In many ways, she isn’t wrong.
After all, her career started with a bang.
Shepherd was en route to becoming one of the biggest stars of her generation.
Yet in the late ’70s, she announced her retirement from the industry.
However, she continued acting in the ’80s, primarily making appearances on TV shows and made-for-TV movies.
She returned to stardom in 1985, with a lead role oppositeBruce Willisin the TV series “Moonlighting.”
Despite reviving her career, Shepherd never really reached the Hollywood heights everyone had expected her to.
So, whatever happened to Cybill Shepherd?
Let’s take a look.
However, although Shepherd appeared in plenty of well-respected projects, her performances themselves weren’t always critically acclaimed.
Later, Shepherd even agreed with part of the statement.
She added that another reviewer once suggested that she had “all the charm of a hamster.”
“We were not going to be going out after the movie’s over.
But we fell in love.”
A major Hollywood scandal ensued Bogdanovich and his wife divorced and images of Shepherd and Bogdanovich filled the tabloids.
And he helped fill that.
And then he helped me get to the point where I could do things to fill myself up."
However, public perception of the pair wasn’t exactly positive and Shepherd was harshly judged for the scandal.
He told Rolling Stone, “There was a kind ofmoodin the town.”
Clearly, the scandal did nothing to help Shepherd’s burgeoning career.
One of her main goals was to have kids something Bogdanovich hadn’t been interested in.
“He already had two kids with Polly Platt and didn’t want any more.
I really wanted to have children,” she toldVentura Blvd.
Her children quickly became one of her main focuses.
She moved to California’s San Fernando Valley and began living a more quiet life.
“I just thought the Valley was a better place to raise kids.
The Valley is down to earth and my kids went to school here,” she said.
According to Curtis, their feud might have been a result of a short-lived fling between the two co-stars.
Shepherd herself has spoken of their initial flirtation.
Still, Shepherd maintained that she has nothing but love for her former co-star.
In fact, over the years, she’s developed a reputation as being something of a diva.
“That’s why she was the way she was” (viaNine).
Shepherd’s co-stars on the sitcom “Cybill” have also spoken up about the actor’s diva tendencies.
I was fine working with her.
Politically, it did get difficult, but I wish her well."
It was ‘to be continued’ at the end of the very last episode!"
“It was because of the deal between the connection and the studio.”
According to Shepherd, it was simply a money issue that led to the show’s cancellation.
She added, “The cancellation of ‘Cybill’ had nothing to do with the quality or anything.
It was just over a deal.”
“My show could’ve lasted another five years,” she said toSiriusXM.
“He didn’t make it easier.
I made the right decision.”

At first, Shepherd feared that her fans wouldn’t like the show that saw Shepherd in same-sex relationships.
“I was very happy,” she told Bullz-Eye of the show.
“They created a wonderful character for me.”
For the first time, Shepherd found herself playing an older woman.
“They were all playing these wonderful older characters in their prime,” she toldThe Florida Times-Union.
“And I feel like this is my chance to do that.”
Shepherd was also thrilled to be on the show because she liked its premise.
“These are very hard times.
It’s a story about how women struggle to survive.”
And she was thrilled to have a part in telling it.
First, she dated Robert Martin in the ’90s.
“I consider myself married.
However, they split in 1998.
“I have a number of men I’m seeing now,” she wrote forThe Guardianin 2008.
In 2012, she told The Florida Times-Union that she was dating again.
“Mum’s the word.
We’ve managed to stay under the radar,” she said at the time.
However, the pair parted ways before tying the knot.
A few years later, she toldEntertainment Tonightthat her broken heart led to her finding her faith.
Although the film didn’t exactly get good reviews, Shepherd was proud of her work.
In fact, she told Venture Blvd it was “my best work yet.”
She added, “I think it is one of my best performances.”
“I hope this movie will give me the opportunity to do more,” she said.
“It is hard to look at myself though,” she said.
“I don’t love the way I look.”
After all, she began singing as a child in church before studying opera.
As she writes in her online biography, “Music is my first love.”
And even if the venues weren’t exactly massive, she was happy.
“I just want to spend an evening with my longtime fans.
In February 2023, she was spotted out for a walk with her dogs in Los Angeles.
And that home looks like a pretty luxurious place to relax between jobs.
The property features a tall wall for privacy.
Inside, the home features a soothing Cape Cod-meets-Southern-style design.
By the looks of things, the quiet life in the Valley is agreeing with her.
Shepherd is also set to appear in the upcoming horror film “A Beating Heart.”
However, since then, she seems to have found a way to embrace aging.
In fact, as an older woman, Shepherd finally feels that she understands the bigger picture.
“Life now becomes more of a spiritual journey.”
