Cybill Strips Again (37 Years Later)

February 12, 2008

So we’ve noted before how good The L Word people are at homage. But one small piece of last Sunday’s episode really blew us away. Phyllis (Cybill Shepherd) is having a “thank god I’m a lezzie now!” party and everyone’s dancing around the pool and then she gets on the diving board and is about to strip. And maybe we wouldn’t have grokked to what was going on, except that we just rewatched The Last Picture Show and were again blown away by its genius. Especially that horribly awkward and amazing scene where a much younger Cybill Shepherd strips on the diving board at a pool party in Wichita Falls.

Anyhow, the 2008 version of the strip tease gets interrupted by Phyllis’s daughter saying, “Mother!” And we look at that daughter and we think, geeze that girl looks a lot like Cybill looked back in the day. Which, of course, is also fresh in our memory. Very fresh. But yep, turns out, it’s actually Cybill’s daughter, Clementine. So crazy.
