Cybill Shepherd made a rare sighting in Los Angeles on Tuesday as she took her two small dogs for a walk.
The Hollywood veteran – who got her start 50 years ago and is best known for working with Bruce Willis on the TV show Moonlighting – was seen in a white visor with red framed glasses that matched her red Hawaiian shirt.
This comes after the icon, 71, dropped out of the Showtime sitcom I Love This For You.
Still sporting platinum blonde hair, she complemented her top with a pair of scarlet-rimmed cat-eye specs for her latest outing.
This comes a few months after she exited the Showtime sitcom I Love This For You starring Vanessa Bayer of Saturday Night Live fame.
Cybill had been tapped last November to star in the pilot for the program but it emerged in July that she had left the project.
Her character Patricia Kunken was meant to be the sphinxlike head of a home shopping network – the industry Vanessa’s character is trying to break into.
However after the pilot there were changes made to the character’s trajectory for the overall series, insiders told The Hollywood Reporter.
After those alterations took place Cybill departed the show and has now been replaced by Black-ish actress Jenifer Lewis.
Cybill made her breakthrough with her 1971 debut The Last Picture Show, directed by Peter Bogdanovich who became her mentor.
The two carried on a sensational affair despite the fact he was still married to his collaborator Polly Platt, whom he eventually left for Cybill.
During the 1970s Cybill made memorable films with other directors as well, including The Heartbreak Kid with Elaine May and Taxi Driver with Martin Scorsese.
By the early 1980s her career was in decline – until the former silver screen siren embarked on a whole new phase of stardom on TV.
Beginning in 1985 she and a young Bruce Willis played detectives on the dramedy series Moonlighting, the project that made him famous.
Then in the 1990s she had a successful sitcom called Cybill created by Chuck Lorre and starring her among such names as Christine Baranski and Tom Wopat.
Cybill lasted four seasons – and its lead has since claimed that it ‘would have run another five years’ if she had not turned down CBS honcho Les Moonves’ advances.
She leveled the allegation on The Michelle Collins Show in 2018 after Moonves was accused of sexual misconduct in the wake of the Me Too movement.
When the accusations against him surfaced in The New Yorker, before Cybill added her claims, he staunchly denied them and insisted: ‘I have never used my position to hinder the advancement or careers of women.’
In her personal life Cybill has had two failed marriages that gave her three children, including The L Word actress Clementine Ford.
Nearly a decade ago she announced her engagement to a jeweler turned psychologist called Andrei Nikolajevic but they ultimately never married.
