Seventies Supermodel

a closeup of Shelley from 1976 modeling pic

Shelley was a part-time model when she was a teenager and still in school. She was discovered by publisher and heir to the A&P supermarket fortune Huntington Hartford at a debutante ball in the 1960s. With the help of her mother, a former Conover model, she met Eileen Ford of Ford Models Inc. and became, initially, a part-time model and, later a full-time after graduating from Smith College. She was one of the agency's top earners and was catapulted to Supermodel status after she bagged an exclusive contract for Revlon Charlie and became famous the world over. By 1978, she retired from modeling to pursue an acting career - but retained her contract with Revlon, which she kept until 1982.
