I wonder if that’s the same Jean Shepherd who wrote “A Christmas Story”

Yes, it is. I didn’t know who Shepherd was until I had seen the movie a couple of times and noticed the name on the credits and decided to look up who “she” was.

There was a female country singer named Jean Shepard (last name spelled differently). They are often confused.
