a promo pic of Shelley during her Angels days
from TV Guide Canadian edition, March 1980
Shelley joined the cast of Charlie's Angels during its fourth season from 1979 to 1980. And although she was aware of the show's immense popularity, she was also aware of the kind of show it was. "Of course it's fluff," she admitted, "but high-grade fluff. You don't compare Agatha Christie to Tolstoy." She knew Charlie's Angels was the best there was in its category. It was the biggest TV show in the world and its lead actresses were superstars and tabloid cover girls. "I'm a very private person and I hope to keep it that way," she told the press.

One of Charlie's original series Angels (one of the original three) was interviewed last October. The fabulous Jaclyn Smith (I LOOOOOOOOOVE Jaclyn Smith) was interviewed by Alan Locher at The Locher Room channel on YouTube. Alan is a big fan of Jaclyn and was excited and over-the-moon as he interviewed his favorite Angel asking her about her childhood, her family, her business and, of course, Charlie's Angels. Jaclyn, as always, is very obliging when she is asked about her experiences with regards to the legendary TV series. The series was groundbreaking and its worldwide popularity can be compared to the popularity of the Avengers movies of recent years. Jaclyn didn't mind answering questions about her co-Angels and this is how that part of the interview went:
Alan Locher:
If you could, could you describe the Angels in, you know, one word - Farrah, Cheryl, Tanya, Shelley...?
If you could, could you describe the Angels in, you know, one word - Farrah, Cheryl, Tanya, Shelley...?
Jaclyn Smith:
You know, Kate - cerebral, complex, extremely talented, intense
Cheryl - warm and approachable, fun and funny
Shelley was, you know, East-coast preppy and dignified and soft-spoken and refined
And Farrah... Wow, she was a combination. She was to me very unexpected. She was the
girl next door but not like any girl you knew next door. She was an 8x10 glossy but
yet there was this very real all-American sweet quality about her. She was truly a
good girl friend. she was just a great girl. Yeah, to me she was.
And... Did I leave-- Tanya was highly-- Gosh, Tanya was very sensual, you know.
Unique in that way. She had a sensuality that she just radiated onscreen.
