- Did you know that Cybill Shepherd is still around, or did you think that the actress was a relic of the past? Cybill Shepherd is a film and television actress that rose to prominence in the early 1970s after appearing in the 1971 film The Last Picture Show. Cybill got her role in the feature thanks to a photo shoot that she did for Glamour magazine, and she subsequently started up an affair with the film’s director that ended up destroying his marriage!

Cybill’s relationship with the director of The Last Picture Show was neither the first nor the last time that Cybill would develop a relationship with someone on one of her sets. In fact, the director wasn’t even the only person on the set of The Last Picture Show that Cybill became involved with! Cybill reportedly started an affair with costar Jeff Bridges around the same time she did with the film’s director.
Cybill would cool down on her propensity for hooking up with her leading men later in her career, but she had a hard time following this rule when it came time to star alongside Bruce Willis on the 1980s series Moonlighting. This series kicked off a second phase of Cybill’s career after the actress had faded from the spotlight on the big screen. After the cancellation of Moonlighting, Cybill was given her own self-titled series, with that being 1995’s Cybill.
According to Cybill Shepherd herself, Cybill suffered an early cancellation after its star turned down the romantic advances of since-disgraced CBS executive Les Moonves. Although the executive has received his comeuppance since, the damage it did to Cybill’s career was irreversible. In the years since facing harassment from Les Moonves, Cybill has successfully battled melanoma and lived to see the birth of her first grandchild. She still continues to work, despite not being the biggest star. Join Facts Verse as we explore the sad reasons you don’t see Cybill Shepherd anymore.

'Cybill' was a terrific show. Beautiful lady.
IMHO Cybill Shepherd was great in Moonlighting. She wasn't exactly Oscar caliber in her early acting career, she was ok in Taxi Driver, but she became much better later on. No matter what, she always was stunningly beautiful. Only natural that guys were drooling all over her.
Her biggest mistake was having her pregnancy, birth, and another potential father put into the storyline on Moonlighting. That's what tanked the show into the cellar. She would've done much better covering it up, like the woman who plays Burgess on Chicago PD. ( Guys don't want to be oogling damaged goods on a show)
@@lavanderwilliams794 that is correct. As harsh as it may sound, you summed it up perfectly. For us as the audience it's already enough to know we are looking at what we will never have. No need rubbing our noses in details.
Thanks for watching!
The banter on moonlighting was stellar.
@Rose I'm never thinking something as shallow as "ooh, she's not a teen virgin so she's damaged goods," when I look at, or think of my wife. I didn't see the multiple women with any children whom I dated before meeting the woman who is now my wife. Becoming a mother is part of the biology of human beings, oh, and survival of the species. Is it the chlid, or is it just that a woman has had sex prior to this type of "man" and he's just that concerned about his inadequacy, whether that's physically not measuring up, or fearing (or knowing);that he's a lousy lover, not a generous lover, or only understands being a selfish lover because someone (like in a church) taught him that sex is about man's pleasure and women's servitude (THAT is sad!!!). I know a couple guys who were like that, and apparently my wife, talking with their wives....
... suddenly, a week later, I'm being asked "how do you please a woman?" and , "has ANY woman EVER been pleased?" (my wife, totally not in the kitchen eavesdropping, shouts, "YES! YES! And you both have beautiful wives who deserve to FEEL LIKE A WOMAN once in a while!"). They BOTH were saying that "damaged" shit, thinking that the woman won't ever feel anything after giving birth. My wife laughed and went for a walk. I provided them with lessons on female anatomy and physiology, how men and women can have different needs, different desires, but sometimes you're both just wanting the basal acts of humans being, and just get to it NOW! And that as a man, no you don't need to be a mind reader, but YES you DO have to pay attention to your wife a learn what her signals are, and some men are lucky to have a wife that is open about wants, needs, desires, and the sets of signals she has...
...and do not expect to understand, you DON'T NEED TO, you just need to listen. She is with you, so, unless she's just a horrible person, she wants you to succeed in this area...
...and that area...
...so be a man and give your woman a reason to SMILE...
It's about three years later now. I NEVER hear "damaged" or "nag" or "bitchy."
And both have a second child and one is pregnant with a third.
Not damaged.
Oh, and as baby something you will never have, don't be so sure, in my single days I was with plenty of dancers, strippers, stage actresses, two that were on TV, and three women that played professional or Olympic sports (a GYMNAST!!!!!!)
Million dollar face and hair. She needs to thank God for all her beauty and talent. Drop dead gorgeous when she was younger. Still stunning today.
Multi Million Dollar Looks Gold Standard GOAT just saying
Great job, and was wondering where she went! Cybil is only a couple of years younger than I am so I've been following her life and career ever since the 1960s! Since I worked as a fashion illustrator in NYC in the late 1960s through the 1970s before I got married and had three daughters, I remember buying Glamour magazine with her on the cover and bought that mag well into my 40s. I think she looked the most gorgeous in "Moonlighting", stunning, when Bruce Willis had hair! lol Thanks for sharing the updates.
Thanks for watching!
I agree I think she was amazing in moonlighting. I have seen lots of old covergirl ads with her in them and I think she was most stunning in moonlighting.
We get old ! She is still beautiful!
Remember Cybill from "The Last Picture Show," her performance was outstanding! Noticed we hadn't heard from her in a long time...thanks for the update! 👍🥰
Cybill made had her ups and downs but she held it down for all female actresses in the movie instrustry and her kids is very proud of her and she spend time with her grandkids ❤
Cybill is terrific and always has been. She's a lovely person, very strong and does not suffer fools, the Moonves jerk or any other. Moonlighting was fabulous and we all stayed mad for thirty years because they would never bring it back in reruns while foisting every stupid, insipid, un-funny, sappy piece of trash sit-com on us for decades in reruns no body wanted to see. I was thrilled to find it on Tubi just recently (7/24) - all episodes! Yay!! Go Cybill!
I just finished reading her book from a few years ago "Cybill Disobedience". She is very honest in her book. She really lived life impulsive and passionate. She was a real beauty. Hard to be that pretty and not give in to temptation. She describes herself as a big brassy blonde. Seems to be a good mother. Bogdanovich might have been the love of her life but she was overwhelmed by her own passionate nature. There you go. Enjoyed your bio on youtube.
Cybill was my inspiration to go into modeling. My favorite model of that era. I love her!! 🦋
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Cybil! Be safe and have a great day ahead ♥
I absolutely love Cybill Shepherd in moonlighting. That show was groundbreaking in the '80s.
She was Great in the last picture show and an amazing smile, as she drove that 1951 Ford convertible with friends while singing,
Caryl, here. lOVED her in "Chances Are." What a wonderful romantic movie, with an ending that was right on. She worked with a bunch of terrific actors in that movie. Everyone complemented each other. Wish cable TV would run it. It's time.
One of the most beautiful & graceful ladies ever to adorn the planet 😍
I worked for a major fashion advertising agency in the 60's, and we used her sporadically. A lot of pretty faces to choose from, only the name rang a bell when Last Picture Show premiered in 1971.
We in advertising couldn't believe she became such a superb actress. Some claimed it was a different person! She was very chameleon; our stylists loved her!
Thanks for watching!
Always love watching Cybil Shepard act very talented lady.
I can not pretend to know Cybill Shepherd. I do know and have proof from a response to fan mail that I sent as part of an assignment in high school. I was at a difficult time in my teens. The reply was very kind and thoughtful. She was working on the moonlighting series. I don't know if she wrote it or her staff was responsible. God bless her and her family. 🙏
She was gorgeous when she was younger. Wow what a knockout
I always wondered why the show Cybil was cancelled, it was such a good show. I loved it.
Thanks for watching!
I loved Moonlighting with Bruce Willis, they were terrific together. I never realized she had it so tough with that other fellow. She is lovely as ever. I miss her.
Stunning woman. 💕
Thanks for watching!
A beautiful lady and great actress. So underrated.
grand contribution to lovers of The people on camera who were Swinging it and I want to add here that I came to see Cybill Shepherd only when the Moonlighting came available ( narrator calls that her second career jump ) and saying her young years are a very beautiful surprise element . Thank you . =^-^=
Thanks for watching!
Cybil Sheppard is one of those actors who never quite made it as far as she thought she would. Years ago I was working a show with her, and Prima Dona is the word that comes to mind. She definitely had ideas way above her station.
You didn't watch the video did you?
She was wonderful in Stormy Weathers. Wish it was back as a series. Also, her series, "Cybill" with Christine Baranski, Alicia Witt and Dede Pfeiffer was great! Wish it would rerun!
Thanks. Cybil Shepard was a delight to watch. Loved her in moonlighting.
loved her in both Moonlighting and Cybil....great actress striking beauty
Us too! Thank you for bringing back memories. If we may ask, which episode did you like best?
The Heart Break Kid was a great romantic comedy. Charles Grodin was a great comedic actor [RIP].
She was perfect for her part and a great natural beauty.
Eddie Albert was classic. BTW, Mr. ALBERT was a navy officer, who saw action at Tarawa and received a bravery medal.
Thanks for watching!
One of my favourite films.
I wish Cybill would come back. Also would love to see a history of Christine Baranski who I only recall seeing for the first time on Cybill's sitcom. She has gone on to be much more prominent in series like The Good WIfe and The Good FIght.
Cybill a beautiful woman. She was great in everything she acted in. She has the most beautiful hair. I wish she make another movie, or TV show. Her acting is quality, perfect. All the very best to you, your fans love you.
Thanks for watching!
I am a big fan of hers. Loved both her t.v. shows. Christine Baranski was a riot as Cybill’s alchy friend Marianne, and I thought both of the young actors who played her daughters, one of whom is Michelle Pfeiffer’s sister DeeDee, were excellent, too. It’s a shame that show didn’t go on longer. I suspect a lot of why we don’t see her regularly anymore is the reason we don’t see most female actors as they age…sexism and ageism in Hollywood. I just hope she finds satisfaction in being a mom. And, wow, her oldest daughter Clementine looks so much like her!
She is in her mid 70's and was known for her beauty. Maybe she wants to remain real and not mess up her face.
I love Baranski
I knew Les was an irredeemable psychopath for the way he tried to end several women’s careers, but now that I know what he did to Cybill, I legitimately wish I could physically beat the crap out of him. He’d deserve it.
Thank you sir!!!! I love Ms. Shepherd, and follow her lightning career as long as she was beaming...and she then seem to drop off the edge.. Again thanks for the update.
She's so beautiful loved her
We're glad to know that you love Cybil! What is your favorite film of her?
I used to watch the Cybil series & then it just stopped. She is such a good actress. Made me really unhappy. She’s such a natural. Put her back on guys!!!
I have always loved her. She is hilarious and gorgeous a true timeless beauty and great actress. ❤️
she has always been one of the prettiest women on television, either with Bruce Willis,or on Cybil, which introduced her to a younger audience, as a beautiful middle age actress, love you.
Skin cancer isn't fun. I'm a survivor as well. God bless her✝️🕊️
I have always LOVED her....
Thanks for watching!
I loved her in moonlighting and I admire her for her life choices today.
Great actress of
Gorgeous BEAUTY..
Nice, lovely woman
👍👍👏👏🥰
Les Moonves is a major-league slime mold. Cybill’s is far from the only career he torpedoed.
Thanks for watching!
Pure evil
What a coincidence. I just watched the movie "Taxidriver" and i was completely blown away by her beauty.🥰❤️😍
Thanks for watching!
Ms. Shepherd was always very easy to watch. Glad to hear she doing well. FR
Thanks for watching!
Great talent never fades 🤗❤️
Thanks for watching!
She start off great in her career with modeling and big roles on tv and in movies but she fell off as time move on. Good to hear Cybill got over her skin cancer.
Thanks for watching!
You forgot to mention that she was in one of the best movies of all time Taxi Driver
I have seen her on some movies and tv shows. it’s good that she’s still acting. after all ups and downs in her life..
Glad to hear she’s doing well. My encounter with her was not great, many years ago, when she was a model, I worked with her on a photo shoot, I was the makeup artist, she was basically unpleasant to work with.
Thanks for watching!
She’s 73 now. Wow. Loved her & Bruce. Rip Bruce.
The first time i saw Cybill was in T.V. series title The long hot summer with Don Johnson
Loved her in Moonlighting, Cybill, and Psych. I'm so glad to hear of her faith and that she is doing faith based movies.
Gosh I miss her being on TV, her show "Cybill" still makes me laugh even 30years later
cybil shepard was also in a supporting role in the original LWord Series in the later part of the 2000s. It was a grounded role that I thought showed her acting abilities as a mature actress.
We thought she was gorgeous, great actress and we wondered why she disappeared.
Yes , absolutely gorgeous , and still today as well .
Thanks for watching!
That's great to hear🙌❤🙏
I had know idea that cybill had skin cancer I fell sorry for cybill being treated like that by that executive I hope she's doing well now in her life
Thanks for watching!
No reason to be sad about any of these people, they have/had long successful lives and every living thing grows old and passes. Don't think you will? Wait a tick.
They need to bring Cybill Sheperd back, she is so good!
Thanks for watching!
She hit her marks and collected a check. No talent, just good looking.
Yep, someone from the past but nice to see how's Cybill is going 🌷.
Never thought that she had much acting talent but she was a pretty girl...and she couldn't "break a marriage " if it wasn't already cracked..
Cheers to you Cybil ! God is good all the time! His grace Is the reason for the season!
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!
Cybill is an intelligent, classy, beautiful and talented woman. Loved her in Moonlighting and also her TV series Cybill. She has an automatically likable, relatable and down to earth quality that resonates in all her work. A timeless talent and beauty. 💕
I miss Moonlighting so freakin much so does my mom & many family members I know
Thanks for watching!
I'm so happy for her that she found Christ in her life, God bless her 🙏
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful talented lady.
To be fairly honest with you, Cybill Shepherd was more than just a very talented actress. But she's definitely an wonderful human being and I've been an greatest fan of hers since 1994!!!
Thanks for watching!
Loved this. Glad she is doing well.
Given my age, I didn't come to know about Cybill Shepherd until the TV show Moonlighting hit the air. She was just so beautiful...obviously she was my initial draw to that program. The comedic timing and chemistry between Shepherd and Willis made that show a huge success...until she was no longer the perceived Star. Too bad. Obviously, Bruce Willis came out the clear winner based on his enduring success.
I later watched her self titled show...that show led to me to learn of the talent of Christine Baranski...that show was very well written.
With the drama (either real or made-up) that followed Ms Shepherd;s career, it was no longer enjoyable to watch her "in the moment"...just too much bad PR.
The last time I saw her was for the roast of Bruce Willis...she appeared very, very awkward on that special.
Again...I thought she was very, very talented and remarkably beautiful...like most things over time, she just fell out of favor.
I certainly wish her well in her retirement.
Her biggest failure on Moonlighting was putting her pregnancy in the storyline, as well as having some other guy ( Mark Harmon) stuck into the fray as another potential father. That made for too much drama, to the point of the comedic part of the show diminished to nothing.
Thanks for watching!
I saw her in a one woman show in San Francisco in about 2008.She was excellent.
Surprised but glad to hear that Cybill is still around. From the last video as well as this one, sounded as if she was no angel but her bout with skin cancer perhaps changed that a bit. Les sounds like a total mess; sad he mistreated Cybill and her career on that show. I was not aware Cybill had survived skin cancer. Glad to hear she did. She's definitely a very talented actress.
That's the easiest to diagnose, and, if spotted early enough, the easiest to treat. Pancreatic cancer is still the almost always deadly one. It's super agressive, to the point where you can be at stage 3-4 within a few months after an all clear checkup.
Thanks for watching!
@@lavanderwilliams794 there are 3 main types of skin cancer. Melanoma is often deadly because it tends to be quick growing, invasive, and aggressive. Basel cell carcinoma is usually very slow growing and not aggressive. It gives you time to deal with it. Squamous Cell carcinoma is normally not aggressive for metastasis, but it can be fast growing.
@@michaeltutty1540 And, although I'm not white, I'm a landscaper, so I'm a stronger than average candidate for skin cancer. Thanks for the information.
I agree. Say what you will about Cybill as a person, but no one deserves to have to put up with that monster of a person that Les is. I can’t believe that man isn’t in jail.
To the reader of this comment :
I hope you have a wonderful day ahead of you. Everything will go amazing. YOU deserve it ALL. You've worked extremely hard for what you have. You're pure, amazing and totally worth it! Don't give up, you're not weak! You got this bae!!
Love and hugs! ❤🔥
How nice! I'm glad someone appreciates me. Thank you.
@@tracer740 you got this buddy! You're welcome ❤️
Thanks for watching!
I had a similar vision when I was passing after surgery. I found myself up above in my room watching the Doctors and nurses frantically working on someone. I then noticed that the patient in the bed was me. I thought what was wrong. I felt fine. I then asked if was my time. I then heard as I was se
The vision I saw was that of soft spoken
man. I asked if it was my time?
The man replied no it not your time.
I then left the ceiling and came up under my bed walking up to alot of commotion.
I was told that by a Doctor the thought I had passed..
Thanks for watching!
There's a couple of great channels for near death experiences, Next Level Soul and the JeffMara Podcast.
They have guests who tell their story of what happened to them.
It's extremely interesting to listen to.
I've always loved Cybil. She is still a natural beauty.
As beautiful as ever ….
Thanks for watching!
And here all along I thought it was producer chuck lorre who wrote and produced the first season that sent her show “Cybill” in to oblivion after she had him fired. I could write a thesis’s on all of the studio heads of movies and tv, along with producers, agents etc since film and tv began, that have been fired, died, blackmailed, mysteriously killed (allegedly) sent to prison or resigned out of fear of going to prison over their abuse of power.
So beautiful
Thanks for watching!
Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Great for her. She is really grounded now.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
The sad reason she s not in the public eye is time and the effects of gravity.
Older women who remain A-list actors into old age are super rare.
There's a list to tell us, the top female actors still working over age 55.
I think I agreed this I've heard about her one time back in 1989 not sure I was teenage to watch some cable connection at homw
Sometimes the light from within can defeat gravity ( Whisfull thinking)
The British make superb movies about old age with their famous stars.I realise America can.t because their older stars succomb to plastic surgery and look ridiculous.Lots to do with a society that likes giant posteriors and wall to wall teeth.
I really loved her show Cybil!
I had heard that Cybill and Bruce Willis emphatically did not get along on Moonlighting. Yet this video claims they were almost dating. Big difference there.
In Curtis Armstrong's book he said Bruce told him something happened between Cybill and him early on, perhaps one reason they started fighting.
I always thought she was clever and upscale for Moonighting. Bruce as a cocky PI was only marginally amusing. I always thought she deserved more roles.
Good vid. I like Cybill.
Thanks for watching!
I loved her in Moonlighting, she was funny also Viola. Bring it back please
Cybill is a great actress. Shes had a career many would hope for.
Thanks for watching!
I really like your channel, I consider it the best👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
@@FactsVerse What do you think of my channel? Thank you.
She came out as a Wiccan decades ago. She stopped getting work after she thanked the _goddess_ for an award.
Regarding 6:49, Cybill Shepherd was more beautiful when she was younger.
Thanks for watching!
Why is she gone? Hmmm. Let's see. Maybe it's because she is old now. Man, she was a goddess when she was young.
Thanks for watching!
I thought she just got old, I never knew her until Moonlighting.
Thanks for watching!
Loved Moonlighting!!
Thanks for watching!
Loved her in Moonlighting and Cybil!
A relic thus the reason for seeking this video
Although I heard of Cybill's shenanigans, only saw her in tv commercials before I became a fan of Moonlighting. There were a few episodes of Moonlighting, where David Adison confronted Madie on her faith. To which she's A non believer.
If you want to see one of the most beautiful women of all time in Hollywood look at Cybill Shepherd in The Lady vanishes with Elliot Gould. She spent the entire movie in one backless dress and looked absolutely stunning in every scene 😍😍😍😍
SHE'S BEAUTIFUL N CLASSY ALL IN ONE....
@FactsVerse I had a crush on Cybill Shepherd
she is gorgeous
We have not heard the last of Cybil Shepard.
like my wife say when you get old you are invisible .
Thanks for watching!
