a closeup of Shelley from the cover
of Ingenue magazine, 1971
Shelley was a very busy model in the 1970s. She appeared on many covers and spreads throughout the decade. She was one of the busiest models represented by Ford Models Inc. Eileen Ford, the FMI matriarch, said of Shelley, "She is a very good model and an intelligent, well-educated lady." Ford added, "Modeling was just a vehicle she used to get educated. It was never a thing where she wanted to be the best model in the world. She simply became one of them despite herself."
