The clothes, cars, and sets. How they actually were in the 1980’s.

I’m doing my first rewatch since age 10.

Amazon Prime

When they show Cybil Shepard alone it looks like a soft filter.

Didn't they use a lens coated in Vaseline for those shots?

or you can watch Vice:

Ed O'Neill, Bruce Willis, Dennis Farina, Burt Young, Liam Neeson, Julia Roberts, Jimmy Smits, Benicio del Toro, Viggo Mortensen, G Gordon Liddy, Annette Bening, Pam Grier, John Turturro, Giancarlo Esposito...(yep Gus Friing)

Phil Collins, Glenn Frey, Frank Zappa, Sheena Easton, Miles Davis...

Thats barely scratching the surface. Those are off the top of my head.

I don't think they used it on that still picture. From memory it was mainly when they had a closeup of her face and It's very, very noticeable on the show. People talked about it during the original run.

Yes they shot Cybill thru soft filters on close ups. Very common practice.

Seasons 1-3 are some of the best TV ever made. Seasons 4&5 are bad.

I don't remember it on other shows, that's why it was so noticeable.

Willis is underrated. Became “action man” later in his career but could really do it all. Still remember seeing him in early Miami Vice and he just stuck out even as a no name at the time.

I didn't watch soaps, did watch HtH but don't remember specifics. I could be wrong, I just don't remember anything like this with other shows.

A “Moonlighting” spokesman said the oft-criticized use of a fuzzy-soft focus on Shepherd’s counten a nce was originally employed to effect a ‘30s movies style, making her look extra glamorous. It became overused and has since been greatly reduced.
