Could a marriage truly crumble because of bedroom antics deemed "too wild?" According to Cher, the answer is a resounding yes, at least when it came to her mother, Georgia Holt, and Holt's fourth husband, Joseph Harper Collins. The surprising revelation sheds light on a brief but apparently intense chapter in the lives of these two individuals, revealing unexpected facets of their personalities.

The story, as divulged by Cher in her memoir, paints a picture of a whirlwind romance followed by a swift departure. Georgia Holt, the actress and mother of Cher, encountered Joseph Harper Collins at a party in the summer of 1957. The connection was immediate, leading to a quick engagement. However, the marriage, which ensued shortly after, lasted only three years. The reason, according to Holt herself, was Collins's exuberant behavior behind closed doors, a detail that adds a layer of intrigue to the lives of these figures.
