Who didn't Cher date?

I am convinced that Warren Beatty slept with 80% of the female population of the United States in the 1970s.

You know that chart that shows when you sleep with someone, that you have slept with every person they have slept with?

Imagine what her chart must look like?

Dolly Parton, Tim Conway, Johnny Cash, Bobby Vinton, Mac Davis, and especially Flip Wilson all had their own prime-time variety shows.

Along with Jim Spiders and Snakes Stafford, before going on to Those Amazing Animals with Priscilla Presley and Fran Tarkenton. Now he's got his own theater in Branson!
