Shelley was already a famous Supermodel when she joined the cast of Charlie's Angels in 1979. She was already known throughout the world as THE Charlie Perfume Girl. Charlie by Revlon was the no.1-selling fragrance in the world at the time, and it was due in a large part to the image Shelley projected in the both the print ads and commercials for the brand - gorgeous, confident, modern, liberated. She had this air of elegance and complete confidence, yet she seemed so approachable. So it seemed natural for her to join the cast of Charlie's Angels - she was already a famous Supermodel and she looked fantastic alongside Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd. Besides, the headline "Charlie Girl Becomes Charlie's Newest Angel" was just too good to resist.
