Shelley was on the cover of the premiere issue of Women Today back in August of 1977. With the success of her 1976 Charlie perfume commercial, she had become the embodiment the new independent young woman - sexy, gorgeous, free, confident and successful all on her own - because the Charlie Girl that Shelley portrayed/projected was a women who had it all. And her 30-second spot did a lot more than promote perfume. It affected many women into thinking that they too could be a Charlie Girl, they too could have it all. Even the young Oprah Winfrey wanted to be a Charlie Girl. As Oprah confessed in 2008 when Shelley appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, "I wanted to stride like her with confidence. I wanted to be this fabulous." So it's only appropriate that Shelley graced the cover of this magazine.
