From beauty queen to Hollywood star and finally nett worth of $40 million, Cybill Shepherd's path shows her varied talent and ongoing appeal. Her first public appearance was at the young age of sixteen after she won a beauty competition in Memphis, her birthplace. Her early taste of success set off a passion for the modelling business, which helped her to become among the most sought-after models of her time. Fashion photographers and designers both were immediately drawn to Shepherd's remarkable beauty, which was defined by her golden hair and mesmerising charisma. Shepherd, though, had aspirations outside of the modelling business. Her move to acting followed naturally after her breakthrough performance as a serious actor in Peter Bogdanovich's The Last Picture Show (1971). Along with her part in Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976), this performance demonstrated her own ability to hold her own among some of the most revered performers in the business. Shepherd has shown amazing adaptation over her career, moving between film and television with ease. Her major part in the popular series Moonlighting opposite Bruce Willis strengthened her reputation as a TV classic. Shepherd's ongoing success over several decades in the entertainment business is evidence of her talent, versatility, and ageless appeal.
