Shelley was a part-time model in the 1960s. Her priority was her education but she modeled on the side and was represented by Ford Models, Inc. Shelley's mother, Patricia, a former model herself, was acquainted to Eileen Ford. She took Shelley to meet Mrs. Ford who signed her on immediately. Shelley said, "She barely looked at me, but at the end of the meeting, she turned and said, "We’ll be expecting you at 9 o’clock tomorrow.'" At the time, Shelley only worked during her summer vacations.
