Tiffany and Starsky

Shelley (who played Tiffany Welles on Charlie's Angels) and Paul Michael Glaser (who played Detective Dave Starsky on Starsky & Hutch) starred alongside each other in the 1984 telefilm Single Bars, Single Women. Shelley starred as Frankie, a truck-stop waitress looking to move on from her former flame Gabe (Paul Michael Glaser). The film explored the bar scene as seen in the eyes of women. It was a time when gender roles were evolving and the rules of dating were changing... fast. No longer in need of escorts and chaperones, women could now go bar-hopping alone to meet the men they wanted to meet. Women were becoming more confident in going out on their own and looking for love and companionship. Tony Danza, Keith Gordon, Christine Lahti, Mare Winningham and Kathleen Wilhoite completed the cast. It was directed by Shelley's future hubby Harry Winer.
