Cybill Shepherd was seen on a rare public outing in LA this week – days before her and Bruce Willis’ iconic show Moonlighting will make its debut on Hulu on October 10.
The legendary actress, 73, cut a casual figure as she headed out in a blue blouse and cargo pants.
She completed the ensemble with aviator shades and black and white sneakers for the outing.
The star showed off her beauty with her blonde locks swept back from her make-up free visage.
Moonlighting aired from 1985 – 1989, with Bruce, 68, playing private detective David Addison Jr. alongside Cybill Shepherd as Maddie Hayes and Allyce Beasley as Agnes DiPesto.

Hollywood icon Bruce has now retired from acting after being diagnosed with Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) – an uncommon form of dementia which causes a deterioration in behavior, personality and language.
Cybill rose to fame as an actress and model in the 1970s and has had a string of legendary lovers, including Elvis Presley.
Her role in 1971’s The Last Picture Show made her an instant star and her fame intensified the following year with her role in The Heartbreak Kid.
When she was 22, Elvis wanted to meet her after seeing her on-screen. ‘He asked me out through a mutual guy we knew and I said, “No, he said he’d call me himself,”‘ the Taxi Driver actress said in an interview with The Express.
‘So then my best friend Jane picked up the phone and said, “Oh my God, it’s Elvis!” We arranged to meet at a big theatre he would rent out through midnight. We were waiting for him forever. When he finally got there, everybody in the row to my right got up. In Memphis, he had kind of a Memphis mafia,’ she revealed.
‘At the time I thought he was too old for me – the Beatles were my music – but there was this chemistry between us… He smelled soapy, and sweet, like sugar and sweat. I felt a lot for him,’ the Chances Are star admitted.
And Elvis isn’t the only leading man she was drawn to. The Once Upon a Crime star admitted she was attracted to her Moonlighting co-star Bruce back in the day.
And apparently, that attraction was mutual.

‘My temperature went up 10 degrees,’ the actress told Extra. ‘That meant two things to me: one, I was very attracted to him, two, I would never act on it, ’cause we were both very attracted to each other.’
She added, ‘I will always love Bruce.’
Cybill also said that Bruce was the only guy they wanted for their TV show.
‘I just have to say one thing about Bruce,’ she said. ‘No one else was ever considered for the part when he walked in the room.’
In March 2022, Willis’ family announced that he has retired from acting due to aphasia.
Last week, his family gave a health update on the Sixth Sense star.
In February 2023, they revealed the actor has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
FTD affects the lobes of the brain behind the forehead, which deal with behavior, problem-solving, planning and emotions – with symptoms including personality changes, obsessive behavior and speaking difficulties.
‘Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces,’ his family said in their statement. ‘While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.’
