Cybill is always ‘Moonlighting’

She was here at the TV Critics Association press tour to talk about playing Martha Stewart in a TV movie — again.

But Cybill Shepherd simply couldn’t avoid talking about “Moonlighting” and Bruce Willis — again.

There was chatter about a “Moonlighting” movie.

“I said to (‘Moonlighting’ creator) Glenn Gordon Caron, ‘Everybody wants us to do this movie, why can’t we do this movie? We have to do this movie,’” Shepherd said. “He got this very pained expression and said, ‘I don’t know how to do it.’

“I know that I’ve heard that Bruce would do it if Glenn could figure out a way to do it, but if Glenn can’t figure out a way to do it, I’m probably not going to get a chance to do it,” she said, adding that Caron doesn’t necessarily need to be in the mix. “I’d do it even if (just) Bruce was willing to do it. Not that I don’t love Glenn Gordon Caron, don’t get me wrong.”

Later, Shepherd talked about her relationship with Willis during “Moonlighting,” and whether they look back two decades later and laugh at the way it was portrayed in press.

“I have to say that we did have a very fiery relationship, you know,” she said. “The truth about it is we were fighting all the time. We were fighting because we were passionate. We were passionately attracted to each other, and therefore passionately repulsed by each other. So all that was true — the fighting and all the infighting — that’s what helped make the show good.”
