Seems successful women never pull for each other. I like Martha Stewart. Her gardening and cooking shows are very relaxing, very homey. I may not do many of the things she does on her shows, but the act of watching her kneed bread or plant flowers or talk about her animals... very soothing. I am sorry to hear her show on the Hallmark channel is going off. I don't know what she or Cybil are "truly" like, all I know is she is soothing to watch. Like watching a cat sleep can only make you relaxed.
I loved Cybil's portrayal of Martha. The movie was for entertainment. I don't know if Martha's really a bitch because I've never met her. Martha is a successful businessperson and if she had to be a bitch to do it that's fine with me. EVERY GOOD COOK NEEDS A COPPER POT!!!!!
I don't think anyone could accurately tell the story of Martha Stewart. Their is a genius in her ability to have marketed herself in all things practical and of good taste. But I also think she is flawed. Her ego and sense of grandeur about herself is unwavering. This flaw also played a part in her success. I think she is missing the sensitivity gene. She has no filter with her opinions of others. She takes pleasure in others weaknesses.
In Cybill's book, it never says, that i read anyway, that Charles Grodin leaves his wife for Cybill. It only says that they had a one night stand and that when she found out he was living with someone, Cybill ended it. That is what was written. Also, Martha shouldn't be so mad at Cybill's portrayal as an actress, so much as the people who made the movie. Come on, Martha!
You'de think Stewart would know the difference in a paid actress and a role she's playing; even if it is her. BTW, if she'd risk her career (and a potential prison sentence) by lieing about a lousy $37,000 stock, I can so see her pouring expensive wine back into a bottle.
Although I am a fan of Martha, I don't think she was very gracious in this interview. "I don't know why she'd do that (play martha)" ..umm because she's an actress and thats what they do-play people. Why are you mad at Cybill and not the creators of the film?? And why are you putting someone down continuously just because they portrayed you? She sounds extremely shallow, like she can't handle being criticized and has absolutely no depth. Insecure..
I agree. I think it is in very poor taste, not to mention poor integrity to spend time on her show criticizing anyone. I just can't stand 'famous' people when they do that.
you're wrong. martha had every right to a) defend herself, and b) critique cybill's notoriously bad performance. unlike shepherd's performance, martha was neither in bad taste nor bad manners. period.
There's no way you can deny that Martha's talented, nor does she seem to lack selfesteem. As for youth, isn't Cybil about the same age? Youth is very over rated anyway, the only thing young people have are greasy skin and lack of personality.
Actually I loved this movie but I don't think Martha Stewart was that bitchy. Americans like to exaggerate real facts. Anyway Cybill Shepherd and Tim Matheson showed great acting. Cybill's look in this film reminds me Kathleen Turner in "Serial Mom" (1994). Simple observation
Cybill Shepherd did a very good job
I hardly think gazillionaire Martha's jealous of Cybil Shepherd.
Cybil played Martha in two different TV movies. Martha Inc. NBC 2003 and Martha: Behind Bars CBS 2005
OH? Thanks for letting us know. Interesting.

Parts were exaggerated but I loved the movie and Cybill in it.
She wasn't the one who brought up the topic.

I said the same thing...be mad at the creators, not Cybill.
Omg is that Charles Grodin?

That's not true. Donald Trump for one and many other men have these traits. Traits that apply to men and women.
CS did a bad job playing MS. She must have been desperate. Her career has been in the tank after Moonlighting.
Untrue...she had her own show Cybill after Moonlighting.
