1983 was a landmark year for Shelley. It was the year she received critical praise for her work on the Martin Scorsese feature film The King of Comedy (with Robert De Niro) and the filmed-for-TV play Close Ties. It was the year she starred in Found Money alongside comedy greats Dick Van Dyke and Sid Caesar. It was the year she starred in her second TV series, the critically-praised Cutter to Houston with Alec Baldwin and Jim Metzler. And it was the year she did Trackdown: Finding the Goodbar Killer with industry veteran George Segal. Shelley star was rising pretty quickly by then.
