Cybill Shepherd's actress daughter Clementine Ford has 'come out' as gay, five years after divorcing her husband.

The 29-year-old, who played the daughter of Shepherd's lesbian character in TV show The L Word, made the revelation on gay news site TheAdvocate.com.

She says, "Look, I am gay. I just wanted there not to be this big emphasis on it." Ford ended her four year marriage to actor Chad Todhunter back in 2004.
