The Debutante Angel

In 1979, Shelley was cast as Charlie's Angel no. 5, Tiffany Welles. Charlie's latest recruit was a police academy graduate in Connecticut (later changed to Boston) and was the daughter of one of Mr. Townsend's oldest friends, a police chief. Everyone was excited about Shelley's casting, even Shelley herself. "Jackie, Cheryl and I hit it off immediately," Shelley said, "Put your ear to the wall, all you'll hear is laughter." Her new co-Angel Cheryl Ladd said, "Shelley seemed like a doll and we were going to have a lot of fun working together." And co-Angel Jaclyn Smith said about her new teammate, 'She was sort of like the debutante."
