BiographyShelley Smith (October 25, 1952 – August 8, 2023) was an American fashion model and actress. She first came to prominence as a fashion model, appearing on many magazine covers in the 1970s and early 1980s. She then became an actress, primarily on television, working throughout the 1980s. She was in the main casts of two short-lived series, The Associates (9 episodes aired) and For Love and Honor (13 episodes), but mostly made guest appearances on episodes of series such as Murder, She Wrote; The Love Boat; and celebrity game shows in the 1980s, including Super Password, Pyramid, and Body Language.

Smith retired from acting and obtained a master's degree in psychology from Antioch University.

In 1989, she and her then husband, Reid Nathan, had a son together, Justin, who died three days after his birth. In 1991, she founded the Egg Donor Program, now known as Hatch Fertility, to help infertile couples. Using donor eggs, Smith and Nathan attempted births through surrogacy, resulting in the 1995 birth of twins, son Nicholas and daughter Miranda. After her divorce from Nathan, Smith married actor Michael Maguire.

Smith suffered a cardiac arrest on August 5, 2023. She died in Los Angeles on August 8, at the age of 70.

Wild Cards

Wild Cards

Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
