a promo pic of Shelley from the late '80s
Shelley was already a Supermodel when she got her big break as Tiffany Welles in Charlie's Angels in 1979. After her Angels stint, she was determined to learn her craft and give this acting opportunity a try. In the 1980s, she earned positive reviews for her work in Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy and Joseph Ruben's The Stepfather. She also starred in two more TC series, Cutter to Houston and Jack and Mike.
