Shelley became Charlie's Angel no.5 in 1979 and fans were thrilled to see THE Charlie Girl join Charles Townsend's team of heavenly detectives. Shelley was already well-known as Revlon's quintessential Charlie Girl and was recognized wherever she went. Going shopping, according to Shelley, "was a disaster." In 1978, Shelley said, "The Charlie (Girl) image is interesting because people recognize me and some actually chase me down the street." But becoming a Charlie's Angel was different. Shelley suddenly found herself in unfamiliar territory - rock star territory. After being cast as Angel Tiffany Welles in 1979 she said, "The thing is I haven't even done anything yet. I've been recognized before and I've signed autographs before but I get a part and suddenly find myself in the fishbowl."
