Head for the Hills 3

from a 1965 Seventeen mag spread

Shelley appeared in many spreads throughout Seventeen magazine's November 1965 issue. In the spread called "Head for the Hills", she modeled fashions that were perfect for the ski slopes in winter. Parkas, sweaters, fitted stretch pants, mittens and boots were the order of the day. And of course they all had to be chic, 1965 chic.

Shelley modeled the "Six Ski Lessons: $25 or Under" look. She wore a turtleneck pullover over a pair of stretch pants and topped those with a pea coat parka quilted in squares. They were all by Crescent Sportswear. A matching knitted cap, gloves and sunglasses finished her look. And Shelley looked like one sophisticated skier.

Jack and Mike Pilot 1

Shelley's third foray into series TV was Jack and Mike. It was about a married yuppie couple living in Chicago, trying to find time for each other in their busy schedules. Shelley played Jackie Shea, a star columnist at The Mirror, a widely-circulated Chicago paper. Her column was awaited by everyone every week. Her husband was Mike Brennan (played by Tom Mason), a successful restaurateur about to open his third restaurant.

The pilot was released in VHS format and distributed in Europe, in the Netherlands and Belgium; but only the pilot episode. The entire episode was kept as is; but subtitles in Dutch were burned into the media for the convenience of the target audience. The episode runs for 90 minutes and was originally aired in September 16, 1986.

Shelley was The Charlie Girl from 1976 to 1982; and she appeared on many promotional pics for the Revlon brand. In 1980, Charlie and it's male perfume counterpart Chaz (also by Revlon) teamed up to promote the 1980 Winter Olympics which was held in Lake Placid, New York from Feb 13 to 24 of that year. Pics of Shelley together with the then current Chaz Man Tom Selleck were taken. The Sporting Life Kit containing both Revlon Charlie and Chaz products (the perfumes, Charlie Body Silk, Charlie Body Silk After Bath Tonic and Chaz Moisturizing After Shave Balm) became available. Shelley was already a superstar by then due to Charlie's Angels; but Tom Selleck would later become famous himself via his own TV series Magnum, P.I.

Shelley became a Charlie's Angel in 1979; and, as with all the Angels before her, she received a lot of attention from the press. In Point Dume Beach, Malibu, where part of the episode "Angel Hunt" was filmed, Shelley and her co-Angels Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd were hounded by the paparazzi.

She modeled sleepwear from the Young Dimensions Sleepwear collection. She wore a long toga-like lacy white gown with an empire drawstring waist. The bodice was lined, the fit was easy and it had a slit on the side that went on and on. It came with matching bikini panties and was available in petite, small and medium. Shelley looked sexy in her sleepwear.
