Cybill Shepherd recently reminisced about her past relationships with stars like Elvis Presley and Christine Baranski during a special event called “An Evening with Cybill Shepherd: Music, Conversation & Stories.” She shared anecdotes about Presley, describing him as a "great guy" but feeling he was "just a little bit too close to God." Shepherd also performed a song inspired by Presley and shared a fun memory of bonding with Baranski over sake at a bar.
In addition to her friendships, Shepherd also talked about her off-screen romance with Don Johnson while filming The Long Hot Summer in 1985. She revealed that they had a lot of fun behind the scenes, even though they didn't have scenes together in front of the camera. Shepherd also mentioned her role in the film and how she didn't get the part she initially auditioned for.
During the show, Shepherd paid tribute to Orson Welles, whom she referred to as her mentor. She shared that they had lived together at one point and that Welles had a significant influence on her life, helping her stay focused on what was important. The event, held at the Catalina Jazz Club over two nights, featured music, conversation, and stories from Shepherd's career and personal life.
