Cybill Shepherd became an instant star in the 1970s and had a love affair with one of the most legendary rockstars of all time - Elvis Presley. The 73-year-old shot to fame from her breakthrough roles in The Last Picture Show in 1971 and then The Heartbreak Kid the next year.
Following her film success, Cybill was told at just 22 years old that Elvis wanted to meet her after being impressed by her on-screen talent. Shepherd said: "He asked me out through a mutual guy we knew and I said, 'No, he said he’d call me himself!'
"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."
The actress admitted: "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."
Despite just being 22 at the time, Cybill was already quite sure of herself. The legendary actress has spoken multiple times over the years about her relationship with the singer and hasn't held back about their sex life.
As reported in The Express, Cybill recalled that despite Elvis' impressive skills in the bedroom she still had to teach him a thing or two. Referring to a chapter in her autobiography, Cybill Disobedience, she mentioned Elvis. The chapter, which was titled "White boys don't eat...", mentioned how Elvis was reluctant to perform oral sex on Cybill.
She said: "I had to teach him how to do it. There are worse things to teach a man to do!"
While their love affair was short-lived, Cybill stated they split due to Elvis' prescription drug habit. Shepherd said: "I really liked him. I thought he was very warm. And one of the most beautiful men I’d ever seen.
"As I spent more time with him, I realised he did have a drug dependency - and I’ve never been interested in drugs at all."
