Cybill Shepherd, The Last Picture Show
Cybill Shepherd’s role as Betsy in Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver is admittedly what cemented her career as an actress. Starring alongside Robert DeNiro caught the attention of many people thus propelling her to fame.
In the 1980s, her fame grew even more in the TV show Moonlighting where she played Maddie Hayes, the owner of a failing detective agency and the love interest of Bruce Willis’ character. The on-screen couple became an instant hit, and their show lasted for about four years.
