She famously started out as a model in the 1980s, making an iconic series of Calvin Klein commercials talking about the jeans without rally talking about them (Andie MacDowell, an honoree on this blog, and Martha Plimpton also appeared in those TV ads)before making a name for herself as an actress, playing Julie GIllette in <i>Hotel</i>, the ABC-TV series version of Arthur Hailey's novel of the same title that was produced by Aaron Spelling (So many Spelling-produced shows had a character named Julie, and as none of his wives nor daughters bore that name, I have no idea why they did.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Since the end of the eighties, Ms Belafonte has done numerous TV series and TV movies, playing Dr. Laura Wingate in the USA sci-fi drama series "Beyond Reality," which ran for two seasons from 1991 to 1993 as well as the romantic 1994 TV-movie drama <i>French Silk</i> and the 1995 feminist TV movie <i>The Heidi Chronicles</i>. She also hosted a travel program called "Travels In Mexico And The Caribbean With Shari Belafonte" on NYC Media. Ms, Belafonte has, though, also done theatrically released movies - as far back as 1982, she starred in If You Could See What I Hear, a bio film about blind musician Tom Sullivan. She played Heather Johnson, Sullivan's first girlfriend. (Sullivan is not black, but it didn't matter to him, as a blind man, that Heather was not white.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjacYdci5DxyOaPNT77-EY6QwQOmWsWw5vbaazX8gxiUF35h82z9-xm03WUi-by_sFrU26cThrmiHtNa17zmOUDT7qq8YKIbKjW3fyVVwmIEXdD-XeKyGuVrBL0BwZFh3RZ3f1MV-K9wQhLNmNazlDAET2fPedABsUmWU37w_4iugLDR-7GAOlLyg/s472/Shari%20Belafonte%20glamour%20shot%20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="472" data-original-width="309" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjacYdci5DxyOaPNT77-EY6QwQOmWsWw5vbaazX8gxiUF35h82z9-xm03WUi-by_sFrU26cThrmiHtNa17zmOUDT7qq8YKIbKjW3fyVVwmIEXdD-XeKyGuVrBL0BwZFh3RZ3f1MV-K9wQhLNmNazlDAET2fPedABsUmWU37w_4iugLDR-7GAOlLyg/s320/Shari%20Belafonte%20glamour%20shot%20.jpg" width="209" /></a></div><br />More recently, Shari Belafonte has played Julia on the Apple+ morning-news satire "The Morning Show," starring Jennifer Aniston (another honoree on this blog).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Full disclosure requires me to state that I have connected with Shari Belafonte through social media thanks to my connection with top models of the 1980s.
