Rare hand signed Cybill Shepherd black and white photo.
Cybill Lynne Shepherd (born February 18, 1950) is an American actress, singer and former model. Her best known roles include starring as Jacy in The Last Picture Show, as Betsy in Taxi Driver, as Madeleine Spencer in Psych, as Maddie Hayes in Moonlighting, as Cybill Sheridan in Cybill, and as Phyllis Kroll in The L Word. According to Shepherd’s autobiography, it was a 1970 Glamour magazine cover that caught the eye of film director Peter Bogdanovich. His then-wife, Polly Platt, claimed that it was she who, upon seeing the cover in a check-out line in a Ralphs grocery store in southern California, said “That’s Jacy,” referring to the role Bogdanovich was casting — and ultimately offered to Shepherd — in The Last Picture Show (1971). In her autobiography Shepherd claims she dated Elvis Presley in the early 1970s and cared for him but could not handle his dependence on drugs and ultimately chose her boyfriend, film director Peter Bogdanovich, over Presley. She agreed to a date with actor Jack Nicholson to make Bogdanovich jealous. She later canceled the date and Nicholson would not speak to her again, except to say “hi” at a party many years later.
