Shelley was one of the hottest new actresses on the scene in 1978. By that time, she was already a highly-paid Supermodel and was recognized by everyone as The Charlie Girl... she was transitioning from modeling to acting. The year before, she had done a cameo in the Academy Award winning film Annie Hall where she appeared in a scene with no other than director/star Woody Allen himself. By then, she was also being considered by long-time James Bond films producer Cubby Broccoli to play Bond girl in the coming James Bond installment Moonraker. By mid-1978, she was a first time leading-lady in the film If Ever I See You Again. In March of 1979, she guest starred in the short-lived TV series Married: The First Year. By the end of May in 1979, she was cast as the newest Angel Tiffany Welles on Charlie's Angels; and the rest is history.
