Shelley was cast in the phenomenal hit TV series Charlie's Angels in 1979 and was instantly a Hollywood superstar. She won Hollywood's unofficial beauty contest and, suddenly, everything she said and did was of interest. In January of 1980, Shelley along with her fellow Angels Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd were included in a writeup for Good Housekeeping on "How Beautiful Women Stay In Shape." The current Charlie's Angels team was asked to share what it took for them to look great - their diets and fitness routines. And TV's three gorgeous cherubs were happy to share their daily meals and exercise regimens - and they added a few comments as well.

The writeup included ten of the most popular beauties of the time. Aside from Shelley, Jaclyn and Cheryl, the other beauties included were top models Deborah Raffin, Christina Ferrare and Beverly Johnson, singers Marie Osmond and Crystal Gayle, former Miss America and sportscaster Phyllis George, and American socialite and fashion designer Gloria Vanderbilt. They too were happy to share their daily meals and exercise regimens - and they had added their own comments as well. Now who wouldn't have wanted to know how all these beauties stayed in shape.
