Cybill Lynne Shepherd (born February 18, 1950) is an American actress, singer and former model. Her film debut and breakthrough role came as Jacy Farrow in Peter Bogdanovich's coming-of-age drama The Last Picture Show (1971) alongside Jeff Bridges. She also had roles as Kelly in Elaine May's The Heartbreak Kid (1972), Betsy in Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976), and Nancy in Woody Allen's Alice (1990).
On television, her first major role was as Colleen Champion in the one season of the night-time drama The Yellow Rose (1983). Shepherd played Madelyn Hayes on the detective comedy-drama Moonlighting (1985–1989) opposite Bruce Willis, for which she won two Golden Globes for Best Actress in a Comedy/Musical TV Series out of three such nominations. She later starred as Cybill Sheridan on Cybill (1995–1998), for which she won her third Golden Globe Award as Best Actress in a Comedy/Musical TV series.

According to Shepherd's autobiography, a 1970 Glamour magazine cover caught the eye of film director Peter Bogdanovich. His then-wife, Polly Platt, claimed that when she saw the cover in a check-out line in a Ralphs grocery store in southern California, he said "That's Jacy,"{{efn|Polly Platt talks about the magazine cover discovery in the film documentary based on the Peter Biskind book, Easy Riders, Raging Bulls.}} referring to the role Bogdanovich was casting—and ultimately given to Shepherd—in The Last Picture Show (1971).

Her first film was The Last Picture Show, also starring Jeff Bridges and Timothy Bottoms. The film became a critical and box office hit, earning eight Academy Awards nominations and winning two. Shepherd was nominated for a Golden Globe. In 1972, Shepherd was cast opposite Charles Grodin in The Heartbreak Kid. She played Kelly, a young woman for whom Grodin's character falls while on his honeymoon in Miami. Directed by Elaine May and written by Neil Simon, it was another critical and box office hit.{{Rotten Tomatoes | id=m/heartbreak_kid/ | title=The Heartbreak Kid}} Also in 1972, Shepherd posed as a Kodak Girl for the camera manufacturer's then-ubiquitous cardboard store poster displays.{{cite book | first=Nancy Martha | last=West | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Nuae4VHlyrYC&q=cybill%20shepherd%20kodak&pg=PA53 | title=Kodak and the Lens of Nostalgia | publisher=University Press of Virginia | location=Charlottesville and London | year=2000 | page=53 | isbn=0-8139-1959-2 | access-date=April 5, 2011}}
In 1974, Shepherd again teamed up with Peter Bogdanovich for the title role in Daisy Miller, based on the Henry James novella. The film—a period piece set in Europe—was a box office failure. That same year, she launched a singing career, releasing a studio album Cybill Does It...To Cole Porter for MCA Records.{{cite web |url=http://cybillshepherd.co.uk/discography.htm |title=Cybill Shepherd Music Discography |date=February 18, 2009 |access-date=April 18, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040215041215/http://cybillshepherd.co.uk/discography.htm |archive-date=February 15, 2004 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }} It was panned by Village Voice critic Robert Christgau, who wrote: "Her voice is surprisingly pleasant, but you'd never know how these songs sparkle. Since Cole didn't like to . . . do it with (or 'to') women very much, maybe the 'do' is as hostile as it sounds."{{cite book|last1=Christgau|first1=Robert|author-link=Robert Christgau|year=1981|title=Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies|publisher=Ticknor & Fields|isbn=089919026X|chapter=Consumer Guide '70s: S|chapter-url=https://www.robertchristgau.com/get_chap.php?k=S&bk=70|access-date=March 12, 2019|via=robertchristgau.com|title-link=Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies}}
In 1975, she made At Long Last Love, a film musical directed by Bogdanovich. The film received scathing negative reviews, named by many as the worst major film of the year, and Shepherd herself received negative reviews. https://movie-film-review.com/devharsh.asp?act=2¶m=840Gallagher, John.

Shepherd returned with good reviews for her supporting work in Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976). According to Shepherd, Scorsese had requested a "Cybill Shepherd type" for the role. She portrayed Betsy, a volunteer for a presidential candidate with whom Robert De Niro's character, Travis Bickle, becomes infatuated.
A series of less-successful roles followed, including The Lady Vanishes (1979), a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1938 film. Already sitting in on an acting class taught by Stella Adler, Shepherd was offered work at a dinner theater in Norfolk, Virginia, and turned to friend Orson Welles for advice. He encouraged her to get experience on stage in front of an audience, anywhere but Los Angeles or New York City,{{cite news | first=Roger | last=Ebert | author-link=Roger Ebert | date=March 14, 1989 | title=Many sides of Cybill Shepherd revealed | work=Observer–Reporter | location=Washington, Pennsylvania}} away from the harsh big-city critics{{cite magazine | first=Deirdre | last=Donahue | date=November 4, 1985 | title=Cybill's Style | magazine=People | url=https://people.com/archive/cover-story-cybills-style-vol-24-no-19/}} so she moved back to her home town of Memphis to work in regional theatre.{{cite web|author=Bykowsky, Stuart|date=January 9, 1985|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=wQpZAAAAIBAJ&dq=cybill%20shepherd%201982&pg=6962%2C1909727|title=Cybill Shepherd: 'There is a freakdom to beauty'|work= Evening Independent|access-date=April 5, 2011}}

In 1982, Shepherd returned to New York and to the stage when she played alongside James MacArthur in a theatre tour of Lunch Hour by Jean Kerr.{{cite web|date=August 4, 1982|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=NBpJAAAAIBAJ&dq=james%20macarthur%20cybill%20shepherd&pg=1112%2C382002|title=MacArthur & Shepherd star in Lunch Hour|work= The Hour|access-date=August 30, 2012}} The following year, Shepherd went back to Los Angeles and was cast as Colleen Champion in the NBC television drama The Yellow Rose (1983), opposite Sam Elliott. Although critically acclaimed, the series lasted only one season. A year later, Shepherd was cast as Maddie Hayes on Moonlighting (1985–1989), a role that defined her career. The producers knew that her role depended on having "chemistry" with her co-star, and involved her in the selection of Bruce Willis. A lighthearted combination of mystery and comedy, the series won Shepherd two Golden Globe Awards.{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001732/awards|title=Cybill Shepherd - Awards|website=IMDb|access-date=April 5, 2011}}

She starred in Chances Are (1989) with Robert Downey Jr. and Ryan O'Neal, receiving excellent reviews. She then reprised her role as Jacy in Texasville (1990), the sequel to The Last Picture Show (1971), as the original cast (and director Peter Bogdanovich) reunited 20 years after filming the original. She appeared in Woody Allen's Alice (1990) and Eugene Levy's Once Upon a Crime (1992), as well as several television films. In 1997, she won her third Golden Globe award for Cybill (1995–1998), a television sitcom in which the title character, Cybill Sheridan, an actress struggling with hammy roles in B movies and bad soap operas, was loosely modeled on herself, including portrayals of her two ex-husbands and her then-teenage daughter.
In 2000, Shepherd's bestselling autobiography, Cybill Disobedience: How I Survived Beauty Pageants, Elvis, Sex, Bruce Willis, Lies, Marriage, Motherhood, Hollywood, and the Irrepressible Urge to Say What I Think, written in collaboration with Aimee Lee Ball, was published.{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/books/00/05/14/bsp/besthardnonfiction.html|title=Best Sellers: Hardcover Nonfiction|access-date=April 5, 2011 | work=The New York Times}} That same year, Shepherd hosted a short-lived syndicated talk show version of the book Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, but left the show in early 2001.{{efn|Shepherd was replaced on the talk show by Cristina Ferrare, Bo Griffin, Sam Phillips, Drew Pinsky, and Rondell Sheridan.}} In 2003, she guest-starred on 8 Simple Rules as the sister of Cate Hennessy (portrayed by Katey Sagal).

Personal life
Shepherd began a relationship with Peter Bogdanovich on the set of The Last Picture Show, during his marriage to Polly Platt, whom Bogdanovich subsequently divorced. The relationship between the young star and her director lasted eight years. In her autobiography,{{cite book| last1 = Shepherd| first1 = Cybill| title = Cybill Disobedience | publisher = Avon| isbn = 0-06-103014-7| year = 2001}} Shepherd revealed that she called her mother in 1978, crying and unhappy with the way her life and career were going. Her mother replied, "Cybill, come home." Shepherd went home to Memphis, where she met and began dating David M. Ford, a local auto parts dealer and nightclub entertainer. She became pregnant, and the couple married that year. Their daughter, Clementine Ford, was born in 1979. The marriage ended in divorce in 1982.
In 1987, Shepherd became pregnant by chiropractor Bruce Oppenheim and married him.
