It would be nice to be able to say that Cybill Shepherd, the ex-model-turnedactress, is more than just another pretty face. But I’m not sure that she is more.

In Chicago, where she and Peter Bogdanovich were promoting their latest movie, At Long Last Love, she came across as a kind of lightheaded, somewhat shallow, but very friendly 24-year old.

Dressed in a long black dress with a deep slit up one side, she looked enormous. She is tall, but she’s filso a lot larger than you’d ekpect a fashion model to be. She answered the questions rather glibly, laughing occasionally and striking a pouty, pensive pose from time to time.

For example, right at the beginning of the conversation she asked, “Do you want to know what it was like to work with Burt Reynolds?”

The way she asked it made it seem like there was quite a detailed story to be told about her handsome co-star.

When she was encouraged to, by all means, tell what it was like to work with Burt Reynolds, she replied simply, “Terrific!” and started to laugh.

“That’s it—just one word?” she was asked.
