    She lost a potential breakthrough role in 'The Asphalt Jungle' (1950) to Marilyn Monroe.
    She was married and divorced six times, including twice each from Cher's father, John Sarkisian.
    During her first divorce, she shared a Reno residence with her mother, who was divorcing her father.

    She won several beauty contests, including Miss Reno Nevada, Miss Bellflower, and Miss Holiday on Wings.
    Cher recalled, 'She was an amazing dresser. We based the costumes in 'Mermaids' on pictures of her from the 1950s.'
    Her response on being told that her granddaughter Chastity was transitioning to a man: 'That's interesting, sweetheart.' (Cher noted, 'Her reaction was less than anyone else's in the family.')
