Cybill Disobedience | Cybill Shepherd

Growing up, one of my weekly TV viewing highlights were the repeats of 'Moonlighting' shown on British tv. The quick wit back-&-forth between David Addison & Maddie Hayes was a treat, until they brought Bert Viola onto the scene. I decided to read Shepherd's autobiography on a whim & it was OK.

'Moonlighting' itself takes up a very small part in the book (a couple of chapters at the most) & the majority of it is about Shepherd's love life.

OutsmartYourShelf I agree with her about the dearth of onscreen roles for women of a certain age, & her refusal to be shamed for not living her life how she was expected to was refreshing to read, but the revolving door of men got old very quickly.

It started to feel just a bit tawdry after a while, & I cannot believe that she was annoyed with the estranged wife of one man for not wanting her on set

OutsmartYourShelf I mean, you had an affair with her husband & he left her for you, why would you think she wants to see your face every day? Still, you lose them how you get them.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!) Feel free to join in!

Talk about #sassy! Actress and activist Cybill gets my vote. For telling it like it in this (omg!) hilarious memoir (from 2000) and rallying for years for women's rights and equality. (She's pictured here with Whoopi Goldberg, Marlo Thomas and Gloria Steinem at a women's march back in 1989.)
P.S. Her stories about dating Elvis are priceless! ☺️#anditsaugust
