-
Name Jackie Jean CROUCH Born 9 Jun 1926 Kensett, White Co, AR 
[1, 2] Gender Female Residence 1969 Encino, Los Angeles Co, CA [3] Died 10 Dec 2022 Malibu, Los Angeles Co, CA [1, 4] Notes - Cher's mother, Georgia Holt, born Jackie Jean Crouch, was a show-business small-timer in Los Angeles, a sometime model and actress in commercials. Her biggest chance was being cast for a part in The Asphalt Jungle for a couple of weeks before another fringe performer named Marilyn Monroe took it away from her. Three times Holt married and divorced John Sarkesian, Cher's father, a compulsive gambler and later a heroin addict, although Cher did not meet him until she was eleven ("I hated him"). Between and after these marriages there were five others. Poverty, constant changes of address, a short stay in a Catholic nursing home for the needy were all part of Cher's childhood. Even a three-year burst of prosperity, when her mother wed a banking executive, seemed like just another form of instability.
