Shelley appeared on many covers during her tenure as a Supermodel. The first cover was on was Glamour magazine in November of 1964. That same month, she also appeared in the cover of Seventeen magazine (with teen Supermodel Colleen Corby). Other covers followed, from major magazines to booklets. In 1971, she appeared on the cover of Ponchos Defined. It was a booklet released by the American Thread Company that featured crochet and knitting patterns Two-for-the-Road (crochet), Country Miss (crochet), Gaucho Poncho (crochet), Autumn Motif (crochet), Set-up ‘71 (knit skirt and poncho) and Caper Coat (knit). Shelley modeled the Autumn Motif and the Two-for-the-Road patterns; and she looked sensational.

Charlie's Newest Angel

Shelley appeared on the July 1979 issue of Us Weekly

In around June of 1979, it was announced that Shelley was definitely playing Angel no. 5 Tiffany Welles on the mega hit TV Charlie's Angels - after the mistaken announcement by the press that Bond Girl Barbara Bach was taking over Kate Jackson's slot on the show. Everyone wanted to get to know Charlie's newest Angel, so Shelley was hounded by the press even before she filmed any scene for the series. One of the first writeups about her came out on Us Weekly where she said she saw the opportunity as more than a chance to smile and look pretty.

Charlie's Supermodel

Shelley is probably the most famous of all the women who became Charlie perfume Girls. In fact, whenever Charlie perfume is mentioned, it is her image that immediately comes to mind. Shelley was one of the top models of the 1970s, one of the top girls in Eileen Ford's stable of models, one of the highest-paid models of the era. With her Charlie contract, she jumped to Supermodel status overnight. She and the brand gained international visibility and eventually catapulted both to iconic status. Shelley, the Charlie Girl, is undeniably one of the icons of the 1970s.

in Sears Wish Book for the 1972 Christmas Season

Shelley appeared in many spreads throughout Sears Wish Book for the 1972 Christmas Season. In the spread called "Separates with Style", she modeled coordinates that could be mixed and matched. She wore an abstract-print cotton knit shirt over a pair of black-and-white glen plaid pants of brushed cotton denim. Her top was a pullover-style shirt with pointed collars and a 4-button placket closing. It had long sleeves and could be buttoned at the cuffs. Her pants had two front slash pockets and cuffed flared legs. Over her shirt, she wore a modified crew-neck pullover sweater. Shelley looked fab and well put together.
