What about the feud between Bruce and her? --69.37.3.59 18:37, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

• • • Model of the Year***

It was in either 1967 or 1968 that she won the title of Model of the Year. I remember being enthralled with this show. It aired weekday afternoons during the summer of either 1967 or 1968. It competed with the soaps of the time. Each day one girl would win and then all the winners competed against each other. Cybill was the ultimate winner. Quite deservedly so, as I recall. I was only about 11 years old at the time but do remember this distinctly. Cybill also makes reference to her Model of the Year win in her book.

[edit] Elvis material?

I notice this text was removed without comment earlier:

"Shepherd also met Elvis Presley in 1972, and she mentions in her autobiography that they had a short, uneventful affair. Years later, in an interview with E! television, Shepherd spoke of the relationship with Presley, saying, "He was a wonderful lover, very sexy." ^{[citation needed]}"

Should it be put back in? If so, then all of it or just the first sentence? --A. B. 21:40, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pagan?

I have removed the following section:

At the Golden Globe awards in 1995. First she "thanked God". Then she kind of stopped a minute - you could see she was making up her mind. She took a deep breath and said "And I want to thank the Great Mother Goddess for the gift of righteous anger and for all Her strength and inspiration. Blessed Be!" Later when she was interviewed she was asked what she was going to do after she got home, and she said "have a drink, get laid and cast a spell or two." [1]

If it's true, it would have made news; Google search wasn't really helpful (a few mentions at discussion boards etc.), but if it took place in 1995, the articles probably won't be online any more. More research is necessary. (Note: the adherents.com page lists a personal website [2] as its source.) - Mike Rosoft 09:02, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Added an interview quote yesterday that's a little more succinct. Unfortunately it's in Trivia right now, but could be moved elsewhere, probably. -- nae'blis 12:42, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Glamour magazine cover

I believe it was Polly Platt, the wife of Peter Bogdanovich, who actually saw the Glamour magazine cover in a Ralph's grocery store somewhere in southern California, and brought it to Peter. At the time, they were in pre-production for The Last Picture Show. I'll check on the sourcing, but I do have the interview with Polly Platt where she talks about the discovery of Shepherd.

PS: In the interview, Platt also talks about the affair that her husband had with Cybill. Famspear (talk) 05:33, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Political activism

Can someone expand on the gay right and abortion rights activism she has been involved in? Personally I don't know much about her and I was pleasantly surprised to read this, but do you have evidence? Also, I saw on tv more than once some negative reference about Cybill Shepherd being something like a poor excuse of woman, someone women should be ashamed of, or something like that. I have never read about that and was wondering where this would come from, if she has been very active in some field to generate such a response? 195.190.180.28 (talk) 22:05, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
