Cybill Shepherd Reflects on Her Hollywood Relationships During L.A. Show

Cybill Shepherd is taking a walk down memory lane!

The Moonlighting star, 75, opened up on Friday, Oct. 17, about her relationships with Elvis Presley, Christine Baranski and other stars during “An Evening with Cybill Shepherd: Music, Conversation & Stories,” a show produced by Chris Isaacson Presents and music directed by Sunnie Paxson.

In the introduction of her song “Graceland (Revisited),” Shepherd discussed Presley, who died at the age of 42 in 1977, and her impression of the King of Rock. She said that while he was a “great guy,” he was “just a little bit too close to God or somebody.”

“[He inspired] this next song I wrote with Tom Adams, my former musical director,” she shared as she began the song.

After the song concluded, she added, “Elvis was really cool though.”

Sometime during her performance, she also shared a sweet story of how she and Baranski, 73, once bonded while drinking sake at a bar — and how the Mamma Mia! actress helped keep her from making a mess.

“We were at a bar. We were drinking sake. That’s right … I was dancing on the bar because in a Japanese restaurant I climbed on top of the bar singing ‘That’s Life’ with some sake in my hand. Christine yelled out ‘sake, sake, sake’ to remind me not to drop it,” she recalled.

“She was great. We were great together,” she added of their friendship.

However, friendships aren’t the only thing that Shepherd dished on during her approximately two-hour show. She also opened up about her behind-the-scenes romance with Don Johnson, 75, on the set of their 1985 film,The Long Hot Summer.

“Don Johnson and I did not do scenes together, but we did have a lot of fun,” she explained. “No, we didn’t do scenes in front of the camera, we messed around behind the camera.”

“They said I was too pretty for the Joanne Woodward part for the remake of The Long, Hot Summer. I didn’t hit that part, but I got another part,” she added of her role in the 1985 remake, in which she played Eula Varner.

During the program, the Taxi Driver star also made sure to shout out actor, writer, director and producer Orson Welles, whom she called her “mentor.” She also shared that she and Welles even “lived together once.”

“He came to live with [director] Peter Bogdonovich and I,” she recalled. “And Orson and I got very close and he was a great influence in my life and helped me stay focused on what was important. Keep my focus on that and just keep moving. So that was good.”

“An Evening with Cybill Shepherd: Music, Conversation & Stories” was a two-night show at the Catalina Jazz Club on Oct. 17 and Oct. 18.
