Crochet Your Way to the Sun

a closeup of Shelley from a spread

for McCall's Needlework & Crafts, 1975

Shelley appeared on the cover as well as the pages of McCall's Needlework & Crafts, spring-summer 1975 issue. In the spread called "Crochet Your Way to the Sun", she modeled a bikini top over a pair of super short shorts. The soft plaid design was made up of horizontal bands of double crochet/single crochet pattern with verticals chain-stitched in later. The top tied at the back and the shorts had an elasticized waist. A matching scarf around her hair was all that was needed to finish her look. And she looked like she was ready for those warm sunny days.

New Angel ' 79

a paparazzi pic of Shelley from 1979

Shelley became a Charlies Angel in 1979 and was immediately hounded by the press. Becoming an Angel was always big news during the 1970s when the phenomenal TV series ruled television. When asked if she was nervous about joining the show, she was annoyed by the question. She explained, "That wasn't arrogance. It just struck me as a silly question. When I was setting off for Australia, someone said, 'But you don't know anyone there.' And I thought to myself, 'What a dumb reason not to go.'" Shelley was used to challenges and was ready to face them head on.

On the Phone

Shelley posed for many publicity pics in the mid-70s, sometimes she was photographed with a phone in hand. Shelley had become a Supermodel by the mid-1970s and was recognized when she went out in public. She learned how to deal with that, and took it as part of the job. But she was admittedly surprised by the amount of attention she got when she became a Charlie's Angel in 1979. "I was totally unprepared for the press 'bonanza' which followed," she said on Jane Pauley's show Time and Again in 2000.

An Astute Woman

a 1986 Spanish-language writeup called "An Astute Woman"

about Shelley and her new TV series Jack and Mike

There has always been interest in the post-Charlie's Angels projects of the actresses who were part of the phenomenal TV series, especially in the 1980s. Shelley went on to tackle stage and the big screen. But in 1983, she became a regular in the short-lived TV series Cutter to Houston. And in 1986, she signed on to play Jackie Shea on the TV series Jack and Mike. She told Entertainment Tonight in 1986, "I read this; and I liked it so much for all the reasons that I've told you that I went-- I signed on the dotted line for five years which is a big chunk of your life. And you don't sign on the dotted line for five years unless its something you really want to do or you're very foolish." Shelley always said she loved working on the series Jack and Mike and it was because she thought it had a great premise that was so relevant at the time.
