in a scene from Annie Hall, 1977
Shelley's first foray into film came via the classic Academy award-winning 1977 film Annie Hall which was directed - and starred in - by Woody Allen. She played a "street stranger" who comes across Woody's character Alvy. Her scene was brief, but it remains one of the most memorable in the entire film. James Burge played her boyfriend in the same scene.
