Shelley joined the cast of Charlie's Angels in 1979 and was quickly thrust into the Hollywood limelight. Of course, tongues immediately began wagging about Charlie's newest Angel. She was talked about in gossip columns, tabloids and entertainment shows. Reports came out that she was unhappy on the set, that she wasn't getting along with her co-Angels, etc... But Shelley said it was all nonsense and that what she was unhappy about were the reports coming out. "Shelley seemed like a doll and we were going to have a lot of fun working together," Cheryl Ladd said at the time. "She was sort of like the debutante" Jaclyn Smith said about the highly-charged, energetic and intellectual East Coast girl. "Jackie, Cheryl and I hit it off immediately." Shelley said, "Put your ear to the wall, all you'll hear is laughter."
