In 1979, Shelley was proclaimed as Charlie's newest Angel and she became a Hollywood superstar virtually overnight. Her face appeared on every magazine in the world and her casting was even mentioned in the evening news. "I couldn't believe it. What was I doing in the evening news?" Shelley exclaimed. In St. Thomas, at the Caribbean, where the Charlie's Angels season opener "Love Boat Angels" was to be shot, she described, surprised, "When I got off the plane, there were maybe eight million paparazzi. I looked around for Sophia Loren. It was for me. I couldn't believe it."
