Cher Mourns ‘Moonstruck’ Director Norman Jewison: ‘Farewell, Sweet Prince’
The beloved director died on Saturday (Jan. 20) at age 97.
Cher is mourning the death of Norman Jewison, the beloved director behind films like Fiddler on the Roof and Moonstruck, the latter of which the “Believe” singer starred in alongside Nicolas Cage. Moonstruck, released in 1987, is based on the John Patrick Shanley play and follows Loretta Castorini (Cher), a widowed Italian-American woman who, through a twist of events, falls in love with her fiancé’s hot-tempered, estranged younger brother, Ronny Cammareri (Cage). A seven-time Oscar nominee himself, Jewison received the prestigious Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences in 1999.
