Damn solid film debut by Cybill Shepherd


That was an impressive performance for a newcomer. Just wondering why she came in so late into the business (21 years of age at the time).

She was a model in high school and afterwards. Peter Bogdanovich was running casting calls and while in the market he saw a glamor magazine with Cybil on the front cover and said that's Jacy. The rest is history

Cybill was amazingly good looking girl.

Came in so late? <puzzled>

According to Jeff Bridges he was 20 when he made this film, so she must've been 19 at the time.

A star-making performance. One of the most beautiful faces to ever grace the screen. She's never been hotter than here, not even Taxi Driver.
