Cher announced the news Sunday on Twitter that her mother, Georgia Holt, had died at age 96. Condolences immediately started pouring in.
The mother-daughter pair gave fans an intimate view of their relationship in the 2013 Lifetime documentary “Dear Mom, Love Cher.” The film featured interviews with Holt, her daughters Cher and Georganne LaPiere and Cher’s sons, Chaz Bono and Elijah Blue Allman — providing audiences with a broader view of Holt’s life story, beyond being Cher’s mother. Cher initiated the project after Holt found tapes of her own never-released album, from sessions recorded in 1980.
Holt was born Jackie Jean Crouch in rural Arkansas and first discovered her love of music while singing in Oklahoma saloons. Determined to capitalize on her talents, she moved to Hollywood. Holt was briefly married to Cher’s father, John Sarkisian; as a single mother, she struggled financially and briefly placed Cher in a Catholic orphanage. She visited her crying daughter every day and faced mounting pressures to put her daughter up for adoption. Holt was married and divorced several more times.“She never gave me and my sister advice because, truthfully, she knew we’d never take it,” Cher“Instead, we learned about life by listening to her talk about the things she did wrong and the things she did right.
Holt got back on her feet and managed to land roles in Hollywood. She made appearances in “Watch the Birdie,” “I Love Lucy,” “The Mike Douglas Show” and “The Merv Griffin Show.” “Dear Mom, Love Cher,” coincided with the release of “Honky Tonk Woman,” which featured 10 restored and remixed tracks Holt originally recorded, including a duet with Cher called “I’m Just Your Yesterday,” which Holt originally wrote.
