In 1979, when Shelley became a Charlie's Angel, she was dating award-winning writer/director Nicholas (The Seven-Per-Cent Solution) Meyer. The two had been dating for a short while (and Shelley was already the famous Revlon Charlie Girl/Supermodel); and, in fact, Meyer wanted to cast Shelley as the leading lady in his upcoming film Time After Time. But Shelley declined the role, explaining, "After all, our relationship just started - what if we broke up in two months? He would have to be stuck directing me." Shelley settled for a much smaller "voice over" (docent) role in the film instead (the leading lady role eventually went to Mary Steenburgen). Shelley and Nicholas were spotted at a little Hollywood bar called Ports, a sort of writer's hangout, when Shelley's Angel casting was finalized. And shortly after that, they broke up.
Turquoise Shelley
Shelley is wearing a turquoise outfit with matching island accessories and hat in this pic from the spread, "Turquoise...for Summer Show-offs" that appeared in Cosmopolitan magazine, July 1978. It was photographed by Steen Svensson (who had a romance with Shelley) at Bermuda's Southampton Princess Hotel.

The Model Medium
Shelley is The Model Medium in this spread entitled New Shapes of Fashion which appeared on Seventeen magazine on October, 1965. "A pretty dress defines your figure" and Shelley's figure is defined by clingy chiffon fabric. Although the spread was about underwear, none of the models appeared in any.
Hairdo Of The Month 2
Shelley on the pages of Seventeen magazine in December, 1964. She models the Hairdo of the Month. "Holiday Parties call for a Christmas angel Hairdo" the magazine says and they were right in choosing this Angel for this hairdo (a premonition, if I may add.) The cut, the set and the comb-out are all explained in detail.

Hairdo Of The Month
Shelley on the pages of Seventeen in July of 1965. She models "a new (breeze proof!) way to wear long hair" on the Hairdo of the Month section of the magazine. The cut, the set and the comb-out are all explained in detail. A fresh-faced Shelley shows us the finished look.

Shelley recently made a rare public appearance at the Hallmark Channel Winter Party. Is she is ready to face the cameras again? Wouldn't it be wonderful to see her at upcoming awards shows walking the red carpet? What would she look like?
Above left is an imagined look for her on the red carpet. Her outfit is by Haider Ackermann (Well, Tilda Swinton wore it during the Globes, but it would also look good on Shelley.) On her waist, the brooch she wore at last year's Hallmark Channel event. Smooth hair and clean makeup complete the look. Shelley is gorgeous.

Birds Of A Heather
How can you make a bird-watcher watch you? Be the singingest, swingingest chick, that's how. Shelley and her fellow models are chic chicks in this ad for Pandora Fashions from 1966, because "Birds Of A Heather Swing Together!"
