Early life and career
Shepherd was born in Memphis, Tennessee, the daughter of Patty (née Shobe), a homemaker), and William Jennings Shepherd, who operated a home appliance business. She is the second of three children in the family. Terry (1946-2009) and her younger brother, William, are twins. Cybill was given the name "citation" and Bill, which refers to her grandfather Cy and her father, Bill. Shepherd earned the "Miss Teenage Memphis" title and represented the city at the 1966 Miss Teenage America pageant, where she received the congeniality award at age 16. She entered the 1968 "Model of the Year" competition at the age of 18, making her a fashion celebrity of the 1960s and resulting in fashion model positions in high school and later.
According to Shepherd's autobiography, a 1970 Glamour magazine cover caught film director Peter Bogdanovich's gaze. Polly Platt, his then-wife, said "That's Jacy" when she noticed the cover in a Ralphs grocery store in southern California, referring to the role Bogdanovich was casting—and eventually given to Shepherd—in The Last Picture Show (1971).
Jeff Bridges and Timothy Bottoms appeared in her first film, The Last Picture Show. The film received eight Academy Awards nominations and two others, making it a critical and box office hit. Shepherd was selected for a Golden Globe. In The Heartbreak Kid (1972), Shepherd was portrayed opposite Charles Grodin. Kelly, a young woman for whom Grodin's character falls while on his honeymoon in Miami, was played by her. It was also another critical and box office strike, directed by Elaine May. Shepherd appeared as a Kodak Girl in 1972 for the camera manufacturer's then-ubiquitous cardboard displays.
Shepherd teamed up with Peter Bogdanovich for the title role in Daisy Miller, which was based on the Henry James novella. The film, which was a period piece set in Europe, was a box office failure. She began performing in the same year as a child, debuting a studio album called "Doing It" to Cole Porter for MCA Records. "Her voice is surprisingly pleasant, but you'd never know how these songs sparkle," Village Voice critic Robert Christgau wrote. Cole didn't want to eat because he didn't like to. .. . Is it really threatening (or 'to') women as it sounds?
She made At Long Last Love, a comedy directed by Bogdanovich in 1975, but it fell, like Daisy Miller. Shepherd's work in Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976) earned raves. Scorsese had requested a "Cybil Shepherd" model" for the position, according to Shepherd. Travis Bickle, Robert De Niro's character, was enthralled by her portrayal of an ethereal beauty.
A string of less-successful roles followed, including The Lady Vanishes, Alfred Hitchcock's 1938 film of the same name. Shepherd was already enrolled in an acting class taught by Stella Adler, and she asked for assistance from a Norfolk, Virginia dinner theater, but she turned to colleague Orson Welles for assistance. She advised her to perform on stage in front of an audience, not in New York or Los Angeles, and so she returned to Memphis to work in regional theatre.
Shepherd returned to New York and back to the stage in 1982 as part of Jean Kerr's lunch hour tour. Shepherd returned to Los Angeles and was cast as Colleen Champion in the nighttime comedy The Yellow Rose (1983), opposite Sam Elliott. Despite being critically acclaimed, the series only lasted one season. Maddie Hayes on Moonlighting (1985-1989), Shepherd was cast as Maddie Hayes (1985-1989), which was the role that defined her career. The producers knew that her job was dependent on chemistry with her co-star, and she was involved in Bruce Willis' selection. The series, which is a lighthearted blend of mystery and comedy, received two Golden Globe Awards.
She appeared in Chances Are (1989) with Robert Downey Jr. and Ryan O'Neal, receiving rave reviews. She reprised her role 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 numerous television films. She received her third Golden Globe award for Cybill (1995-1998), a television sitcom in which the title character, Cybill Sheridan, was loosely based on herself (including representations of her two ex-husbands).
Irrepressible Urge to Say What I Believe, Shepherd's best-selling autobiography, Cybill Disobedience: How I Survived Beauty Pageants, Elvis, Sex, Bruce Willis, Lies, Marriage, Motherhood, Hollywood, and Hollywood's Irrepressible Urge to Say What I Believe, written in collaboration with Aimee Lee Ball in 2000, was released. Shepherd hosted a short-lived syndicated talk show version of the book Men Are from Mars, Women Are From Venus in early 2001, but she dropped out in early 2001. She appeared on 8 Simple Rules as Cate Hennessy's sister (portrayed by Katey Sagal). Martha Stewart (2003) and Martha Stewart (2005), Martha Stewart appeared in two television films: Martha Stewart (2003) and Martha Stewart (2005): Behind Bars (2005).

Shepherd appeared in a February episode of the CBS drama Criminal Minds on November 7, 2008. Shepherd appeared in an episode of No Ordinary Family in 2010 and in November of the same year, she appeared in a episode of $! My dad says it.
Shepherd appeared in the 2010 television film The Client List and later in the 2012-13 series based on the film.
Shepherd made her Broadway debut in Gore Vidal's The Best Man at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in July 2012, receiving raves from James Earl Jones, John Stamos, John Larroquette, Kristin Davis, and Elizabeth Ashley.
