Shelley with Chaz Man Tom Selleck

and Chaz brands, 1980

Shelley was The Charlie Girl from 1976 to 1982; and she appeared on many promotional pics for the Revlon brand. In February of 1980, Charlie and it's male perfume counterpart Chaz (also by Revlon) teamed up to promote the 1980 Winter Olympics... which was held in Lake Placid, New York from Feb 13 to 24 of that year. Pics of Shelley together with the then current Chaz Man Tom Selleck were taken and used to promote The Sporting Life Kit, a promotional gift set containing both Revlon Charlie and Chaz products (Charlie perfume, Charlie Body Silk, Charlie After Bath Tonic, Chaz perfume and Chaz Moisturizing After Shave Balm). It was available to all Charlie and Chaz fans for just $10.00. By 1980, Shelley wasn't just a Supermodel; she was already a big TV star due to Charlie's Angels. Tom Selleck, on the other hand, would become famous later that very year when his own TV series Magnum, P.I. premiered.
