Did you ever look at someone and wonder why they weren't a bigger star?
First, Smith was a strikingly beautiful woman. She was on a legal sitcom called "The Associates." They produced thirteen episodes in 1979 and 1980. Only nine aired. No one watched, but the show was nominated for Emmys and Golden Globes. It wasn't a bad show, and it probably could have been hit if ABC showed a little patience.
She was a regular in a couple of seasons of something called "For Love and Honor." Sorry. I never saw it. In fact, I never heard of it until I was doing a little research for this entry.
There were a few other projects over the years, mostly guest appearances. There wasn't a lot of regular work. It was then on to the game show circuit. Smith appeared on "Pyramid," "Super Password," and "Body Language. She was charming, funny, and most importantly, smart.
Shelley Smith always a favorite of mine.
I'm sorry more people can't say that.
