Shelley in a screen shot
from Frederick Forsyth Presents: A Casualty of War, 1989
Shelley appeared in the TV movie series Frederick Forsyth Presents A Casualty of War in 1989. She played Monica Browne, the love interest of retired British secret service agent Tom Rowse (played by David Threlfall) who had a deadly secret. The telefilm was shot in England, Germany and Yugoslavia. Shelley said she read Forsyth's books as a young girl and found them to be "very macho, exciting Cold War stuff." Being the only American among the predominatly British cast, she laughed and said, "Yes, I'm the token." She enjoyed working with her British co-stars and found their appoach to their craft very interesting. She took the part after a four-month run as Luisa Baccara in Tamara, a play by John Krizanc.
