In December of 1993, Shelley guest starred in a TV movie that was a tribute to Raymond Burr, one of Hollywood's most respected actors. Raymond Burr, who famously played Perry Mason in the TV series which ran from 1957 to 1966 and in 26 TV movies, passed away in September of 1993. As a tribute to him, a Perry Mason TV movie entitled A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Wicked Wives was made. But to honor Burr's legacy, the part of Perry Mason wasn't recast. Instead, a new character was brought in, Anthony Caruso (played by Paul Sorvino) who was introduced as Mason's good friend. Cast regulars Barbara Hale and William Moses returned. And, as guest stars, Supermodels were cast as the "wicked wives." Shelley Hack, Beverly Johnson, Kim Alexis, Maud Adams and Kathy Ireland played the present and former wives of a slain fashion photographer played by Eric Braeden. Paula Marsh rounded out the cast.
