for Charlie's Angels
In 1979, during its 4th season, Shelley joined the cast of Charlie's Angels and was a great addition. Season 3 of Charlie's Angels had dramatically slipped in the ratings- from #4 in the 2nd season to #12 in the 3rd season. The HUGE 8-point slip didn't cause too much alarm as the series was still among TVs top 20 shows. Besides, Shelley's addition brought renewed interest in the series. The fact that she was Revlon's Charlie Girl brought in a lot of needed and FREE publicity. Yes, everybody knew THE Charlie Girl and everybody loved THE Charlie Girl - even the show's designer Nolan Miller admitted to that. Her Supermodel status brought a lot of needed attention to the floundering series.
