Cher Wins Best Actress Academy Award - 1988

On this day in 1988, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, the actress and singer Cher wins the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Moonstruck (1988).

At the Academy Awards ceremony, Moonstruck won in three categories, including Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress (Olympia Dukakis) and Best Original Screenplay. To pick up her golden statuette, Cher did not disappoint, wearing a black mesh Bob Mackie with strategically placed sequins barely covering key areas of her famously sculpted body.
