Stars in a revival of "Jacque Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris"
She had a starring role in a 20th anniversary revival. She starred in the 1988 production of that show with Karen Akers at Town Hall in New York and at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The New York Times said Shelley "exudes a contrastingly lighthearted amiability."

-
One Session Better Than Ten with a Shrink
She began her successful career as an astrologer. She told Astro.com: "You would be shocked at who comes in for a reading. Shocked with a capital 'S.' Politicians, heads of universities, entertainers." From the charts, she's able to tell a person's psychological makeup, what's possible for the client and when, what's likely and when and to what to aspire."Good astrologers are good historians, social workers, crisis managers, midwives and family therapists," she says. "One woman told me she got more out of one hour with me than she had in ten sessions with a shrink."

A political astrologer
She got much attention doing astrological readings and predictions of political figures including Hillary Clinton. "I've always said astrology is celestial geometry — it's myth and math. We look at planetary correspondence and historical patterns. We can make predictions using pattern recognition, but there's always a wild card." https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/ct-astr/.../012-story.html
