Brilliant Support

Shelley with Robert DeNiro on the Japanese poster
of the Martin Scorsese feature film The King of Comedy (1983)

Shelley appeared in the Martin Scorsese film The King of Comedy in 1983 and was critically acclaimed for her performance. She was typecast as a bimbo as soon as she left Charlie's Angels and had to prove her worth as an actress. This film showed people she could (and can) act as she stood her ground opposite the brilliant Robert DeNiro. Check out a recent writeup about the film at theeagle.com.
