Michael Douglas has reignited a long-running debate about Cher’s 1988 Best Actress Oscar for “Moonstruck,” saying his “Fatal Attraction” co-star Glenn Close should have won instead. Cher is now responding to his comments, with coverage framing the exchange as a public clarification between former co-stars.
According to reports, Cher’s camp emphasizes that she feels positively about Douglas despite his remarks. Variety and the New York Post both focus on Douglas’s claim and Cher’s reaction, though they differ in emphasis: one highlights Cher’s representative and the tone of the response, while the other leads with Douglas’s diss and its comparison of who “deserved” the award.
