Ive read that about her, but dont believe it one bit Ive seen TV interviews with several people who have worked with her, and Ive heard nothing but good about her TV interviews seem more reliable to me than written words from an unknown source.

I didnt see it in writing, the other castmembers said that she was hard to work with when they interviewed them. The actually castmembers of cheers said those words. So it is the truth.
She complained about everything, when everyone else was ready for the scene she was always the one to come in last. She was very hard to work with in the end

Yes, she is certainly a very good, intelligent and funny actress. I liked her very much as Diane Chambers in Cheers. She made the show a hit, along with Ted Danson. And I liked her alot in "Irreconcilable Differences". She's quite a versatile actress. I'm very sorry for what happened to her, if indeed it was a suicide attempt.
I heard the group at Cheers 5b4were not very kind to her at all. In the last episode, they wouldn't talk to her or anything.they treated her like "nothing". I couldn't believe that.there's just no excuse for that kind of behavior. It was so unkind. Even if she may have acted "diva-like" or whatever, that's still no excuse to treat another cast member in that way. She contributed alot to the show, they should have respected her as a co-worker.
It just shows what immature jerks they all were. I think they drove her away from the show. But I always found a core of genuineness, honesty and integrity in Shelley, no matter what her role was. She was the "light" of the show, "Cheers" and from what I heard, a consummate professional in her art. I missed her alot when she left the show. If she had problems with the cast, it ws probably due to misunderstandings. She had a particular way of workingshe liked to ask questions. She took her role seriously. That's how real professionals know how to workthey have to ask questions and learn. Apparently, the other cast members didn't like that about her. That's too bad.that's how grown ups work. In college, we are always encouraged to ask questions.
Shelley, I like you and think you are a fine human being. I hope you get well soon, and I'll be praying for you.

This post from, pedalwatch, is over 5 years old but I liked it so much that I had to comment on it. I agree, Shelley was great on Cheers and I also missed her, very much, when she left the show. I'm not certain what caused the tension on the show, if it's true, but she worked a lot after Cheers and if it was all her fault I don't believe she would have been given the roles that she landed. Anyway, I also like the rest of the gang on Cheers too, so I will agree with pedalwatch and say it was probably all a misunderstanding Shelley always did her job, as far as it concerned me, she made me laugh, she made me sad, she got my attention when she acted sexy What more could I ask for, she is great at whatever she does.

I have to agree with the last two posts and others who praise Shelly. I just saw her with Bette Midler and she is amazing. I loved her bef238ore and then she kind of disappeared. I am glad to see that she is back again making series/movies. Her comedy timing is perfect and she is HIGHLY under rated as an actress. Hopefully she will be properly recognised.
Its interesting that the posts here are years apart and people still love her and come back to comment -

I agree. She is wonderful, beautiful and talented. I'm a forever fan of hers. I can watch her movies over and over.
