Fascination

Shelley on the cover of Fascinacion in 1980

Shelley's casting in Charlie's Angels in 1979 was a worldwide event - covered by the entertainment news around the world. She appeared on many magazine covers throughout the latter half of 1979 and the early 1980s. One of them was Fascnacion (Fascination), a Spanish-language magazine.

Shelley's Fascinacion cover pic flipped

Shelley's pics would sometimes be inverted when they appear on magazines. An immediate indicator would be the parting of her hair which, in pictures, would normally be on the left side (although at times it was parted on the right, which was quite rare). Other indicators would be those tiny quirks and imperfections that make faces uniquely beautiful. For example, when looking straight at her pictures on magazines, her nose veers ever so slightly to the left and ends with a slight cleft on the tip (like a cleft chin). Also her jaw is ever so slightly more square on the left side than the right side. Her eye on the left is ever so slightly bigger than one on the right. Plus, when she smiles, the left side of her mouth arcs upward while the right side arcs downward. But all these features put together, quirks and all, is what makes Shelley the unique beauty that she is.
