Meet the family of the Moonlighting star Cybill Shepherd

Cybill Lynne Shepherd started off her career at a really early age but it was nothing close to being an actress. She was a model who soon became a beauty queen then the fashion icon that graced the cover of every major magazine. It was one of these magazines that caught the eye of film director Peter Bogdanovich (who she later dated). At the time, Peter was in need of a lady to play the role Jacy in the Oscar winning movie, The Last Picture Show (1971) and when he saw Cybill on the 1970 Glamour Magazine, he knew she was the lady he needed. The former model got the role but was most notable for her highly erotic nude scenes.

After acting such a role, it is not surprising that critics came around with different motives. Some offered praise but others were bent on crushing her talents. While this was going on, the aspiring actress was busy building her career portfolio and soon landed another terrific role in The Heartbreak Kid (1972). She kept rising until her name signified one of Hollywood’s talents.

Date of Birth: February 18, 1950

Zodiac Sign: Aquarius

In 2002, Cybill was diagnosed with cancer but she had the growth removed from her back that turned out to be a melanoma. She was lucky that the growth was gotten before it spread but she however had to undergo plastic surgery to correct the disfiguring scar that was left behind. She is also an outspoken activist for issues such as gay rights and abortion rights. Read on as we bring you juicy details about the personal life of this Hollywood legend.
