Didn't she host some specials or shows for the Travel Channel in the early to mid-90's? This work is not listed on her IMDb credits. Anyone know what that show was?

Info re: Travel Channel about Deb Shelton did and "World's Most Exotic Travel Destinations" 19 episodes she hosted along with actress Kim Alexis. These appear to be re-cycled travel episode fragments from the "Travel Channel" on cable TV in the 1980's,
The copyright dates on the video packages state "1991" and the 19 packages each include about 10 quick 4 minute visits in each 45 minute episode, many repeated t5b4o places like Hawaii and Switzerland.
Deb Shelton is 65 now, and still working in minor parts on TV shows according to her IMDb Filmography.
She starred in a 1993 movie titled "Sins Of The Night" not available on DVD, but still available used on VHS cassettes for about $30 from Amazon.Com which I haven't seen. The movie got bad reviews but the reviews all commented on Deb Shelton's sizzling looks and acting..romantic lead in her then middle 40's in a role usually meant for a very young woman in her early 20's.
The "World's Most Exotic Travel Destinations" series (I've finally obtained all but 5 of the 19 used from Amazon.Com..all are very well done "quick trips" to expensive, far away vacation places) pairs Deborah Shelton with Kim Alexis, who is about 20 years younger than Shelton, a pretty long haired blonde with a flatter chest than Deb. Shelton's and a stranger lower than average voice..not low, sexy, and sultry..just low.
Deb. Shelton had a career (now probably ended by old age.she's now 65 in 2013) as a hostess, spokeswoman clothes horse type who seems to have worked non-stop since she was a very young girl in the late 1960's leveraging her status as a beauty contest winner into decades long work in which she has managed to keep up her looks and energy in spite of the inevitable drag of years and what must have been exceedingly physically hard wo5b4rk for her.
She really is a "super-star" in her way, and the "World's Most Exotic Travel Destinations" work she did shows a "star quality" quite wonderful and interesting, and, it seems, never really used ideally or profitably in feature movies telling fiction stories.
She really did "have the stuff" but didn't connect with writers or tech people who could make her part of good movie which used a type like Deborah Shelton in overall good feature movies.
She's a very interesting as well as physically beautiful woman with an infectiously warm smile and verbal manner. Good at hostessing but could have been good in good feature movies had the right one been done with the right people.
