Cybill Shepherd is celebrating her 68th today. After working as a model in her teens, she was cast by director Peter Bogdanovich as Jacy Farrow in The Last Picture Show, receiving a Golden Globe nomination (and also entering a relationship with the director). She then starred in Elaine May’s The Heartbreak Kid. After this auspicious debut, her film career began to fizzle out—Bogdanovich’s Daisy Miller and At Long Last Love were failures, and a prominent role in Taxi Driver did not reverse her career decline. In the 1980s, she bounced back as one of the stars of ABC’s Moonlighting, winning two Golden Globes as Maddie Hayes.

Shepherd tried to restart her film career in the wake of Moonlighting’s success, but Chances Are, while critically well-received, was a commercial failure, and Texasville, which saw her return to the role of Jacy Farrow, was a flop. By the mid-1990s, she was back on television as the title character and star of Cybill, winning another Golden Globe and receiving three Emmy nominations. More recently, she played Martha Stewart in a pair of TV movies, had a recurring role on the later seasons of The L Word, and was a regular on Lifetime’s The Client List.
