Jack and Mike Promo Spots

screen captures from the Jack and Mike
episode "Change of Heart"

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.

Your Place in the Sun

for Bobbie Brooks, 1972

Shelley appeared in several ads for Bobbie Brooks in the 1970s. In 1974, she appeared their ad with the tagline "Your Place in the Sun," which featured colorful summer fashion separates topped with light summer blazers. Shelley wore a bright sunny shirt over a pair of nautical colored shorts topped with a colorful floral blazer - can't get more summery than that. All that was needed was Shelley's effervescent smile to light up this fab summer look.

Superstar Shelley

Shelley became Charlie's newest Angel in 1979, and she jumped from being THE Charlie Girl to becoming Charlie's latest Superstar Angel. As it was for all the Angels before her, she received a lot of attention from both the media and from fans. Her casting was even mentioned in the evening news - it was a huge deal. "I couldn't believe it. What was I doing in the evening news," she exclaimed at the time.

When she arrived in St. Thomas at the Caribbean, where her first Charlie's Angels episode was going to be shot, she was greeted by the paparazzi. "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," Shelley said astonished by the amount of Angel casting was getting. "I had press people crawling in my windows," she told E! in 2002.

Hot-Weather Dressing

Shelley was one of the highest paid models in the 1970s, a certified Supermodel. In June of 1974, she appeared on the pages of Vogue magazine in the spread called "Hot-Weather Dressing," where she modeled outfits the mag deemed as chic for that summer season. The spread featured skirts, tops, pants and dresses that worked and made summer dressing a breeze for anyone, everyday.

Shelley wore "The Coolest Pants-Dressing for the Hottest Days" look. It was a pink crinkle cotton blouse and pants ensemble. It was made up of a light loose mandarin-collared overblouse (so light it felt like you had nothing on) and matching cotton pants - perfect for hot summer days. It was a Delani design by Jeannene Booher. A matching headband, a pair of low summer sandals and a scarf cinched at the waist a finished her look. A gold bangle and sunglasses accessorized her look. And Shelley looked positively hot.

Supertele Cover Girl

Shelley joined the cast of Charlie's Angels in 1979 and was thrust into the world of Superstardom. The TV series was (and is) much beloved throughout the world and every addition of a new Angel was big news to fans all over the globe. Writeups about every Angel appeared in every language, and Shelley appeared on the cover and pages of Supertele's January 1981 issue. Supertele is a Spanish language magazine that features international superstars and icons.

Play Denims A Day

Shelley appeared on many issues of Seventeen magazine during her modeling days. In 1971, she appeared in their February issue, in the spread called "Play Denims A Day." It featured the latest denim looks for modern young misses that they could wear on a daily basis and look fab.

Shelley wore a round-neck T-shirt, with the print of no other than Levi Strauss himself, over a pair of railroady denim jeans (both by Levi's for Gals) with matching denim-look footwear. A choker by Willam Rand, wristlet by Ruza and a fancy belt by Elegant finished her look. And with her hair down and with minimal makeup, Shelley looked ready to play for the day.
