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 "Classic Upsweep." Shorter hair for women was the height of chic during the early 1980s, so for women who wanted to keep their locks long, an updo was one option. Gibsons and chignons became popular as well as French twists. Shelley's "Classic Upsweep" was a variation on the French twist, a pulled-back updo hairstyle with a French seam up the back from the nape. The top was brushed back and angled toward the crown for height. Shelley, as always, was at the height of chic.
