Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person Georgia Holt (born Jackie Jean Crouch; June 9, 1926 – December 10, 2022)[1] was an American singer-songwriter, actress and model. She is also notable for being the mother of Cher.

Early life

In Kensett, Arkansas in 1926,[2][3][4] Holt was born Jackie Jean Crouch to 13-year-old Lynda Inez Gulley (February 8, 1913 - May 13, 2009) and Roy Malloy Crouch (July 17, 1905 - June 18, 1969), a 21-year-old baker. Holt said she was of English, German, Irish, French, Dutch, and Cherokee descent.[5] Frequently moving back and forth between her separated parents, Holt estimated that she attended 17 junior high schools. Her father taught her how to sing and play guitar.[1][4]

Career

Holt sang on an Oklahoma City radio station when she was six years old, and by the age of 10, had sung with Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. She won several talent and beauty competitions,[4] and had a number of minor television and film roles in the 1950s. These included Watch the Birdie (1950), Grounds for Marriage (1951) and Lovely to Look At (1952). However, by the mid-1950s, Holt's income was largely derived from working as a club singer.[1]

After performing in a singers' workshop (Phil Moore's "Get Your Act Together") in July 1978 at Studio One in Los Angeles, Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin, and Dinah Shore booked Holt to appear on their television talk shows.[4] Holt also appeared as an audience polling member as part of a group of ten mothers of famous celebrities on the U.S. game show Card Sharks from July 4 to 8, 1988.[6]

Holt was the subject of the 2013 Lifetime documentary Dear Mom, Love Cher, which was executive produced by her daughter, Cher. The same year, Holt also released her album Honky Tonk Woman, which was recorded in 1982 with Elvis Presley's band. It was Holt's discovery of the tapes which led to the documentary project.[1] The album includes a duet with Cher titled "I'm Just Your Yesterday".[7]

In 2013, Holt and Cher appeared together on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno[8][9] and The Ellen DeGeneres Show[3] to promote the documentary and album.[3]

Personal life

Holt was married and divorced seven times to six husbands. She married Cher's father, Armenian-American truck driver John Paul Sarkisian,[10] on June 22, 1945;[11] they briefly remarried and redivorced about 20 years later. Holt's second husband was actor Chris Alcaide.[12] Her third husband was actor John Southall, with whom she had her second child, actress Georganne LaPiere.[13][14] She later wed Joseph Harper Collins,[1] after whom she married Gilbert Hartmann LaPiere, a bank manager who legally adopted Cher and Georganne and changed their surnames to LaPiere.[15] Holt's last marriage was to Hamilton T. Holt, by whose surname she became known.[1]

From 1976 until her death, Holt was in a relationship with Craig Spencer.[16] Holt was 50 and running an antiques shop when she met the then 28-year-old Spencer, who was initially interested in her daughter Georganne.[1]

Holt had two grandsons, Cher's children, Chaz Bono and Elijah Blue Allman.[7]

On December 10, 2022, Cher announced on Twitter that Holt had died.[17][18] Holt was survived by Spencer, her daughters and grandsons.[1] She was 96 years old.
