LOS ANGELES, Jun 7, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Actress Cybill Shepherd will join the cast of Showtime's lesbian drama "The L Word," which follows the lives of several Los Angeles women.

Since the beginning of the 1990s, Shepherd has been a gay-rights activist, participating in rallies and marches, the newspaper said.
