Shelley was a certified Supermodel by 1976. She was able to secure an exclusive contract with Revlon to be the face of their Charlie line. And Shelley didn't disappoint. She catapulted the line (as well as herself) to iconic status. Other models came before her, but Shelley's image is the one that was etched in everyone's memory. Her air of elegance and complete confidence teamed with a sense of approachability was inspiring to so many. Everyone wanted to be a Charlie Girl after she began endorsing the line.
