Makes You A Star
Shelley knew very well that "Charlie Makes You A Star" because Charlie by Revlon made her a star, a superstar model, a Supermodel. And all over the world, her fabulous image, her effervescent smile and her long-legged stride was recognized and emulated. From the US to Europe, from Africa to Asia, Shelley was known as THE Charlie Girl and was celebrated for her independence and utter fabulousness. Shelley's "You're The Star" Charlie ads appeared in Sweden in 1980. The ad promoted the latest Charlie cosmetics and Charlie perfume discounts. The text reads as follows:
1983 TV Movie
In 1983, Shelley appeared in her second TV movie Trackdown: Finding the Goodbar Killer. She played opposite George Segal, the police officer in charge of the investigation of the murder of her friend. Her character was Logan Gay, a school teacher who eventually become Segal's love interest. The movie was based on fact.

Another Try
By 1986, Shelley, one of the alums of Charlie's Angels, was having a hard time shaking off the image she acquired during that show's airing. Many doubted the former Angels' acting abilities and they were all branded as flash-in-the-pans. But each of them slowly gained respect from their critics and detractors; so much so that each of them were given chances to shine acting-wise throughout the 1980s, beyond their tenure as Charlie's cherubs. And all of them were successful in their own way. That year, Shelley starred in her 3rd TV series Jack and Mike. She played Jackie Shea, a prominent Chicago journalist married to Mike Brennan, a successful restaurateur. The series had respectable ratings and was expected to last longer than it did.
