With a career spanning over four decades, this Memphis native has left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry.
Shepherd's film debut was a pivotal moment in her career, playing pin-up girl Jacy Farrow in director Peter Bogdanovich's drama The Last Picture Show (1971). This critically acclaimed film not only launched her Hollywood journey but also marked the beginning of a romance with the director that would last for eight years. Little did anyone know that this was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to Shepherd's romantic escapades.
In the 1970s, Shepherd continued to impress audiences with her roles in The Heartbreak Kid (1972) and Taxi Driver (1976), directed by the iconic Martin Scorsese. Her performance as Betsy in this gritty drama earned her widespread recognition and critical acclaim. The following year, she took on the role of Nancy in Woody Allen's Alice, cementing her status as a Hollywood A-lister.
But it was her television career that truly catapulted Shepherd to stardom. As Madelyn Hayes opposite Bruce Willis in the detective comedy-drama Moonlighting (1985-1989), she became a household name and a staple of 80s television. Her subsequent success in the sitcom Cybill (1995-1998) solidified her status as a beloved television icon.
In recent years, Shepherd has continued to make waves in the entertainment industry with roles in The L Word, Psych, and Criminal Minds. But now, she's setting her sights on a new challenge: cabaret.

In 2012, she became engaged to psychologist Andrei Nikolajevic, only to call off the wedding three years later. It seems that love is always on her mind – or at least, it was until recently. With a reported net worth of over $50 million, Shepherd has come a long way from her early days as a fashion model and beauty queen.
