Shelley in a paparazzi pic from 1979
When Shelley joined the cast of Charlie's Angels in 1979, the tabloids went to overdrive. The interest in Charlie's newest Angel was so intense, that so many articles and news features about her appeared on both print and TV. “I couldn’t believe it. What was I doing in the evening news?” she exclaimed at the time. Of course, some stories were true and some were, well, not. But publicity was publicity, and the frenzy generated so much interest in her, it catapulted her to Hollywood Superstardom before she even filmed an episode of the series. "THE Charlie Girl becoming Charlie's Newest Angel" was the buzz in Hollywood, and Shelley was its latest "it" girl.
