#Fact
1 She has a younger half-sister from her father's second marriage named Catherine Shepherd Muse who lives in Senoia, Georgia.
2 In the 1970's, filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich divorced his wife Polly Platt to be with Cybill. This incident loosely inspired the film Irreconcilable Differences (1984), where a director (Ryan O'Neal) divorced his wife (Shelley Long) to be with a starlet (Sharon Stone). While Platt said that the film "got more right than wrong," Cybill denied that she was anything like the character that Stone played in the film.
3 She has actively fought against racism and received a plaque from the National Civil Rights Museum in her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee in 1992. The plaque was inscribed with the motto, "equal opportunity and human dignity," followed by "Thank you Cybill Shepherd for helping break the chain of oppression" Her mother told her: "I've never been as proud of you as I am today".
4 Cybill Shepherd's family line comes out of Buckingham County, Virginia. Her great great grandfather Bernard Gaines "B. G." Shepherd (1831-1890) was a corporal in the War between the States, serving in Co. E of the 21st Virginia Infantry. This unit fought at Gettysburg and Appomattox and dozens of other battles. Bernard's brother Benjamin Franklin served as a sergeant in Co. B of the 25th Battalion Virginia Infantry (Richmond, VA). Bernard's brother Peter served in Co. C of the 56th Virginia Infantry, also at Gettysburg and Appomattox. So Cybill has a rich Southern and Confederate history.
5 Performed as a go go girl in the Q-Ties in 1967 behind The Box Tops performance of "The Letter" during their tv appearance on Memphis' WHPQ's Talent Party hosted by George Klein.
6 In 1995, she played a grandmother on her show, Cybill (1995). She didn't become a grandmother, in real-life, until 19 years later, when her daughter, Clementine Ford, gave birth to a son on March 23, 2014. She was very happy to see her grandson, Elijah Shahriari Ford-Wilcox.
7 Directed by five Academy Award winners: Martin Scorsese, Emile Ardolino, Woody Allen, Arthur Hiller, and Stanley Donen.
8 She was the middle-child, with an older sister Terry and a younger brother Bill. In her memoir, she wrote, "I knew I was loved by our parents, perhaps loved better than Terry or Bill, because I tried so hard to be perfect".
9 Mother-in-law of actor Cyrus Wilcox.
10 Release of her autobiography, "Cybill Disobedience: How I Survived Beauty Pageants, Elvis, Sex, Bruce Willis, Lies, Marriage, Motherhood, Hollywood and the Irrepresible Urge To Say What I Think" by Cybill with Aimee Lee Ball. [2000]
11 Announced her engagement in June of 2012, to boyfriend, Andrei Nikolajevic.
12 Has appeared with Eileen Brennan in four films: The Last Picture Show (1971), Daisy Miller (1974), At Long Last Love (1975) and Texasville (1990).
13 Larry McMurtry's 1987 novel, "Texasville", is dedicated to her. "Texasville" is the sequel to "The Last Picture Show", the film version of which Shepherd made her acting debut as "Jacy". She would reprise the role in the sequel's 1999 film adaptation.
14 Inducted into the Texas Film Hall of Fame on March 10, 2006. The other inductees were Matthew McConaughey, Kris Kristofferson, JoBeth Williams and Lyle Lovett.
15 Ex-husband, Bruce Oppenheim, married Jenilee Harrison in 1993.
16 Ex-mother-in-law of Chad Todhunter.
17 1993: For Christmas she gave copies of the books "The Change" by Betty Friedan and "Women Who Run With the Wolves" by Clarissa Pinkola Estes for gifts.
18 A fervent civil rights supporter, including gay rights, she not only appeared in The L Word (2004) but was once on the cover of The Advocate (in 1993).
19 Wanted Harley Venton to play the role of David Addison Jr. on Moonlighting (1985).
20 Was told she had a "great ass" by Marlon Brando as she walked away from him at a Hollywood party held for Stella Adler. Adler had been the acting teacher of both Brando and Shepherd's then-lover, Peter Bogdanovich. Shepherd had been sitting on a couch with Brando and Adler when Brando announced he couldn't stand her inane talk. After being insulted, she got up and left, only to be complimented by the great actor on her derrière. At the party, Adler also told her that her "Irish nose" prevented her from being a great beauty.
21 1973: Was the presenter of the Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role at the ceremony held on April 2, 1974, along with co-presenter Ernest Borgnine. When Shepherd, reading through the list of nominees, reached John Houseman, she credited his performance to Paper Moon (1973) instead of the film in which he had actually appeared, The Paper Chase (1973). After her error, Shepherd said, "Oops!" and soldiered on. When she reached Randy Quaid, she credited his Oscar-nominated performance to The Last Picture Show (1971). Although Quaid had indeed appeared in The Last Picture Show (1971), the movie his nominated role had appeared in was The Last Detail (1973), directed by Hal Ashby. "Oops again", Miss Shepherd lamely apologized. Both "mispronouncements" were films directed by her then-lover, Peter Bogdanovich. The "mix-ups" were seen by the audience in the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion as a crass and calculated attempt to be "cute", according to Oscar historian Robert Osborne.
22 5/13/74: Was the subject of a cover story, along with her lover Peter Bogdanovich, in "People Magazine." It was the 10th issue of the magazine, which was first published on March 4, 1974.

24 1985: During an appearance at the Emmy Awards, she wore orange Reebok Freestyle hi-top sneakers. This appearance gained her some fashion criticism for wearing orange Reeboks with a black formal strapless gown. Even on the Moonlighting (1985) set, Cybill would switch from pumps into comfortable Reebok sneakers. Sometimes the sneakers would get caught in scenes during filming.
25 Early 1970s: A fashion model, she was discovered for films when director Peter Bogdanovich spotted her on the cover of Glamour magazine while standing in a supermarket checkout line.

1 The grain of truth in this controversy was that of course I was envious. Who doesn't want to win an Emmy?
2 [on her Daisy Miller (1974) leading man Barry Brown] No one realized that he was in the last stages of an addiction that would cause him to take his life just a few years later. He was glum and withdrawn, and his breakfast of champions consisted of beer, coffee, and Valium, a pattern that couldn't help but affect the shooting schedule.
3 [Her reaction when George Cukor rejected her for Travels with My Aunt (1972) saying she had no comedic talent] A celebrated director had gone out of his way to be brutally discouraging, and I whimpered, worried, agonized, and almost believed him. But even though I've given up lots of times in my life, I usually only allow myself a week or two of sulk. Like the little engine that could, I get back on track. Ultimately no public or private humiliation has ever stopped me.
4 [Her reaction when Martin Scorsese wanted to cast a Cybill Shepherd type for Taxi Driver (1976)] My anxiety was palpable. What's a Cybill Shepherd type anyway? With my little pilot light of insecurity fanned by a few years' worth of scathing reviews, I thought: Maybe I'm not even good enough to play my own type. But I admired all of Scorsese's films.
5 I had to lie so much about sex, first when I was 15 because I wasn't supposed to be having it. And when I got older, I lied to everybody I was having sex with, so I could have sex with other people.
6 Your policemen are such wonderful hunks.
7 I was born and bred to be a great flirt.
8 My home is different from my mother's, because hers is filled with beautiful objects that I was always afraid of breaking. My home is the opposite. Bring on the kids, the dogs, the parties - there's nothing that's so important it can't be broken.
9 I did the nasty with Elvis [Elvis Presley]. This man loved to eat. But there was one thing he wouldn't eat . . . 'til he met me.
10 [on Marilyn Monroe] She had curves in places most other women don't even have places.
11 I never wanted to be Jane. I always wanted to be Tarzan. I didn't want to vacuum the tree house. I wanted to swing from the vines.
12 I had the serendipity of modeling during a temporary interlude between Twiggy and Kate Moss, when it was actually okay for women to look as if we ate and enjoyed life.
13 [on her film debut in The Last Picture Show (1971) and her romance with its director. Peter Bogdanovich] When a film wraps, the actors often like to keep some of their props or wardrobe as mementos. I wanted the heart-shaped locket and brown and white saddle shoes that Jacy wore, but his wife Polly [Polly Platt] was in charge of costumes and wouldn't give them to me. I guess she figured I had enough of a souvenir: her husband.
14 I think the measure of your success to a certain extent will be the amount of things written about you that aren't true.
