Shelley in an early publicity pic for Charlie's Angels
In 1979, Shelley was cast as Tiffany Welles in Charlie's Angels and became Angel number five. And like the previous Angels before her, her casting became biggest news story overnight. Publicity pics of her were released; and one of the earliest was of her wearing a pink and cream Mandarin-collared shirt over a pair of khaki slacks and topped with a light cream-colored blazer. Blown-out hair, a utilitarian watch and a dainty pink pocket square finished her look. Shelley exuded class in this pic set. Also, she was barefoot in those photos. It seems Shelley, who was a Supermodel and had been modeling for a long time, preferred flats to heels. In fact, she had no qualms going barefoot (as seen in some Charlie's Angels cast pics, some episodes of her third TV series Jack and Mike, in the telemovie Bridesmaids, etc...) In this pic set though, she had what looks like a Band-Aid around her perfectly manicured left toe, a humorous touch that humanized the latest TV cherub.
