Khaki Tan and Bright Coral

Shelley in a spread for Sears Spring Summer 1975 catalog

Shelley appeared in Sears Spring Summer 1975 catalog. She appeared in various parts of the catalog including the "Junior Bazaar" section. In the spread called "Coordinates featuring... Chino Cloth in Khaki Tan and Bright Coral", she modeled several coordinated pieces that could be mixed and matched depending on the wearer's mood.

In the spread, she was modeled various outfits. She modeled a jacket and trouser-style pants, both in khaki tan chino cloth. With it, she wore a bright coral cotton-knit T-shirt (which she modeled separately in one of the inset pics). A neutral beige-toned braided belt finished her look. She also modeled a floral-print short-sleeved and collared shirt over a pair of khaki tan shorts in chino cloth. And lastly, she modeled a sporty ensemble made up of a hooded and striped jacket top over the coral T-shirt with a pair of bright coral chino cloth pants with flared legs. And in all outfits, Shelley looked stunning.

Frankie

Shelley starred as Frankie, a truck stop waitress looking to move on from her former flame, Gabe (played by Paul Michael Glaser), in the 1984 TV movie Single Bars, Single Women. The film explored the bar scene as seen in the eyes of women. It was a time when gender roles were evolving; and the line dividing the roles of both men and women in relationships were beginning to blur. Tony Danza, Christine Lahti and Mare Winningham round out the cast. It was directed by Shelley's future hubby Harry Winer.

Join the Fiesta

Shelley appeared in several ads for Ms. Lee in 1975. In one of them (which had the tagline "Join the Fiesta"), she modeled a squash-colored denim jacket and pants ensemble which she modeled with a matching long-sleeved striped shirt in cucumber green, strawberry, squash and blueberry - a real fiesta of colors. A matching bucket hat, high-heeled sandals and leather choker finished her look. And Shelley looked ready to hit the town in her up-to-the-minute (for 1975) look.

Cutter to Houston Episode 2

"In the Eye of the Hurricane", 1983

Shelley's second foray into series TV was Cutter to Houston, a medical drama that was set in the small fictional town of Cutter, Texas. She played Dr. Beth Gilbert, an ambitious surgeon who saw Cutter as a stepping stone to a big career in a major hospital in Houston, Texas. Her co-stars were Jim Metzler who played Dr. Andy Fenton, a GP, and Alec Baldwin who played Dr. Hal Wexler, an internist. When their facility encountered problems they couldn't handle, they got in touch with a big city hospital in Houston - via a computer link up or helicopter (hence the series title).

In the second episode of the series entitled "In the Eye of the Hurricane", Andy's black-sheep brother comes into town, causing friction between the siblings. At the same time, a patient, in need of a particular blood type, has to wait for the blood to be flown in. But then a fast-approaching hurricane is in danger of jeopardizing the much-needed shipment of blood. Jay Baker, Philece Sampler and Rhonda Aldrich guest starred.

Vogue Hair

Shelley appeared in the March 1975 issue of Vogue magazine modeling the latest hair trend - hair "sculpting" with hands. Italian hairdresser Dina Azzolini showed readers how to work with hair as if it were clay, "sculpting" it to perfection. For that season, Dina thought in terms of pretty, soft, lightly curled hair - with a perfect Cut as foundation, of course. Her innovative tools and unique scissors were also featured. And with Dina's "sculpting", Shelley never looked so good.

Leather Shirtcoat

Shelley appeared in various ads for Jacobson's in 1975. In one of them, she modeled a chic leather Ledaspain by Gropper shirtcoat. Ledaspain was a brand that specialized in fine leather and suede clothing. Alex Gropper, president of Leadaspain, always came out with chic new looks and lines for the chic modern woman. And Shelley was the epitome of  1975 chicness.
