Shelley joined the cast of Charlie's Angels in 1979. After a long search, she was chosen by producer Aaron Spelling to fill in the spot vacated by Kate Jackson. Shelley had all the credentials to become Charlie's next Superstar Angel - she was smart, beautiful, charming and was already loved by the public because of her commercials and print ads for the Revlon Charlie brand. She was a certified Supermodel, was recognized the world over and was poised to become Hollywood's next big thing.
