Cher is now in her early 70s but has no intentions of retiring. In an interview in Toronto in 2013, she said that instead of weakening, her voice was actually still getting stronger, and that she was able to reach notes now that she couldn't get near in her 20s and 30s. She also doesn't rule out doing another residency in Las Vegas!
There is almost nothing Cher hasn't done in the world of entertainment. She's won an Emmy Award for her small-screen appearances, a Grammy Award for her music, and three Golden Globe and an Oscar for her movie career. Although she's a legendary figure, with her track record of success, you could even make a case that she doesn't get the recognition she deserves from the public. She has fully embraced her status as a gay icon and uses her social media presence to speak out on gay rights issues.
