for Cutter to Houston
Shelley starred in the 1983 TV series Cutter to Houston with Alec Baldwin and Jim Metzler. She played Dr. Beth Gilbert, an ambitious surgeon who wanted to practice in a big-city hospital in Houston after her stint in Cutter. Cutter was a fictional Texas small town located in the boondocks, as Shelley put it herself in one interview, that had a clinic/hospital for the first time, the Cutter Community Hospital. When their facility received cases it couldn't handle, a computer hookup (a groundbreaking idea back then) connected it to a big hospital in Houston - hence the title of the series. The patients were usually fetched and brought in via chopper.
