Book Review: Cybill Disobedience
Cybill Disobedience: How I Survived Beauty Pageants, Elvis, Sex, Bruce Willis, Lies, Marriage, Motherhood, Hollywood, and the Irrepressible by Cybill Shepherd
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I remember hearing that Cybill Shepherd’s autobiography was a major tell-all when it was released back in 2000. I love celebrity gossip but somehow never got around to reading it so when it was offered as a free Kindle book last year I snagged it.
Cybill definitely tells all about her sexual escapades but didn’t tell very much about anything else. I would have liked to know more about the more personal aspects of her life. This book was basically, “Here is the project I worked on and who I slept with while I was working on it.” There was an extra big dose of ego throughout as well.
Another large part of the book was Cybill trying to disprove her difficult to work with reputation. I thought it was kind of funny – if almost everyone you work with has a problem with you, maybe you should look inward. Because the book came out right after the television series Cybill came out, Cybill spends a disproportionate amount of the book writing about that series and her conflicts with the network, director, and her costars.
I recommend this book to only the most die-hard US Weekly readers or Cybill Shepherd fans.
