Cybill Shepherd Trivia
|
- 1968 graduate of Memphis East High School
- 140 lbs. in 1996 (Source: Star Magazine)
- Was the presenter of the 1973 Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role at the ceremony held on April 2, 1974, along with co-presenter Ernest Borgnine. When Shepherd, reading through the list of nominees, reached John Houseman, she credited his performance to "Paper Moon" instead of the film in which he had actually appeared, "The Paper Chase." After her error, Shepherd said "Oops!" and soldiered on. When she reached Randy Quaid, she credited his Oscar-nominated performance to "The Last Picture Show." Although Quaid had indeed appeared in "The Last Picture Show," the movie his nominated role had appeared in was "The Last Detail," directed by Hal Ashby. "Oops again," Miss Shepherd lamely apologized. Both "mispronouncements" were films directd by her then-lover, Peter Bogdanovich. The "mix-ups" were seen by the audience in the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion as a crass and calculated attempt to be "cute," according to Oscar historian Robert Osbourne.
- Has a daughter, Clementine, from her first marriage
- During an appearance at the 1985 Emmy Awards, she wore orange Reebok Freestyle hitop sneakers. This appearance gained her some fashion critism for wearing orange Reeboks with a black formal strapless gown. Even on the Moonlighting set, Cybill would switch from pumps into comfortable Reebok sneakers. Sometimes the sneakers would get caught in scenes during filming.
