Star prepares for her greatest role
By ROSS BRUNDRETT

WARREN Beatty might have bowed out of the race for the US presidency, but apparently Hollywood star Cybill Shepherd is made of sterner stuff.
The star of defunct TV favorites Cybill and Moonlighting breezed into Melbourne yesterday refusing to count herself out of the greatest starring role of all ... in the White House.
"I am looking at ways of serving the American people," was the statesman-like reply from the outspoken actor, who claims to have missed out on many movie roles because she always spoke her mind.
She said she was urged to stand for the presidency because the only other female candidate was an anti-abortionist.
"I was asked to stand to put up the pro-choice side of the argument and things just started from there," she said.
When asked whether she was committed to running for America's highest office, she replied: "Well, we're talking about it aren't we?"
"I think it is crucial that the next president is pro-choice ..."[/quote]

OK, so she's pro-choice ... anyone know what her stance is on RKBA and firearms ownership in general?? (And don't laugh -- Ronald Reagan made it, didn't he?)
