Shelley sporting the "Short-Hair Look"
for Good Housekeeping,
August 1983
By August 1983, Shelley had become an established Hollywood star. She had received critical praise for her work on stage and had a Martin Scorsese film under her belt (where she worked opposite Robert De Niro). She had also finished a couple of TV movies with respected Hollywood veterans George Segal and Dick Van Dyke. Her latest TV series was to premiere that October. So Shelley would regularly appear on magazines and newspapers at the time. In August 1983, she appeared on the pages of Good Housekeeping magazine, in a spread called "29 All-Star Hairstyles: Modeled by Celebrities and Their Sisters." Shelley appeared with her youngest sister, Babe, in the spread sporting the latest hairstyles. (For more, check out: Shelley and Babe) One hairstyle Shelley sported was the "Short-Hair Look." Short hair for women (ala Sheena Easton, Pat Benatar, and Olivia Newton-John) was the height of chic and was a very popular look during the early 1980s... as were the drop waist, longer skirts, Capri pants and flat/low-heeled footwear (think Rachel Ward's Against All Odds hair and wardrobe). Shelley, of course, was always at the height of chic herself.
