CYBILL SHEPHERD

With the sheer number of blockbusters she has been in, it’s hard to really pinpoint the roles Cybill truly shone in. Fans of the actress will argue that she made every character brilliant—something that we’re sure even non-fans might agree with. Cybill did receive plenty of credit for her performance as Jacy in The Last Picture Show, and for her part as Betsy in Taxi Driver. Now that she is 70 years of age, Shepherd can still be seen in films and TV shoes.

She is also a mother to the talented actress, Clementine Ford. The mother-daughter duo even worked together on the show The L Word—proving that the apple didn’t fall that far from the tree. At the length of her career, Shepherd is quite active and outspoken for issues such as gay rights. In 2009, she was given the honor by the Human Rights Campaign in Atlanta with one of  the two National Ally for Equality awards.
