15 Oct
Summary
- Cybill Shepherd relieved feud with Bruce Willis resolved after his dementia diagnosis
- Shepherd and Willis had on-set tension during 'Moonlighting' that spilled into real life
- Shepherd also reconciled with 'Cybill' co-star Christine Baranski in recent years

In a recent interview, veteran actress Cybill Shepherd, now 75 years old, shared her relief at having reconciled with her former 'Moonlighting' co-star Bruce Willis, 70, following his dementia diagnosis and retirement from acting last year. The pair's on-screen tension and bickering as private detectives David Addison and Maddie Hayes had captivated viewers during the show's run from 1985 to 1989, but that dynamic had also spilled over into their real-life relationship.
Shepherd recalled that the long hours and intense work schedule had taken a toll, with Willis once admitting they "didn't get along very well" on set. Their feud continued even after the show ended, with Willis dismissing the idea of a reunion in a 1990 interview. However, Shepherd says the two have since reconciled, with the actress expressing gratitude that they were able to put their differences aside.
Shepherd also revealed that she has mended fences with her 'Cybill' co-star Christine Baranski, 73, with whom she had a strained relationship during the 1990s sitcom's run from 1995 to 1998. Shepherd attributed the healing of that rift to an open and honest conversation between the two actresses.
