Shelley starred in the TV movie Single Bars, Single Women in 1984. Shelley played Frankie, a waitress at a truck stop café who is trying to get over her former flame Gabe (played by Starsky and Hutch alum Paul Michael Glaser) by going out to bars and meeting new men. The movie explored the challenges single women faced at the time, because (post women's lib) the dating rules were changing and gender roles were beginning to blur. When she got the part, Shelley went into single bars in disguise to see what was going on with the kind of women who went there. She also tried her hand at being a real truck stop waitress. Shelley turned out a fine performance. Shelley's future husband, Harry Winer, directed the film.
