Career

At camp in Grand Canyon, Shelton made her on-screen debut as Roberto's girlfriend. Denise Harmon, a television actress who appeared in 1992's "Up to No Good," appeared in many episodes of shows including Family Matters, Camp Wilder, and Crossroads. Shelton's fame was raised a lot when she appeared in the 1993 film The Sandlot, as the lifeguard Wendy Peffercorn. The film received mixed feedback from editors and writers, and, with a global gross of more than US$33 million, it was a box office hit. It has since established a cult following. Shelton appeared in Hercules in the Underworld, the fourth made-for-television film in the series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, in 1994. In Oliver Stone's acclaimed film Nixon, she appeared in a minor role, as former President Nixon's adult daughter Tricia Nixon Cox, and she appeared in the television series "The Big Sleep-Over" during the following year. Shelton co-starred alongside Lynda Carter in When Friendship Kills (1996), a made-for-television film about anorexia nervosa among teens, shelton co-starred.

Shelton appeared in the romantic comedy Trojan War, opposite Jennifer Love Hewitt, and in the fantasy film Warriors of Virtue as Princess Elysia. Both films were poorly received by reviewers and failed to attract audiences, but James Berardinelli singled out Shelton for her role in Warriors of Virtue, saying that her character is "the only one in the film that we have an interest in" and that the script, which is apparently unable to deal with a person with the ability to display more than one dimension, bans her perfunctorily and inelegantly."

Shelton portrayed Margaret, the love interest of Tobey Maguire's character in 1998, in which shelton played Margaret. The film did not attract a large audience in theaters, but critics gave it a glowing review. This role was followed by a number of other appearances in films directed at a teen 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. Shelton played the sister of a newly engaged woman in the unsuccessful romantic comedy The Bachelor, opposite Renée Zellweger, was portrayed by her father in the short Protect-O-Man, a black comedy about "an agoraphobic whose anxiety is increased by a stalker on the prowl in her neighborhood," as shown by Cinema Review.

Shelton appeared in three feature films in 2001, and the actress, who had varying degrees of success, helped her establish herself as an up-and-coming actress. Sugar & Spice, Francine McDougall's teen crime dark comedy starring Marla Sokoloff, Melissa George, and Mena Suvari, was Shelton's first film as a leading actress. Diane Weston played Diane Weston, the head of a group of high school cheerleaders who conspire and commit armed robbery. Despite negative reviews, Brendan Kelly of Variety found Shelton to be "the ridiculously peppy but also wise Diane," and Brian Orndorf of Film Fodder wrote: "Marley Shelton is the one who breaks out of Spice as "the ridiculously peppy yet still smart Diane." She achieves the unthinkable with this script, by attempting to create some of a character for herself. Shelton, a sharp-eyed beauty, takes the film away from the sizable cast. "She emerges as the only thing to recommend in the muddled and compromised Sugar & Spice blend." The film, which was budgeted at US$11 million, earned US$16.9 million worldwide and became a cult favourite afterwards.

Shelton appeared in the slasher film Valentine as friends who are being stalked by an unknown assassination attempt while preparing for Valentine's Day. The film, which was released just a week after Sugar and Spice, earned a modest US$36 million worldwide and was largely panned. However, Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle found that the lead actors were "vivid, and the roles they play are clearly delineated," he said, criticizing Shelton for her "nice gravity" portraying her character. Jake Gyllenhaal's last film of 2001 was the comedy Bubble Boy, loosely based on David Vetter's life in which she played the love interest of a man living in a sterilized dome. The product was described as "stupid and devoid of any redeeming features," according to a CNN analyst, but Orndorf said Shelton gave a "solid impression" with her empathetic presence and her radiant good looks, which made her a "strong assertion."

Shelton appeared in a variety of independent films after focusing on studio features; in the film Just a Kiss (2002), she portrayed a struggling modern dancer, as the dream girl of a mafia debt collector in the drama Dallas 362 (2003) and producer Phil Kaufman's dramedy Grand Theft Parsons (2003). Both Shelton and her sister Samantha appeared in Moving Alan, an independent production directed by her father. Shelton appeared as The Customer in the first scene of Frank Miller's popular film adaptation of Sin City in 2005. She appeared in Paul Weitz' black comedy American Dreamz and Tony Goldwyn's drama The Last Kiss in 2006.

Shelton attracted more attention for his appearance in the lead role of Dr. Dakota Block in the Robert Rodriguez—Quentin Tarantino horror double feature film Grindhouse, appearing in both of the film's segments (a cameo in Tarantino's segment and a supporting role in Rodriguez's). She was excited to work on "playing with the principles of building suspense" with Rodriguez and Tarantino, who she referred to as "masters of their craft," as she based her character in Alfred Hitchcock's female leads, particularly Tippi Hedren. Despite some encouraging critical reviews, the picture's ticket sales were significantly lower than box office analysts' hopes.

Shelton appeared as FBI Special Agent Rachel Young in Oliver Stone's biopic film W. for a short time. The show received mixed reviews and was canceled after a season due to the inability of holding the CSI audience lead-in. Robert Bianco wrote for USA Today that she has "no character to play at all" or at least none that remains consistent between the two episodes reviewed, while Chicago Tribune said her appearance was "much less interesting" than co-star Rufus Sewell's, and that whenever her character "opens her mouth," the show's flaws come into sharper focus.

Shelton appeared in the psychological thriller A Perfect Getaway, opposite Milla Jovovich and Timothy Olyphant, and she obtained the leading role of Madeleine Gray, a hip New York art gallery owner, in the independent film Untitled. During an interview with Los Angeles Times, she described her character as "there's a trace to her." She's as keen as she is searching for the 'get,' the next big thing, but she also has a passion for art.' Despite a limited number of people's exposure, the film received rave reviews. Shelton "has the energy and presence of a born comedienne," Roger Ebert said, while writing for The New York Times, Stephen Holden wrote that she "gives a bright screwball appearance that recalls frisky young Diane Keaton." She made her last film appearance in 2009, the independent ensemble comedy Women in Disgust, in which she portrayed a flight attendant and one in a group of many women in Los Angeles whose lives interconnect in a single day. Joe Neumaier of the New York Daily News called the film a "forced, charmless multi-character [production]," but DVD Talk's Tyler Foster said Shelton had a "brief presence" in her role.

Shelton reprised her role as "a rambunctious love for women and admiration for flamboyant production design" for Elektra Luxx (2010), which Los Angeles Times characterized as "a rambunctious love for women and adoration for flamboyant production design." In the Wes Craven slasher sequel Scream 4 (2011), Judy Hicks played Deputy Judy Hicks. She had previously auditioned for the role of Tatum Riley, portrayed by Rose McGowan, in Scream (1996), but she was given the opportunity by Lake Bell only four days before filming was scheduled to begin, citing scheduling conflicts. The film earned largely mixed reviews from critics around the world; Matthew Turner for View London said Shelton turned in a "enjoyably bizarre performance."

Shelton reunited with Carla Gugino in The Mighty Macs, an independent sports drama, as Sister Sunday, a nun of Immaculata University and Cathy Rush's assistant coach. In October 2011, the film was released in theaters, more than three years since it was shot due to the difficulty of finding a distributor. "Shelton's faith supports her strength and integrity," reviewer Nell Minow wrote about her sister. She appeared in episodes of Harry's Law and Mad Men in 2011, 2013, respectively.

Short film Mediation by Spanish filmmaker Francisco Lorite, in which Shelton appeared with Freddy Rodriguez as a couple whose "divorce mediation [...] spirals completely out of control," was released in Los Angeles as part of the 2014 NewFilmmakers Film Festival, where she was nominated for Best Performance in a Comedy. Shelton, Samantha Morton and Helen Hunt in Steven Bernstein's independent drama Decoding Annie Parker (2014), which was limited to limited markets, was the ill-fated sister of a woman tirelessly searching for a cure for breast cancer. In the Lifetime television series Following Eleventh Hour, Shelton's second leading role on a television series following Eleventh Hour was the part of a doctor who successfully fertilized embryos in a dystopian future, when women stopped having children due to an infertility pandemic. Allison Keene of The Hollywood Reporter highlighted the series' "female lead" and reliance on "a woman's issue," but Time's James Ponniewozik criticized the decision to introduce Shelton's character as "a woman on the prowl for a baby daddy." For one season, the Lottery Show aired.

In the psychological thriller Solace (2015), Shelton played the wife of an FBI special agent, opposite Anthony Hopkins and Colin Farrell. In Heaven Sent (2016), which premiered as a Lifetime Christmas film, she appeared as one half of a couple on the brink of divorce. Shelton appeared as the wife of an English teacher in NBC's latest musical drama series Rise (2018), which was inspired by Michael Sokolove's book Drama High. "The ensemble responds to improved writing and storytelling clarity with improved performances as the season progresses," Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter noted. Rise was cancelled after one season, as seen in Eleventh Hour and The Lottery. Shelton appeared in the science fiction epic film Rampage, which grossed over US$428 million worldwide, in 2018.

In Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett's Scream (2022), the fifth installment of the Scream film series and the first in the franchise not to be directed by Wes Craven following his death in 2015. Her role is one of the few characters to be introduced in one of the sequels and then turn it into a later installment, while her character's son, played by Dylan Minnette, is named Wes in honor of Craven. "I was really taken with just the message and focus on the doing right by Wes Craven, likening an homage, reverence, and admiration for what he started," she said. Following its January premiere, the film has earned over US$140 million globally and was lauded by critics for recognizing Craven's legacy and providing critical commentary on horror films, with some describing it as the best of the Scream sequels.
