1970s Beauty

Shelley was one of the unforgettable beauty icons of the 1970s. In 1978, Mademoiselle magazine said, 'Shelley's brand of beauty is all-American and wholesome; you just like her." The mag added "Shelley projects in photographs: like a '60s cheerleader all grown up." She had a smile that could light up a room and a presence that grabbed people's attention. But, to add to Mademoiselle's assessment, Shelley also had an unselfconscious sexiness to her, as seen in those Charlie perfume she made.
