BIOGRAPHY: Singer-entertainer who left show business and found himself in politics. He became mayor of Palm Springs, California and was eventually elected to the U.S. House of Representatives as Congressman from the State of California, a position he held until his death.
TRIVIA:
- Decided he'd had enough of show business the day he was on the set of _"Fantasy Island" (1978)_ (qv), shooting a scene with 'Hervé Villechaize' (qv) as Tattoo, and misremembered Tattoo's name. Villechaize flew into a rage, sputtering at Bono, and Bono (as he related later) literally asked himself what the hell was he doing there.
- When Fox-TV announced plans to produce an autobiographical movie about Sonny & Cher in 1992, Sonny suggested 'Kevin Costner' (qv) to play him and 'Roseanne' (qv) Arnold as 'Cher (I)' (qv).
- Daughter, with Rankin, Christy.
- (1994) Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.
- Daughter, with 'Cher (I)' (qv), 'Chastity Bono' (qv).
- Interred at Desert Memorial Park, Cathedral City, California, USA, section B-35, #294.
- (1998) According to his widow, Bono was addicted to pain killers at the time of his death and was taking up to 20 pills a day.
- Also recorded under the names Sonny Christie, Ronny Sommers, and Prince Carter.
