How does a gal from a very small town in Oklahoma (think: no stoplights) become a model in Milan and then an actress in L.A.? Well, ever since I discovered that was Shelley’s story, I wanted to hear all the details – especially because she is one of the most sincere, grounded, and motivated Beautiful People I’ve ever met. Not only do we discuss how these events unfolded and what life as a working model is like, but also how these big transitions impacted her growth as an individual and as an artist. Shelley talks about leaving the nest, getting guidance, trusting her gut, and taking leaps of faith.
