Ally McBeal Legend Makes Blunt Admission About Iconic 90s Show
Ally McBeal legend Vonda Shepard has admitted some things on the beloved show, which will celebrate it's 30th anniversary next year, probably wouldn't work in contemporary culture. The 63-year-old starred as a fictionalised version of herself, performing as the resident singer and piano player at the local basement bar where the lawyers from Cage & Fish would gather to decompress at the end of every episode. She also wrote and performed the show's worldwide hit opening theme, Searchin' My Soul and produced over 500 songs for the series. The show focused on the professional and highly chaotic personal life of the titular character Ally McBeal, a young, single Boston lawyer. It became a major cultural phenomenon in the late 1990s and famously gave the world the viral Dancing Baby CGI internet meme, which represented her ticking biological clock.
