Shelley first became famous in the 1970s as one of the Supermodels of the era, as THE Charlie Girl. She was an Eileen Ford model, was highly sought after and one of the highest-paid in the modeling industry. At the tail end of her modeling career, Hollywood beckoned and she obliged (her parents taught her to, at least, take a take a peek into doors that have opened for her). In 1979, she became a Hollywood superstar via the TV series Charlie's Angels and she has never looked back since. By 1986, she was an established Hollywood star and was filming her third TV series Jack and Mike. As with all stars, fans were fascinated with Shelley's interests, likes and dislikes. In 1986, a short writeup about her said that she was born in White Plains, N.Y. and she had homes in both L.A. and New York. She was still single, enjoyed reading books, was mindful of her diet, and was close to her siblings. It said she was a Chicago Bears fan, had quit smoking, drank herbal tea, and talked to her dog. It also said she would rather wear sneakers when her feet wouldn't be shown on screen (she's tall and always preferred wearing flat shoes). It also said she occasionally made unconventional choices (like her decision to study archeology in Australia during her junior year in college) and had never tried riding roller coasters.
