Probably the best celebrity "$100,000 Pyramid" player ever.
She certainly gave the best "Pyramid" clue ever:

SHELLEY: "Old-fashioned Japanese women's feet."
CONTESTANT: "Things that are bound." (ding ding ding)

CHINESE,certainly?

She and her husband each had 2 children from a prior marriage;
his divorce from his previous wife inspired him to seek a new career as a divorce lawyer,
while her difficulties having children with her previous husband led her to seek a new
career arranging egg donations and surrogacy.

Certainly, but the contestant thought it was Chinese too (or at least recognized what Smith meant), and that's what won her the money.

Reminds me of the Match Game episode where the Super Match question was "September Blank." Both Gary Burghoff and the contestant said "September Bride," winning the contestant $5,000, with Gary adding "I'm a Spring Byington fan."
Byington's TV show was, of course, actually called "DECEMBER Bride," but the fact that they both made the same mistake is what won the contestant the money.

Where the dividing line is between relationships being more accurately called "May-September" and "May-December" is
probably a matter of longstanding debate.(I remember people trying to hang "December" on Demi Moore when she was in
a relationship with Ashton Kutcher,who of course not long before had been dating a January (Jones)),
