a poster for the 1978 film If Ever I See You Again
Shelley's first leading lady role came in the 1978 film If Ever I See You Again. She was handpicked by producer/director/leading man Joe Brooks to play the part of artist Jennifer Corly, his love interest in the film. The movie flopped at the box office but has since gained a cult following among romantic-film lovers. It's the perfect movie to watch for Valentine's Day.
