Shelley in a promo pic from 1979
Shelley became a Supermodel in the mid 1970s and was one of the highest-paid models in the beauty biz. She appeared in countless magazines and newspapers and did interviews left and right. She was known throughout the world as THE Charlie Girl and was making a fortune for herself and for Charlie perfume. "My father encouraged me to invest my money," she recalled. So Shelley put her earnings into a 244-acre farm in Catskill, New York. "It's dairy county, not chic," she told People magazine in 1979. When she had time, she would garden there and make preserves, jams, jellies and chutneys - as well bake. When she became a Charlie's Angel in 1979, she shared her recipe for Green Apple Pie and Apple Brown Betty with everyone.
