Perry Mason Without Perry Mason

Shelley starred in the 1993 TV movie A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Wicked Wives. Raymond Burr, who played Perry Mason, had just died and the telefilm was a sort of tribute to him. In the story, Perry was out of town but he allowed his friend, lawyer Anthony Caruso (played by Paul Sorvino), the use of his office. Barbara Hale, William R. Moses and James McEachin returned to reprise their roles as Della Street, Ken Malansky and Lt. Ed Brock respectively. Three other TV movies followed, all under the title A Perry Mason Mystery.

The TV movie was riddled with Supermodels who all played the "wicked wives" of ill-fated fashion photographer David Morrison (Eric Braeden) the murder victim. Shelley along with Maud Adams, Beverly Johnson, Kim Alexis and Kathy Ireland played David Morrison's wives past and present, all suspects in his murder, all with motives and axes to grind. And all the women looked fabulous - definitely deserving of their Supermodel status. Also, if you look closely, it's interesting to note how evident Shelley's penchant for low-heeled footwear was in this film.
