Cybill Shepherd

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 set of A Gata e o Rato (1985), Cybill would switch from pumps into comfortable Reebok sneakers. Sometimes the sneakers would get caught in scenes during filming.
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".
Cybill was named after her grandfather, Cy, and her father, Bill.
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 (Early 1970s).
Release of her autobiography, "Cybill Disobedience: How I Survived Beauty Pageants, Elvis, Sex, Bruce Willis, Lies, Marriage, Motherhood, Hollywood and the Irrepressible Urge to Say What I Think" by Cybill with Aimee Lee Ball.

I think the measure of your success to a certain extent will be the amount of things written about you that aren't true.
[on her film debut in A Última Sessão de Cinema (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.
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.
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.
[on Marilyn Monroe] She had curves in places most other women don't even have places.
