Private Superstar

Shelley's big break came in 1979 when she was cast as Tiffany Welles in Charlie's Angels. All of a sudden, she was all over the news and people were interested in everything about her. But she was determined to keep her privacy and refused to talk about her family, saying it was her not them that was in showbiz. As one Mexican magazine put it, "el famoso 'Angel' se niega a hablar de su pasado" or "the famous 'Angel' refuses to talk about her past".

Hair Model '65

for Good Housekeeping magazine in 1965

Shelley was discovered by the heir to the A&P supermarket fortune Huntington Hartford (publisher of Show magazine) at a debutante ball in 1964. Shelley's mother told her to go to the ladies room and powder her nose if ever a guy was bothering her; and that night, Shelley was always "powdering her nose". But, eventually, Hartford got to talking to Shelley's parents and was able to publish photos of her in the September issue of his magazine that year. And by November, Shelley had become a Ford model and appeared on the covers of both Glamour and Seventeen magazines simultaneously. And the rest is history.

THE Charlie Girl

Shelley didn't just appear in Charlie perfume ads,

Although other models came before her, it was her wholesome yet sexy, androgynous yet alluring, vivacious and fresh image that catapulted the brand to worldwide success. Charlie was the first American lifestyle brand that gained worldwide attention as well as brisk sales. And Shelley's image was a HUGE factor in the success of the brand.

What Mike Thinks

a writeup about Tom Mason of Jack and Mike from 1986

Shelley starred in her 3rd TV series Jack and Mike in 1986. She played Jackie, a journalist, who is married to Mike, a restaurateur. Mike was played by Tom Mason, who appeared as Shelley's boyfriend in the TV movie Kicks in 1985. The two had great chemistry in the telefilm which translated well in the series as well. In a writeup about Tom Mason in 1986, what he says of Shelley is that she "has really had a tough time. She deals with it beautifully." I guess he was talking about the Charlie's Angels stigma that Shelley was having a hard time shaking off. It was tough for all the Angels to shake off the image that made them famous and to be taken as a serious actress.

That Smile

Shelley became an in-demand Supermodel in the 1970s. Her face was everywhere - endorsing everything from shampoos to beds. Shelley's smile was a familiar sight on magazines and commercials during the era. Clients always seemed to want her to smile she once said. And why not? Shelley has one of those smile that melts hearts. It's effervescent, disarming, welcoming and very sexy, all at the same time. It was one of her biggest assets when she was a Supermodel.

Shelley Makes Good

a writeup about Shelley from 1987

Shelley slowly but surely made sure she always moved forward in her career as an actress. After her big break as one of Charlie's Angels, she immediately did plays, films and TV projects to further hone her acting chops. Eventually, she earned critical praise; but it was in 1987 that she scored a hit with the film feature The Stepfather. It came hand-in-hand with her third foray into series TV Jack and Mike, which was slowly gaining a bigger audience when it was suddenly canceled.
