Shelley became Charlie's Angel no. 5 in 1979. She was already a Supermodel when she was cast; and the fact that she was the spokesmodel for Charlie by Revlon boosted her chances in landing the part. The headline "Charlie Girl becomes Charlie's newest Angel" was playing around in Aaron Spelling's mind when he was considering her. "Yesterday, I was a schnook, and today I can't get across the street" is how Shelley described her sudden rise to superstardom. "It has been quite a whirl," she said.
