Shelley in a 1977 publicity pic
Shelley was a well-known Supermodel by the mid-1970s. And like many other Supermodels before her, Hollywood came knocking at her door. So she enrolled at the Herbert Berghof Studios in New York to study acting under Jack Wolzer. She got a memorable cameo role in the 1977 Academy Award winning Woody Allen film Annie Hall where she played a vacuous WASP. In 1978, she all but retired from modeling, appearing exclusively for the Charlie brand, to concentrate on acting.
