Shelley in a promo pic for Cutter to Houston, 1983
Shelley starred in her second TV series in 1983, Cutter to Houston. She played Dr. Beth Gilbert, an ambitious surgeon from San Francisco who had her eye in doing heart surgery in a big city hospital in Houston, Texas. But she ended up "doing hernias and hammertoes in Dogpatch" - in a small-town hospital in Cutter. Shelley's co-stars were Jim Metzler and Alec Baldwin. The series was put in a bad time-slot and, in spite of some good reviews, was canceled after just seven episodes., leaving two finished episodes unaired. Let's hope the series is finally released in DVD.
