That Fab And Familiar Smile

notice the Charlie logo on her left sleeve

Shelley wore that fab and familiar smile (an icon in itself) in this 1978 Charlie perfume publicity pic. For the pictorial, she wore jeans and a T-shirt with the Charlie logo on the left sleeve. Around her neck was a matching scarf. Stud earrings and a an interesting belt finished the look.


Shelley's Charlie perfume ads (the commercials and print ads) were so popular that after 37 years, everyone who lived through the time still remember her - her smile, her legs, her stride and the commercial jingle. It was so iconic that until this very year, people still write about it. Check out Wendyl Nissen's Sept 20, 2013 article on The New Zealand Herald at:

Slim 'N' Trim Secrets

Shelley divulged her "slim 'n' trim secrets" in this 1979 article about her diet and exercise routine. She revealed that she got enough exercise daily by jogging and walking and if she's free, she'd go for a swim. She didn't starve her body of all good foods but, instead, stuck to a sensible diet of fruits, vegetables, fish and chicken. Occasionally, she would have a steak. Great tips.

Assistant Polk County Attorney

Shelley went brunette to play Assistant Polk County Attorney Nan Horvat in the 1992 TV movie Taking Back My Life: The Nancy Ziegenmeyer Story which was directed by her husband Harry Winer. The movie was based on the true story of Nancy Ziegenmeyer, a 29-year-old rape victom from Grinnell, Iowa, who decided to come out publicly about her ordeal, thus giving the rape victims a face and consequently taking back her life. Her story inspired many. Nan Horvat was Nancy's lawyer.

Shelley got special mention in this clip from Too Late with Adam Carolla which aired on Comedy Central. The show - hosted by, who else, comedian Adam Carolla - featured Angel-ologist Mike Pingel who showed viewers his Charlie's Angels collection. When they started talking about Shelley, Charlie perfume was mentioned and Adam immediately sang the famous jingle. It just proves how lasting and iconic Shelley's Charlie Girl image is. Everyone remembers the song, the fragrance and the woman.

Shelley appeared on the spring summer catalog of Speigel in 1972. In a spread called "All Dressed-up for a  Lovely Louge-in," she modeled colorful printed jumper-style culottes with a matching scoop-neck top; and a sleep set consisting of a ruffled double-breasted princess-cut coat over an empire-cut teddy with a matching printed bodice and a ruffled hem. And in all of them, Shelley was just lovely.
