Spring and Summer 1974 catalog

Shelley appeared in many catalogs throughout her modeling career. One of them was JCPenney. She appeared in many spreads on the JCPenney Spring and Summer 1974 catalog. In the spread called "Shirting It," Shelley wore shirt dresses in colorful printed fabrics that were tailored to perfection in the latest easy-care materials. She wore "The Shirt-Look Comes On Dressy" jacket and dress set made from a printed polyester interlock knit fabric that had a jersey look. The jacket had a button-front, a pointed collar, side slits and long sleeves with button cuffs. The matching dress was sleeveless, had a V-neck, a back zipper and came in long or short lengths. Shelley wore the short version in both the yellow print and the navy print versions. She finished both versions with matching medium-heeled sandals. She accessorized the yellow version with the Charming Pendant Watch which had a floral design on its face and a gold-tone base metal case, back and chain. She also wore "The Shirt-Dress Comes On Casual" day dress made from a soft, drapable jersey knit fabric. The dress had a contrast top-stitched front-button closure, a rounded shirt collar and long sleeves with button cuffs. It also had a contrast-stitched front pleating, and came with a matching skinny belt. The dress came in a multicolor floral print on a white background fabric and had a matching violet belt. And Shelley looked fabulous and ready for spring in all dresses.

Shelley was a busy actress in the 1980s. After opting to leave Charlie's Angels in 1980, she went full-time into an acting career. She appeared on stage, TV and in the movies. She immediately tackled stage after Angels via the Jack Heifner play Vanities and gained critical praise for her work. Other stage plays soon came after (Elizabeth Diggs's play Close Ties, Garson Kanin’s Born Yesterday and John Krizanc's Tamara at the end of the decade) and she got critical praise for them as well. She starred in the feature films Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy and Joseph Ruben's The Stepfather and got glowing reviews. In the series Cutter to Houston and Jack and Mike, she got mixed reviews but was generally praised for efforts. Shelley was determined to honing her craft.

Shelley was photographed by many renowned photographers such as Patrick Demarchelier, Bill King, Arthur Elgort, William Connors, as well as her former boyfriend Steen Svensson. Early in her modeling career, in 1965, beauty shots of her were taken by photographer Francesco Scavullo - who later became known for his Cosmopolitan magazine cover shots and various celebrity portraits. Her Scavullo beauty shots appeared on the April 1965 issue of Ingenue magazine, as well as on the cover of the 1000 Hints For Teens magazine (Check out: 1000 Hints ) Another beauty shot of hers (probably taken by Scavullo as well) appeared on the 1965 cover of Ingenue Magazine's Guide To Teen Beauty (Check out: Teen Beauty 1965 ) And Shelley was no-doubt a breathtaking beauty in her own right.

Even More Charlie Art Collection

for Charlie perfume, 1980

Shelley was THE Charlie perfume Girl from 1976 to 1982. She was dubbed as THE quintessential Charlie Girl because she was the embodiment of the brand's ideal - gorgeous, sexy, young... as well as independent, confident and loving every minute of it. In 1981, she appeared in an ad promoting Charlie Country's California Vacation Sweepstakes. Participants could win a free vacation trip for two to Los Angeles. It was a 7-Day/6-night trip that included air fare (to-and-fro), hotel accommodations, various tours and sightseeing visits, as well as a Charlie cosmetics and fragrance wardrobe that was valued at $100.00. The ad also promoted The Charlie Art Collection, which was available for only $10.00 with any purchase from the Charlie collection. The Charlie Art Collection was a glamorous cosmetic kit containing 12 colors for the eyes, cheeks, lips and nails... plus a bottle of Charlie perfume spray. The kit also contained a LeRoy Neiman Cityscape Artwork (which he named Spring Blooms in Charlie Country) ready for framing. And whether in pictures or in Mr. Neiman's artwork, Charlie Girl Shelley was Charlie-Girl fabulous as always.

Topped The Ratings

Shelley became Charlie's newest Angel in 1979. After a long search for a replacement for departing cast member Kate Jackson, it was finally announced in late May of that year that Shelley had been chosen to join the cast as new Angel Tiffany Welles. Shelley was already a Supermodel by then, and was known all over the world as THE Charlie Girl. Fans worldwide were excited to see what this glamorous new Angel would bring to the show. "We hired her 40 percent from the screen test and 60 percent from the personality test," executive producer Aaron Spelling told TV Guide, "We decided she was a nice person with sparkle and intelligence." Soon-to-be-co-star Jaclyn Smith, who was consulted on the final selection, recommended Shelley. She said, "I selected her because she was spunky and a perfect fill-in for Kate." Her other future co-star Cheryl Ladd said, "Shelley seemed like a doll and we were going to have a lot of fun working together." And Shelley's debut episode "Love Boat Angels" topped the Nielsen ratings.
