| Mike Nichols had felt the same way about Cher. He refused to meet with her for a film he was casting. The worm had turned by the time he was casting SILKWOOD. Cher was now hot in movies, thanks to her Oscar turn in MOONSTRUCK. And Nichols had considerably cooled as a director. The financiers wanted Cher, and according to her, she made him apologize to her. My own story: in the early 90s I lived in Malibu for a year. One Saturday afternoon I took in a matinee of the BORN YESTERDAY remake and the theater was practically empty, except for me and a couple of women who wouldn't shut up. They were a few rows in back of me and were constantly dogging poor Melanie Griffith through the whole movie. When the movie ended and the lights came on, I turned around to see who the chatterboxes were and sitting there were Cher and Whoopi Goldberg. |

| Your chronology is off. SILKWOOD (1983) was the very next film Cher made after JIMMY DEAN. MOONSTRUCK was not until1987. | |

| Not my chronology, hers. That's why I wrote, "according to her". |

| My point is that this scenario makes no sense no matter who it’s according to. Cher was not hot in movies prior to Silkwood. Her Oscar turn was 4 years in the future. After the success of Silkwood she starred in Mask (her first lead since Chastity in 1969), then Witches of Eastwick and Suspect. | |

| In a recent telling by Cher, it sounds like it was Mike Nichols' idea to cast her in Silkwood and to apologize. | |
