Early life Cher was born in El Centro, California, on May 20, 1946, at 7:25 a.m. Her father was John Sarkisian, an Armenian refugee who worked as a truck driver. Her mother, Georgia Holt (n?e Jackie Jean Crouch), an aspiring actress and occasional model, is of Cherokee, English, German and Irish descent. Cher's mother and father separated when she was young and she was raised primarily by her mother, who had remarried to Gilbert LaPierre, a banker who adopted Cher. The early days for Cher and her mother were often difficult financially and led to Georgia placing Cher in foster care for a brief time as a child. However, Cher was enamored of seeing her mother on stage and dreamed of one day becoming famous. Later, Georgia was able to provide her daughter with acting lessons to help guide her career. In those years Cher had a relationship with the actor Warren Beatty. Due to severe, undiagnosed dyslexia, she left Fresno High School at the age of sixteen
