...grace under the pressure of the seven-day-a-week schedule her TV show requires. To a degree, Designer Robert Mackie's clothes still make the star, though Cher says.

No longer a silent partner in making decisions about her career, she spends her waking hours in conferences, writing sessions (she pays particular attention to her opening and closing monologues), costume fittings (no small matter when wardrobe is your basic trademark).
