Shelley in a glamorous publicity pic, 1986
Shelley was among Hollywood's most glamorous stars in the 1980s. In 1986, she starred in the TV series Jack and Mike where she played Jackie Shea, a famous Chicago journalist who was trying to balance her work and home life - a dilemma experienced by many women in the 1980s as it became more and more common for women to join the workforce (not to mention get higher and higher positions). Shelley loved doing Jack and Mike. "I saw in the script a modern woman who really loves her job and really loves her husband and is trying to balance the two," Shelley told ET in 1986. She added, "It's not easy balancing a job you love and a husband you love very much."
