Shelley was an up-and-coming actress in the late-1970s. She was already known all over the world as THE Charlie Girl (Revlon's Supermodel It Girl) and she was being beckoned by Hollywood. Her first big-screen appearance was in the Academy Award winning Woody Allen film Annie Hall. James Bond movie producer Cubby Broccoli wanted her to test for a role in his latest Bond film. She was hand-picked by director/producer Joseph Brooks to play his leading lady in the film If Ever I See You Again. She made a guest appearance in the TV series Married: The First Year and had a voice over role in the film Time After Time. She later got the lead character role in the TV movie Death Car on the Freeway. Then she got her big break... The role of Angel Tiffany Welles in Charlie's Angels made her a household name.
