Sterling Shelley

Shelley appeared in a series of print ads for Napier jewelry in 1976. We've seen Napier is Glossier, Gleamier, Tonier and Moodier. She is in another variant of the ad, Napier is Sterling. Shelley's a knockout in this one.

Charlie Look-Alike Contest

Million Dollar Faces

Prior to the 1970s, exclusive contracts for models were almost unheard of - Jean Shrimpton signed one with Yardley of London and  Evelyn Kuhn, with Revlon. But in the '70s, a handful of models  negotiated these  exclusive contracts  (given out by  top cosmetic manufacturers) into  lucrative deals. So much so that by the 1980s, these same models were commanding gigantic fees and were the highest paid models in the entire industry. These Supermodels were literally  Million Dollar Faces.

"Is This The Next Million Dollar Face?" was the title of an article that appeared on the pages of Life Magazine in 1981 and Carol Alt was the model in question. But more importantly, the magazine enumerated the highest-paid Supermodels under exclusive contract at the time.  These pioneering women  were the first batch of Supermodels to  have ever been under exclusive (and very lucrative) contract. Lauren Hutton, Iman, Karen Graham, Cheryl Tiegs, Christina Ferrare, Shelley Hack and Margaux Hemingway were  THE Million Dollar Faces in the industry, the Best-Selling faces of the time. They pioneered the lucrative and exclusive contract for models that is sought after by every model up to this day.

You'll Be Glad

Shelley appeared in another ad for Sealy Posturepedic mattresses in 1972. 

The ad says "You'll be glad you didn't buy an ordinary firm mattress," 

and, by the look on her face, Shelley seems to agree.

She wore pretty summer dresses  numbers 1-5 as well as number 7.

Model Article

Shelley was interviewed for the July 1974 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine which ran a series of articles about the top models of the day. So many interesting tidbits are mentioned in the article such as - Shelley has been 5'8" tall and 112 pounds since she was 13, she thinks her face is irregular, she's a Ford Model who has done commercials and ads for Clinique, Natural Wonder and Cover Girl, and so much more...

Shelley attended the premiere of the film A Fine Mess which starred Ted Danson and Howie Mandel on March of 1986 at The Comedy Store in California. I love her look, an oversized boatneck sweater top paired off with a mini skirt. Very cute.

Correction

left, the original cover

center, an imagined cover where Shelley is mentioned on the cover's text

right, a variation of Shelley's pic which appeared inside the mag

An article about how the Angels were doing two years after the show was cancelled was published on Us Weekly in December, 1982. On the cover were Cheryl Ladd, Tanya Roberts, Farrah Fawcett and Kate Jackson. Jaclyn Smith was mentioned on the cover's text but there's no sign of Shelley's pic or name. I made a version where Shelley is (as she should be) mentioned on the cover. She was very active on stage at the time and was very successful at it too.
