Description: Great reading from Cybill Shepherd in Cybill Disobedience: How I Survived Beauty Pageants, Elvis, Sex, Bruce Willis, Lies, Marriage, Motherhood, Hollywood, and the Irrepressible Urge to Say What I Think. This 294 page hardback was published in 2000. From the DJ we read, "Few women in the past three decades have lit up the American imagination like Cybill Shepherd. From wholesome beauty queen to saucy cove girl, from heartbreaking movie star (The Last Picture Show) to one of television's most beloved comediennes (Moonlighting and Cybill), she has imbued each of her roles-right down to her current passions as devoted mother of three, champion of women's issues, and sultry cabaret singer-with an indomitable spirit that has made her, at fifty, a female icon to an entire generation. Now in her much-anticipated memoir, she tells her remarkable story with humor, pathos, and more highlights than her famously blond hair. Cybill has absorbed hte lessons of Southern womanhood, including the whispered message about sex: Wait until you're married, then you won't enjoy it, and certainly never speak of it. She gleefully disobeyed these and other rules of decorum in a career laced with controversy,featuring unforgettable cameos by Martin Scorsese, Peter Bogdanovich, Orson Wells, Robert de Niro, and Jeff Bridges. Whether stepping on Elvis's blue suede shoes or going toe-to-toe with Bruce Willis, Cybill has never held anything back, and it's all in Cybill Disobedience, including: *the night a network executive tried to barter thirteen episodes for a horizontal tour of Cybill's bedroom, *why she'' never be invited back to Ryan O'Neal's beach house or Marlon Brando's island, "the time she greeted David Letterman in nothing but a towel, *the real reason two of television's most popular and acclaimed series died premature deaths, *how she made Richard Nixon blush for the first and only time in his life. From her Memphis roots to he insider's track in Hollywood, Cybill Shepherd is a woman who has weathered every onslaught and withstood every rebuke to emerge as a luminous model of endurance, courage, and an insatiable lust for life."
