In 1983, Shelley co-starred in the TV movie Trackdown: Finding the Goodbar Killer with George Segal, who played Detective John Grafton, a New York City detective looking for the murderer of a schoolteacher who happened to be a good friend of Logan Gay, the character played by Shelley. The movie was based on fact. It's about the investigation on the brutal murder of a young school teacher during the Christmas season in New York in the 1970s. In the telefilm, after a bumpy first meeting, Logan eventually becomes Graftons' love interest. Shelley and George Segal would eventually work together again in 1992, in the feature film Me Myself and I.
