The Only American

Frederick Forsyth Presents: A Casualty of War, 1990

Shelley starred in Frederick Forsyth Presents: A Casualty of War - the first of a series of TV movies written by Frederick Forsyth (who also introduced each movie.) She played Monica Browne, love interest to the film's lead character Tom Rowse, played by David Threlfall. The film is about the efforts of the British Intelligence to uncover an arms smuggling operation in Europe. Being the only American among the predominantly British cast, she laughed and said, "Yes, I'm the token." She enjoyed working with her British co-stars and found their approach to their craft very interesting.
