Big break
Shepherd was cast as Maddie Hayes on Moonlighting, which ran from 1985 to 1989 and defined her career. The producers wanted chemistry with her co-star, so they involved her in choosing Bruce Willis.
Early training
Shepherd studied acting with Stella Adler, and when offered dinner theater work in Norfolk, Virginia, Orson Welles advised her to gain stage experience away from Los Angeles and New York critics, so she moved back to Memphis for regional theater.
A first
Shepherd's Broadway debut came in July 2012, when she appeared in a revival of Gore Vidal's The Best Man at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre with James Earl Jones, John Stamos and others.
Beyond film
Shepherd launched a singing career that same year, putting out the studio album Cybill Does It...To Cole Porter for MCA Records. Village Voice critic Robert Christgau panned the record.
