Sound Bite: Cybill Shepherd – Fighting to get this out
Yes it took ten years to get the Cybill show out and I got very discouraged over the years I would beg them I would plead with them I would say I’ll pay for it to come out I just want people to be able to see it because so many fans would approach me and say what happened to the show? What happened because it was never an ending show it still says to be continued.

Sound Bite: Cybill Shepherd Did you felt left high and dry since it was left hanging?
Well actually um once I was off camera they had a writer at the time who refused to let me be part of the colaberative process of editing, and they cut out my, in the last episode, my last song that I sang, and this was very heart breaking for me. You know a year later I went back and I called them up and I said I would like to see to have that footage for my archives and they said we don’t have it it’s buried in a salt mine in Utah somewhere. And I really did feel like my career was buried in a salt mine in Utah, it was a devastating and it’s not you know for a show that was so popular and was so cutting edge we really it reflected very badly on me, as an actor and it was a real struggle, it was a real struggle to get work, and now I am working like crazy and it’s so funny that it would happen, it started to happen like six months ago. It started with the L Word, than I’ve started working on other shows and I am getting ready to work on my third independent low budget film, and uh it all happened at the same time that this Cybill show is coming out on DVD it’s amazing.

Sound Bite: Cybill Shepherd Was it a struggle to get the Cybill show on the air
Well I have to say that we snuck this one under the door, they didn’t, the network didn’t know what they were getting into and it was a wonderful time in Television where nobody seemed to be paying excruciating attention to every word, until we did the valentine’s episode. Ok so the valentine’s day episode, we were the first people ever even before Eve Ensler to say that Valentine’s day stands for vagina and so the network censor said you can’t say vagina so we said so how about volva, and he said fine we thought oh my god does he not know what it is? And then the network was the highest rated show and then they said the CBS said thanks for the ratings never do anything like that again. And we’re never running it again, so this is the first time in history you will get to see the ground breaking Valentine’s day episode.

Sound Bite: Cybill Shepherd Something controversial with the person who played Maryanne her drinking?
I’ll tell you what happened, we had a spy on the set, I am not making this up, and he was making up lies and rumors about Maryanne and I, Christine and I competing against each other what ever and I found out who he was a very famous person told me who he was and we got rid of him but by then the damage had been done, and the tabloid press all of a sudden they’re blaming the blonde here, of course Christine is blonde too, um but yeah there is always controversy. (talking) Can’t wait. (talking) oh yes I can see that. (talking)
