a writeup about Shelley from Movie Life Yearbook magazine, 1979
Shelley became a bona fide Superstar in 1979 when she joined the cast of the phenomenal hit TV series Charlie's Angels. She was very grateful, very excited and very much aware of the lucky break she got when she signed on to be part of one of TV's biggest hits. Although a very private person, Shelley was aware of the situation she was in and knew that, thrust into the limelight, her life would be put under a microscope. She was ready for that; but she didn't want it to affect her family. After all, "I'm the one who signed on for this job, not them. I'm the one who chose to pursue the limelight, not them," she said. She was determined to keep her mother and siblings from the negative effects of stardom.
