Cybill Shepherd

Cybill Shepherd is, to me, a study in reinvention. She arrived as a Memphis beauty queen and model, then got plucked for The Last Picture Show and Taxi Driver, surviving the leap from face to actress that sinks most pageant winners. Her three Golden Globes for Moonlighting reveal the real weapon: impeccable comic timing and a willingness to look ridiculous. I respect that she later wrote her own story rather than letting others define her. Beauty got her in the door, but wit and stamina kept her in the room, and longevity like hers is far rarer than a pretty face.
