Personality Test

Shelley was a certified Supermodel by the mid-1970s. She was known as THE Charlie Girl, Revlon's superstar model and "it" girl - loved and admired all over the world. In 1979, after speaking to her agent who said, "It's a terrific show - you really should think about testing," she auditioned for the role of Tiffany Welles in Charlie's Angels. As part of her audition, she was subject to a personality test. Shelley recalled, "The first question was, 'What is your name?'" She said, "You know my name." They said, "Just answer the question, Shelley." And she got excited and said, "Is this a really personality test? I've always wanted to do a personality test." Then she said, "Oh, dammit, I didn't rehearse my personality this morning." The test seemed to have worked in her favor. Shelley eventually won the part and become Charlie's 5th Angel.
