Maddie Hayes from ‘Moonlighting’ Nimbly Uses Cane at 73: After ‘Deadly’ Cancer She Enjoys Grandma Life
Cybill Shepherd gained fame by modeling and became widely known for her role in the 1985 TV show “Moonlighting.” Her modeling career put Cybill on covers across the U.S. since she was 18, and by the time 1971 rolled around, she took advantage of her fame by jumping into a film career.
Her career was skyrocketing. Not only was she now a successful model on countless coffee tables, but her presence also pervaded television. Yet, despite her fame, Cybill still lacked something in her life. The actress wanted a baby of her own.

Cybill’s first love, Peter Bogdanovich, had already had kids with his previous partner and refused to have another. After Cybill and Peter went their separate ways, the actress married and had her first child, Clementine Ford. Sadly, the marriage came to an abrupt end.
Although Cybill panicked about what she saw as her imminent, painful demise, she also worried about her children.

The actress tried marriage one more time after that. Cybill and her second husband had twins, Ariel Shepherd-Oppenheim and Zack Shepherd-Oppenheim. After her second marriage failed, the actress decided to put her career on hold while she raised her kids.
At the age of 52, after finding tremendous commercial success with “Moonlighting” and raising three children, life threw Cybill a curve ball. The actress discovered a patch of rough, dry skin on her back that she described as a “scaly patch.”
The actress was beside herself with joy after her grandson, Elijah Wilcox, was welcomed into the world.
