Watch my "Salon Talks" episode with Tolman here, or read the conversation below, to hear more about how her father's illness impacted her decision to do "St. Denis," the Cher quote she lives by, and why she has a soft spot for holiday horror movies.

I assume that's a Cher reference.

There were more than 350 violent or sexual offences reported at the carnival in August, including the fatal stabbing of young mother Cher Maximen, according to the Met Police, and 61 attacks on officers.

The story could be summed up that simply, but the 78-year-old singer, actor and icon of all things fabulous devoted a little more time to it in her recently released book, “Cher: The Memoir, Part One.”

Volume 1 of the singer’s long-awaited life story covers roughly the period from her birth to 1980, when Cher, a twice-divorced single mother with two children, found herself at a professional crossroads.
