Shelley appeared on the pages of Sears Spring Though Summer 1974 catalog. In one spread called "Junior Separates Featuring... Hot Brights Cooled Off With Whites", she modeled several fashion pieces that could be worn together or separately- with white as the predominant color, of course. She modeled a floral-print tailored shirt over a pair of white trouser-style pants. A matching V-neck sweater-vest went over her shirt; and a fitted white blazer-jacket finished her look. Platform sandals in the same color as her vest put her look together. Shelley was both hot and bright in her white-hot separates.

At A Screening in '89

Shelley was out and about a lot in the '80s and the '90s. In 1989, she attended the screening of I Love You Perfect in Hollywood, California. She was her usual laid-back and stylish self.

Gorgeous Cover

In 1970, Shelley appeared on the cover of Seventeen: 100 Ways to Use Fragrance, a Seventeen magazine guide for young women. The same gorgeous pic of her appeared on the cover of Seventeen magazine in November of that year. The guide went through all the ins and outs of wearing and choosing fragrances for day to evening. And who better to represent fragrance than Shelley herself who, six years later, would become a household name via her Charlie perfume ads.

Shelley and Pacino

Shelley may have been out of Charlie's Angels in 1980, but tabloids and magazines were still writing about her and her love life. In 1982, she was filming Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy in New York. It was widely reported that her co-star in the film Robert De Niro introduced his friend Al Pacino to Shelley - and the two hit it off and started dating. The twosome were seen together around New York.

THE Charlie Girl

Shelley first became famous when she started endorsing Revlon's Charlie perfume in 1976. She appeared in a Charlie commercial that instantly became a phenomenal hit. Her sexy, independent and fabulous interpretation of THE Charlie Girl captured the imagination of the whole world and has since become an icon in itself. Why? Because many women as well as young girls (and men too) around the world wanted to become a Charlie Girl. She inspired many to go on and be sexy and independent and be fabulous while doing it. Unforgettable.

Cutter Surgeon

Shelley in a promo pic for Cutter to Houston, 1983

Shelley starred in the 1983 TV series Cutter to Houston. She played Dr. Beth Gilbert, an ambitious surgeon who wanted to practice in a big-city hospital in Houston after her stint in Cutter. Cutter was a fictional Texas small town that, for the first time, had a hospital. When the Cutter Community Hospital received cases it couldn't handle, a computer hookup (groundbreaking idea back then) and a helicopter connected it to a hospital in Houston - hence the title of the series.

Play It Plushy

Shelley in a spread for Seventeen magazine, 1970

You'll Stop Traffic", she modeled four velvety-soft greatcoats that was guaranteed to make anyone look like an heiress but are practical as well. Made of velvet, crushed velvet and crushy velour, all the coats were elegant and opulent and fended off showers as well as shivers. And who better to model them than the classy Tiffany Welles herself.

Newest Angel

Shelley in 1979

Angel Material

of the Charlie's Angels episode "Angels on the Street", 1979

When Shelley joined the cast of Charlie's Angels, tongues immediately began wagging. News like she didn't get along with her new co-stars and that she wasn't a good enough actress began to circulate. Shelley's insistence to keep her privacy didn't help the situation. Many things were written about her; but the truth is she did get along with her co-stars, and she was a good enough actress (as could be seen in the latter part of the season - when she was given more to say and do). Shelley was and is Angel material.
