The Life of 70s Hollywood Icon Cybill Shepherd

In 1975, Shepherd worked with Peter Bogdanovich again on At Long Last Love, a musical comedy built around classic Cole Porter songs. The film placed her alongside Burt Reynolds and Madeline Kahn, giving her another high-profile role during a period when her career was under close watch.

The project carried major expectations, but it struggled badly with critics and audiences. Instead of repairing the doubts that followed Daisy Miller, it added to the backlash surrounding her and Bogdanovich’s creative partnership. And soon, a very different director would place her in a very different kind of film.
