In 1989, Shelley along with Sela Ward, Brooke Adams and Stephanie Faracy starred in the telefilm Bridesmaids. It was about a group of friends who were reunited after a number of years at another friend's wedding. Because their bride-friend was so busy with wedding preparations, the four were left to catch up and discover new things about each other. The film wasn't just about the many things that binds friends together such as humorous anecdotes, common experiences, and secrets; but it also explored the varied and changing roles women were coming to terms with at the time. The film is light and is a delight to watch. The main cast had great rapport and worked very well well together. The supporting cast was great as well. It was first aired on February 21, 1989; and the telefilm later became a staple on cable TV in the 1990s - as it was aired frequently at the time. It has been released in VHS format in the US and other parts of the world. It's a very pleasant watch and is highly recommended.
