She was perfectly cast in Last Picture Show, Heartbreak Kid, and Taxi Driver. I can't imagine anyone playing those three characters better.

She was wonderful. Great in all of them.

She’s a drunk and a grifter.

I would not have hired that has been for Moonlighting. And, I would have been wrong. She was great in that.

(Cybill the sitcom was terrible though)

It's easy (and cheap) to make fun of Cybill, but she starred in three of the best films of the 1970s and one of the best television series of the 1980s so she deserves her propers.

Moonlighting has such a special place in my heart, I loved everything about it, Cybill was never more gorgeous, & Bruce Willis was such a breakout star. The music, the decor, Cybill’s wardrobe…I could go on & on.

She was perfectly cast/used well in both Last Picture Show and Taxi Driver.

I think I'm the only person who really likes the remake of The Lady Vanishes with Cybill and Elliott Gould.

I read once that Cybil was initially to play Linnet in Death on the Nile.

The Cybill sitcom was good in its first season, maybe first season and a half.

None of the above

My vote is all that counts so "The Last Picture Show". I don't regard her as an actress. Boring and affected celeb. She was quite pretty. Like a Breck girl.

I liked her in the Breck shampoo ads where she didn't speak.

I had to give her line readings before every take just to get her through "The Last Picture Show".

She would've been a perfect partner for Dr. Dick - both malignant narcissist.

"At Long Last Love" was one of the biggest bombs in Hollywood history.

R17, At Long Last Love has undergone a critical reevaluation in the past few years. Keep up!

R19, news flash! Box office revenue isn't relevant to the quality of a movie. Keep up!!

She's usually pretty good at an all-you-can eat buffet if she's wearing elastic pants.

Yeah, "At Long Last Love" is one of the greatest movies EVER made!

And Cybill Shepherd the greatest and most beautiful actress EVER!
