1996 Cameo

screen captures of Shelley
as Dr. Erica Gilliland, Ph.D.
from the 1996 comedy House Arrest
 
By the mid-1990s, Shelley was beginning to pay more attention to her other ventures and was seen less and less on the big and small screens. Her last appearance on the big screen (so far) was the 1996 theatrical comedy House Arrest. It starred Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Pollack and a very young Jennifer Love Hewitt. Kyle Howard played Grover Beindorf, the main character in the movie. It was directed by Shelley's husband Harry Winer. Shelley and Harry's daughter Rosie also appeared in the film and her name appears on the credits. But Shelley, who had a cameo playing Dr. Erica Gilliland, Ph.D., was left uncredited. She was in two scenes in the movie. She first appeared on the TV screen promoting her character's book Feel the Fear and Go For It. Then she appeared on the back cover of that very book in the scene where Grover was reading it in the library. It was fun to watch her in her short appearances.
