Shelley 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.[1] 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.[2]
Smith retired from acting and obtained a master's degree in psychology from Antioch University.
In 1989, she and her then husband, Reid Nathan,[3] had a son together, Justin, who died three days after his birth.[4] In 1991, she founded the Egg Donor Program, now known as Hatch Fertility, to help infertile couples.[5] Using donor eggs, Smith and Nathan attempted births through surrogacy, resulting in the 1995 birth of twins, son Nicholas and daughter Miranda.[4] After her divorce from Nathan, Smith married actor Michael Maguire.[6]
Smith suffered a cardiac arrest on August 5, 2023. She died in Los Angeles on August 8, at the age of 70.[6]
