Fire in Cybill Shepherd's Home

Nov. 27 -- A small fire forced actress Cybill Shepherd to vacate her Memphis, Tenn., home Saturday night, The Associated Press reports.

Shepherd called the fire department after seeing smoke in her attic. The outspoken blond actress, who hosts the new daytime talk show Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, said she believed a bedroom fireplace may have been to blame, but officials are still investigating. The flames were quickly contained and no one was injured, according to the AP.

According to the Web site of The Tennessean, it’s not the first fire for the Memphis native’s house. On Sept. 16, 1997, an electrical fire caused minor damage to a porch of the three-story building. No one was home at the time of that mini-blaze, which was spotted by a neighbor walking her dog.

Shepherd, still best known for her ’80s sitcom Moonlighting, started building the home in 1991. She filed a lawsuit in 1995 over alleged water leaks and improperly installed electrical wiring, which she settled out of court.
