The Beauty of Retrospect, American Actress Edition: Cybill Shepherd, 1972

I only paid tribute to Cybill Shepherd here once, with a recent picture. Here's a picture of Ms. Shepherd in her younger years, photographed by Irving Penn.

This is from 1972, when she was the hottest ingenue of the Hollywood New Wave, having wowed audiences with her performance in Peter Bogdanovich's The Last Picture Show the year before.

And like a fine wine, she's only gotten better with age. :-)

I don't know if I can say the same thing for Bogdanovich . . ..
