Shelley joined the cast of the phenomenal hit TV series Charlie's Angels in 1979 and instantly became Hollywood's newest superstar. Her casting was even mentioned in the evening news - it was that huge a deal. "I couldn't believe it. What was I doing in the evening news," Shelley exclaimed at the time. Images of her appeared on many, many magazines and newspapers around the world, as the series was a hit in practically every part of the world. In August of 1980, she appeared on the pages of Roadshow magazine - a Japanese fan magazine that featured many Hollywood celebrities. She appeared on the spread called "Summer Port '80," which featured some of Hollywood's current sexy actresses - such as Love Story's Ali McGraw, Supermodel Barbara Karrera (Barbara Carrera), Superman's Margot Kidder, The Exorcist's Linda Blair and Bond Girl Caroline Munro - along with Shelley. They were all sexy in their swimsuits, ready to beat the summer heat.
