Shelley was making a comeback as well. She was very much maligned by critics and the press when she was on Charlie's Angels; but in the years after she left the TV series, she proved that she was a capable actress with her work on Vanities, The King of Comedy and even her short-lived 2nd TV series Cutter to Houston.
