Our Town

Shelley starred in her third TV series in 1986. Originally called Our Kind of Town, the series  was renamed Jack and Mike when it premiered. In fact, the original title was even mentioned in this write-up for the Fall Pre-View issue of TV Guide in 1986. Shelley and Tom Mason starred as Jackie Shea and Mike Brennan, a married couple who couldn't seem to find time to be together.

She appeared in the inside pages as well.


Sisters

Shelley's biggest fan when she became a Charlie's Angel was her youngest sister, Babe, who was just 13. Babe was "speechless" when she met Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd in 1979. Later, Shelley and Babe (then 17) appeared together in a spread for the August 1983 issue of Good Houskeeping which featured celebrities and their sisters. They both were breathtaking.

Hello, Shelley

Shelley appeared on the cover of the fan mag  Bananas in 1979 when she replaced Kate Jackson on Charlie's Angels. There is an article about her  inside. We find out that Shelley was tall at 5'7 1/2" as a teen (she rose to 5'8" by the time she was modeling full-time in the '70s.) We can also see how excited she was with her new opportunity, how she didn't want it to go to her head (her brothers would laugh their heads off) and how she wanted to enjoy the experience.
