So the magazine cover I'm looking at right now is 50 years old.

It's the April 1970 issue of Glamour magazine.

I don't spend much time reading Glamour from any year, but this one has cybil shepherd

and the upturned nose.

She looks as if she just overheard you saying something incredibly inappropriate at a party.

She's smiling, sort of daring you to say it again.

That cover caught the attention of Peter Bogdanovich and his wife, Polly Platt.

They saw the magazine standing in a checkout line.

It led to an audition which took cybil shepherd out of Memphis and into Hollywood startup.

And it did more than that.

It caused Peter Bogdanovich, both ecstasy and agony in equal measure.

Hello, it's Ben Mankowitz for Psyllis.

Now 50 years later, cybil shepherd still has that way of looking at you.

It strikes me as she walks down a flight of stairs to the living room of her Sherman

I felt hard for cybil the first time I saw her TV series, Moonlighting in 1985.

I was 18.

She played Maddie Hayes, a former model who finds herself running a detective agency.
