Last week we shared a little secret we discovered while watching the L Word: the addictive lesbian drama is a fountain of youth. Like a fine wine, the actresses who drink from the L Word waters get... finer with age. Last week we profiled Pam Grier's Kit Porter. So without further ado, we present our second Long-Lastingly- Luscious L Word Lady of the Week.
Another classic actress, whose renaissance was brought to you by
the L Word, Cybill Shepherd comes out of the acting closet and struts her stuff into the
role of Phyllis Kroll, the erstwhile straight, married-with-children high-powered intellectual dean, who comes out later in life, but is making
up for lost time. Phylis isn't just catching up on L action, she's catching up on her L words. And she is one quick study. A few weeks ago Phylis learned the word “u-haul”: to move in with your girlfriend in a u-haul, on your 3rd date. And now knows that the T in LGBT, means trans ( not tentative, you silly goose.) Over the weekend Phylis was less than supportive of her daughter's Shane-anigans with Lady-Killer Shane, who the culture Phylis calls "Lothario." Phylis, look out! Since you and your daughter (played by your real-life daughter Clementine Ford) could pass for twins, chances are, Shane would be into you too. Because Shane knows what we know: whether she’s having her first time with Alice (Leisha Haley), being wined and
dined by the BLOC (Big Lawyer/Lesbian on Campus) Joyce ( the HILARIOUS Jane
Lynch), or skinny dipping with lesbian friends, Cybill’s not Moonlighting at being sexy. Cybill is sexy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
To be continued... So come
back next week, for the next episode.
