Taking Back My Life: The Nancy Ziegenmeyer Story

Shelley appeared in the 1992 TV movie Taking Back My Life: The Nancy Ziegenmeyer Story. Based on a true-to-life story, the film tackled the life story of rape victim Nancy Ziegenmeyer and her brave battle to come out in public with her very private ordeal and put a face on victims of rape and abuse. In the film, Shelley played Assistant Polk County Attorney Nan Horvat who prosecuted and won the case. Shelley donned a brunette wig for the role and gave a truly fine performance. Patricia Wettig played the title role of Nancy Ziegenmeyer; and Stephen Lang played her Nancy's husband Steven. Shelley husband, Harry Winer, directed the TV movie and was and one of the executive producers.
