Shelley in an ad for the Cutter to Houston episode
"From the Smallest Crystal, From the Smallest Stone," 1983
Shelley starred in the 1983 TV series Cutter to Houston with Jim Metzler and Alec Baldwin. But why was it called Cutter to Houston? The title refers to the computer link between the clinic in small town Cutter, Texas, and the Texas Medical Center in Houston. Shelley played surgeon Dr. Beth Gilbert, an ambitious surgeon who wanted out of Cutter and had her eye on a big-city hospital in Houston. Jim played Dr. Andy Fenton, a general practitioner who grew up in Cutter and was happy to be home. Alec played Dr. Hal Wexler, an internist on probation for writing unnecessary prescriptions, who hadn't quite figured out whether he liked it there or not.
