CYBILL SHEPHERD | 71

Actress and former model, Cybil Shepherd, who’s best known for her role as Jacy in The Last Picture Show, and Kelly in The Heartbreak Kid, once amusingly said that it’s tough to be beautiful, but that she persists. Indeed, one can’t help but lock their eyes on Shepherd as she enters a room, given how tall and beautiful she is (she is reportedly 6 feet tall!). To her credit, she’s still, at 70 years of age, looking like her graceful and pretty self, and is inspiring others to welcome the aging process as inevitable and beautiful.

Truly, being pretty comes with a lot of expectations and a lot of attention – both wanted and unwanted. Being the big celebrity that she is, Shepherd really recognized this. Her full acceptance of her body is inspiring to everyone. Though she uses her charm to her advantage, and she embraces aging as a natural phenomenon.
