In 1962, Cher met Sonny Bono for the first time at a coffee shop in Los Angeles. She was 16 and looking for her big break, and he was 27 and working for record producer Phil Spector.

Cher and Sonny Bono costarred on "The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour" when they were married in the 1970s. In her new memoir, Cher wrote that Bono "secretly designed" her contracts so she earned nothing.
