Famous People Who Overcame Dyslexia
Cher
 Cher
(born Cherilyn Sarkisian on May 20, 1946) is an American actress
and singer.
Born in El Centro, California in 1946, Cher
was a poor, fatherless child whose eight times-married Mother
struggled by on occasional singing gigs and brief movie roles.
To Cher this was life and she delighted in watching her mother
on stage and living a peaceful life in her family apartment.
At sixteen Cher's dyslexia proved too gruelling
and she left school and home to take acting lessons in Los
Angeles. To Cher this was a new beginning and the start of
a whole new life, she didn't expect what was to come. At the
age of seventeen, Cher will never forget the time she met
a man named Sonny. They met at the renowned Aldo's Coffee
Shop, the place where celebrities used to hang out. At that
stage Cher was a nobody, unemployed and desperate for work,
on the other hand Sonny had established himself as a celebrity
and had many previous appearances on Television.
