===Return to Hollywood===
In 1982, Shepherd returned to New York and to the stage when she played alongside [[James MacArthur]] in a theatre tour of ''Lunch Hour'' by [[Jean Kerr]].<ref>{{cite web|date=August 4, 1982|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=NBpJAAAAIBAJ&dq=james%20macarthur%20cybill%20shepherd&pg=1112%2C382002|title=MacArthur & Shepherd star in ''Lunch Hour''|work= [[The Hour (newspaper)|The Hour]]|access-date=August 30, 2012}}</ref> The following year, Shepherd went back to Los Angeles and was cast as Colleen Champion in the [[NBC]] television drama ''[[The Yellow Rose]]'' (1983), opposite [[Sam Elliott]]. Although critically acclaimed, the series lasted only one season. A year later, Shepherd was cast as Maddie Hayes on ''[[Moonlighting (TV series)|Moonlighting]]'' (1985–1989), a role that defined her career. The producers knew that her role depended on having "chemistry" with her co-star, and involved her in the selection of [[Bruce Willis]]. A lighthearted combination of [[Mystery fiction|mystery]] and [[comedy]], the series won Shepherd two [[Golden Globe Award]]s.<ref name="Cybill Shepherd - Awards">{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001732/awards|title=Cybill Shepherd - Awards|website=[[IMDb]]|access-date=April 5, 2011}}</ref>

In 1997, she won her third Golden Globe award<ref name="Cybill Shepherd - Awards"/> for ''[[Cybill]]'' (1995–1998), a television [[sitcom]] in which the title character, Cybill Sheridan, an actress struggling with hammy roles in [[B movie]]s and bad [[soap opera]]s, was loosely modeled on herself,  including portrayals of her two ex-husbands and her then-teenage daughter.
