
No shows like his anymore. And I loved moonstruck
Interesting when she talked about her daughter
She looks incredibly bad ass here.
My Diva.
Never ceases to amaze me that this strong, independent woman who keeps reinventing herself was once an incredibly shy and stage frightened girl
You must be young. Madonna made her debut in the early 80's. Sonny and Cher were the late 60's early 70's when guys with long hair were still getting beat up. Cher was radical for the times.
When people dressed to sit in the audience of a talk show...
Eric Gregorio I
Nothing's changed
Good point
Sher is and always was a smoke show she is 80 and still smoken hot she will be world first hot 100year old
i've never saw Cher with short hair
Belhou She wears lot of wigs.
I saw that movie, it was sad. Very well done though.
OMG she just called Rocky Dennis very ugly at 1:18! That's horrible!
I don't like how she called him ugly.. Different sure but ugly.. no.
The lady at 3:00 is living for her story lol
she is so down to earth ans still is has this attitude till this day...many other divas out there need to take a leaf from chers book...you dnt have to be a bitch to be succesful
I had that same hairstyle as a teenager - we called it 'Streaks' I had brown hair & had blonde streaks.
thumbs up 4 the hair
🥰😘😍❤️🦋
awew...thanks for sharing; I never saw this before !!
Is Donahue not wearing a wig right now?
Cher had her head screwed on tight at this point in her career.
1st x seeing Cher w short hair
Cher is too damn good for this bullshit.
Ugh, she got a haircut! Get over it Donahue... time to move on and talk about the brilliant movie, Mask
Interesting when she talked about her daughter
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@QueerSwede1 - you have to understand his age and where he comes from. Different generation from "ours."
Phil Donahue is a total dork/nerd..I mean like it or not Cher is an amazing entertainer .
When was 1985?
A very conservative time.
Men get really WIERD when it comes to hair especially.cher
She is so known for her long black hair
What an obnoxious interview. Instead of focusing on the film and her career the interviewer just wants to make rude comments about her haircut.
Good lord, this is in 1985? He's such a bigot! He's like going back to the 50's-60's with men's views on women!
