Shelley in a still from Jack and Mike, 1986
By 1986, Shelley, one of the alums of Charlie's Angels, was having a hard time shaking off the image she acquired during that show's airing. Many doubted the former Angels' acting abilities and they were all branded as flash-in-the-pans. But each of them slowly gained respect from their critics and detractors; so much so that each of them were given chances to shine acting-wise throughout the 1980s, beyond their tenure as Charlie's cherubs. And all of them were successful in their own way. That year, Shelley starred in her 3rd TV series Jack and Mike. She played Jackie Shea, a prominent Chicago journalist married to Mike Brennan, a successful restaurateur. The series had respectable ratings and was expected to last longer than it did.
