Cher Announces Her Own Biopic Movie. Here's What We Know

When it comes to pop culture icons (or essential Twitter accounts to follow), Cher is arguably at the top of the list. The superstar — whose career is still going strong after decades of hard work and massive success on-screen, on the charts, and in Las Vegas – celebrated her 75th birthday on May 20, sharing some pretty exciting news ahead of her big day.

Cher is, of course, a woman of many talents. She debuted onto the entertainment scene as a singer in Sonny & Cher and has since also become an actor and television personality.

As an actor, Cher has landed herself roles in a huge swath of movies that have been a success at the box office — "Mermaids," "Mask," and "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" — and she even won an Academy Award for Best Actress in 1988 for the beloved "Moonstruck," per IMDb. In other words ... she's Cher!

One day before her 75th birthday, Cher took to Twitter to announce that a biopic about her life and career is currently in the works.
