Shelley's professional career reads like a Cinderella story. She started in the 1960s as a part-time teen model appearing frequently on Seventeen and Glamour magazines. In the 1970s, she rose to Supermodel status and landed an exclusive contract for the Charlie by Revlon brand, becoming known all over the world as THE Charlie Girl. In the late 1970s, she reached superstar status when she was cast as Tiffany Welles in the immensely popular TV series Charlie's Angels. She later earned critical praise for her work on stage via Jack Heifner's Vanities, Elizabeth Diggs's Close Ties and Garson Kanin’s Born Yesterday. She starred on the big screen in Martin Scorsese's King of Comedy and Joseph Ruben's The Stepfather. She appeared on the small screen in various TV movies and was cast as lead in two more TV series, Cutter to Houston and Jack and Mike.
