The glow of celebrity certainly did not protect Shepherd’s children from tough experiences.
Shepherd married David M. Ford, and together they welcomed Clementine in 1979.

Shepherd-Oppenheim’s sister, Clementine Ford-Wilcox, has had a much harder time with her sexuality.

“Why is the Race to Erase MS Gala so important to me?
Ford-Wilcox first discussed her MS publicly in 2018, via social media.
“I lost feeling in my feet,” she told Soap Opera Digest years later.
“It was very weird to be walking around in soap opera heels.
It’s almost as if I didn’t know where my feet were.
Ford-Wilcox was ultimately let go from the soap, after which she quit acting for many years.
“That whole period of my life was a mess.
Right after that, I was fired!
Ford-Wilcox adopted her pup Winnie in December 2021, and she quickly became a huge part of the family.
She did radio silence,” Ford-Wilcox shared in a tearful Instagram video in May 2022 (viaPeople).

While no details were provided on her retrieval, Winnie was eventually returned home safely.
