Shelley played Captain Marilyn Stark in the pilot episode of the Steven Spielberg produced TV series Seaquest DSV in 1993. Marilyn Stark was the original captain of Seaquest DSV (Deep-Submergence Vehicle,) an underwater vessel designed for peacekeeping and scientific missions. But when she attempted to use it to start a war, she was relieved of command. Bitter, she exacted revenge and plotted the demise of Seaquest, now under the command of her former teacher and mentor, Captain Nathan Bridger, who designed the vessel.  For more about Captain Stark, check out http://www.urbandruid.net/stark/index.htm
