This role was followed by a number of other appearances in films aimed at a teenage audience, including her role as a member of a snobby high school clique in 1999’s sleeper hit Never Been Kissed, a romantic comedy co-starring Drew Barrymore and David Arquette.

The movie did not find a wide audience in theaters, but received an extremely positive reaction from critics. Ī major film role came in 1998 with the fantasy comedy Pleasantville, in which Shelton portrayed Margaret, the love interest of Tobey Maguire’s character. Both films rated poorly with reviewers and failed to attract the audiences, but James Berardinelli singled out Shelton for her performance in Warrior of Virtue, writing that her character is “the only one in the film that we develop any real interest in, and the script, apparently unable to deal with a personality having the potential to display more than one dimension, discards her perfunctorily and inelegantly”.
ġ997 saw Shelton appear in the romantic comedy Trojan War, opposite Jennifer Love Hewitt, and in the fantasy film Warriors of Virtue, as Princess Elysia. Shelton next co-starred alongside Lynda Carter in When Friendship Kills (1996), a made-for-television film about anorexia nervosa among teens.

The following year, she was cast in a minor role, as former President Nixon’s adult daughter Tricia Nixon Cox, in Oliver Stone’s acclaimed film Nixon, and guest-appeared in the television series Cybill episode “The Big Sleep-Over”. In 1994, Shelton had a supporting part in Hercules in the Underworld, the fourth made-for-television movie in the series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. The movie received mixed feedback from critics and writers and, budgeted at US$7 million, was a box office success with a worldwide gross of over US$33 million.
Shelton found her profile raised significantly when she appeared in the 1993 film The Sandlot, playing the lifeguard Wendy Peffercorn. She subsequently appeared in 1992’s television movie Up to No Good playing Denise Harmon, and had several guest-appearances in episodes of shows such as Family Matters, Camp Wilder and Crossroads. Shelton made her on-screen debut as Roberto’s girlfriend at camp in Grand Canyon.
