a promo pic of Shelley for Charlie's Angels, 1979
Shelley joined the cast of Charlie's Angels in 1979 to so much fanfare. Shelley was an instant Superstar before she even filmed an episode of the series. When her debut episode "Love Boat Angels" finally aired in September of that year, it topped the Nielsen ratings. Shelley's casting was a coup. Her Charlie Girl image brought even more publicity for the show and it renewed interest in the series. But then, fans either loved her or hated her - it looked like it was 50/50. But Charlie's Angels was predicted to be a top rated show in its 4th season.
