The iconic singer and actress Cher starred in a string of successful films, including these three notable movies from the 1980s and early 1990s, all sharing the same first letter in their single-word titles. Each film showcased her versatile acting ability across different genres. The first, the 1985 biographical drama *Mask*, featured Cher in the role of a fiercely protective biker mother to a son with a rare genetic disorder. Her powerful performance earned her the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival.
Just two years later, Cher starred in the 1987 romantic comedy *Moonstruck* as Loretta Castorini, a widowed Italian-American bookkeeper from Brooklyn who falls in love with her fiancรฉ's estranged and passionate younger brother, played by Nicolas Cage. This role would lead to one of her greatest acting achievements, winning her the Academy Award for Best Actress. Rounding out the trio is the 1990 family comedy-drama *Mermaids*, set in the 1960s. In this film, Cher plays an eccentric and unconventional single mother to two daughters, portrayed by Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci.
