Cybill says Elvis Doesn't Care about Gai People

Many years ago, you dated Elvis Presley. How did you meet?
Cybill Shepherd: [In a thick Southern accent] His people called me up, actually. It was before the fat Elvis, bless his heart! I definitely had a love affair with Elvis before the fat Elvis. I think it was ’73 or ’74. If you really want to know, I wrote a book called Cybill Disobedience, and you can get it on the Internet. The title of the chapter about Elvis is “White Boys Don’t Eat.”

Oh my God. What did you do on those dates?
Cybill Shepherd: Ate chicken-fried steak, deep-fried peanut-butter-and-mayonnaise sandwiches. He had screenings every Wednesday night at this huge movie theater—private screenings with 50 of his closest friends. One of the movies we saw was Sunday Bloody Sunday. They started running the picture, and there was a scene between two gay men. Elvis said, “Ew, gross. Turn off the movie!”

How do you feel about this move to ban models who are too thin?
Cybill Shepherd: I think it’s one of the most important things that anybody could do. When I see women that thin, and they look like they’re starving to death, I go, Oww. When I see women walk across the street in high heels, with every step in my head, I’m going, Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch. It doesn’t turn me on. So many of them on the runway just look like big blanks. I just find that horrific. I can’t look at the clothes. I find myself looking at the woman. Makes me want to go have a big, old cheeseburger.
