Shelley appeared in many ads during her tenure as a Supermodel in the 1970s. In 1971, she appeared in an ad for White Stag. White Stag was a popular brand of clothing that specialized in skiwear, sportswear, and activewear. "We Make Beautiful Clothes for Active People" was their tagline at the time. In the ad, Shelley wore a bright-colored winter ski jumpsuit with a contrasting collar and a contrasting zip front closure. Contrasting zippers were used for the pockets as well; and a matching belt was also included. Matching ski boots, ski goggles, and gloves finished her look. A scarf accessorized her look. And Shelley looked warm, chic and stylish in her chic skiwear.

January 1980

Shelley became a household name in 1979 when she joined the cast of Charlie's Angels. She went through all the things all the Angels before her went through, superstardom and constant media attention. She told People magazine in 1980, "I feel like I've been sunbathing on Three Mile Island." The very private star was under constant scrutiny by the press, viewers and critics alike. Her looks, her background, her lifestyle, and even her boyfriends were under scrutiny. In 1979, after getting the part of Tiffany Welles in Charlie's Angels, the tabloids reported that Shelley and her then boyfriend writer/director Nicholas Meyer called it quits. Then by 1980, Shelley was dating writer/director John Leone, Meyer's more outgoing friend. Shelley and John were spotted dining, dancing, and laughing together at fashionable clubs and restaurants around Los Angeles. In February of 1980, Shelley and John attended the event The Love Boat Honors Helen Hayes which was held at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.

1983 Medical Show

for Cutter to Houston, 1983

Shelley starred in  the 1983 TV series Cutter to Houston. The title referred to the computer link (a groundbreaking innovation at the time) between a clinic in small town Cutter, Texas, and the Texas Medical Centre in Houston, Texas. Shelley played Dr. Beth Gilbert, an ambitious surgeon from San Francisco who wanted out of Cutter and had her eye on the big-city hospital in Houston. To prepare for her role, Shelley spent time with a woman surgeon, watched her perform operations and tried to find out as much as she could about being a doctor. And she found out that doctors need that protective wall between them and their patients to buffer the emotional impact that came with their profession. This Shelley told Leta Powell in an interview. "It is a medical show and it tries to deal with people's problems and people's fears, because we all have certain fears," said Shelley. "And we also try to have a light side to it too. I mean, we think we have some fun," Shelley added, "I mean the three of us (Shelley and her co-stars Jim Metzler and Alec Baldwin) certainly have a lot of fun doing it."

Found Money, 1983

Shelley appeared alongside comedy legends Dick Van Dyke and Sid Caesar in the 1983 TV movie Found Money. The movie was about computer expert Max Shepherd and security guard Sam Green, two former employees of First National Bank who have been let go with little to no benefits after decades of employment. Max uses his computer skills to create an account in the bank using the money from inactive accounts that are automatically transferred to the state when not claimed after five years. Using the name Seymour Good, head of The Invisible Friend Inc., he transfers the money to accounts of ordinary citizens who bring kindness to the world. After some convincing, Sam joins Max in his quest. As good Samaritans begin receiving the money, the story is picked up by the press and is covered by reporter Leslie Phillips (Shelley Hack) who becomes Max's love interest.

Found Money, 1983

Shelley found both Dick Van Dyke and Sid Caesar "very generous to work with" but had to keep up with the their pace. "You had to work so fast, because everything was left loose," she told TV Guide. "I felt like I kind of jumped on a moving train," she added. As for Shelley's performance in Found Money, Television writer Fred Rothenberg said "Miss Hack's acting has improved since she played one of Charlie's Angels." Shelley said of the TV movie, "It's a whole type of distinctly American comedy, the closest to theater on film I'd ever gotten." Prior to Found Money, Shelley had starred in several stage plays in the early 1980s and had received excellent reviews for her performances. She was also cast in the Martin Scorsese film The King of Comedy where she held her own in scenes opposite acting giant Robert De Niro; she got excellent reviews for her performance in the film as well. Shelley had come a very long way indeed.

Shelley first became famous in the 1970s as THE Charlie Girl. In 1976, she was hand-picked to represent the Revlon Charlie brand, as she was the embodiment the brand's ideal – gorgeous, sexy and young. Makeup artist Rick Gillette recalls, "Shelley Hack was really the perfect girl for Charlie." In 1977, she appeared in a newspaper ad for Charlie called "Charlie's Show-Case." It was a promo that offered the Charlie's Show-Case, a fashionable mirrored boutique box/case that contained 3 shades of Charlie's dazzling eye shadows, Charlie's crème blush, Charlie's frosted lip gloss, Charlie's Fresh New Makeup, and 3/4 oz. of Charlie's purse perfume. It was available for just $6 with any $5 or more purchase from the Charlie Collection by Revlon. Now wasn't that a great Charlie purchase.

1996 Movie Premiere

By the mid-1990s, Shelley was beginning to pay more attention to her other ventures and was seen less and less on the big and small screens. Her last appearance on the big screen (so far) was the 1996 theatrical comedy House Arrest. It starred Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Pollack and a very young Jennifer Love Hewitt. Kyle Howard played Grover Beindorf, the main character in the movie. It was directed by Shelley's husband Harry Winer. Shelley and Harry's daughter Rosie also appeared in the film and her name appears on the credits. But Shelley, who had a cameo playing Dr. Erica Gilliland, Ph.D., was left uncredited. She was in two scenes in the movie. She first appeared on the TV screen promoting her character's book Feel the Fear and Go For It. Then she appeared on the back cover of that very book in the scene where Grover was reading it in the library. It was fun to watch her in her short appearances. (For more, check out: 1996 Cameo)

A Super Transfer

on the cover of Télé-Junior, May 1981

Shelley became Charlie's newest Angel in 1979, and she jumped from being Revlon Charlie's Supermodel to becoming TV's latest Superstar Angel, joining incumbent Angels Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd. "I still have not really recovered from the surprise of landing the part," Shelley said at the time. "It has been quite a whirl," she added. She was instantly propelled to international superstardom; and her face appeared on magazines, tabloids and newspapers all around the world. Télé-Junior, a youth-oriented magazine that was produced from 1977 to 1983 in France, featured Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd and Shelley Hack on their May 1981 cover. Included in the mag was an iron transfer image of the current Angels lineup. Iron transfers were popular at the time. They were images printed on HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl) that could be transferred onto fabrics like T-shirts, blouses and other pieces of clothing by merely ironing it on. And Télé-Junior encouraged its readers to check out "UN SUPER TRANSFERT: DROLES DE DAMES" ("A SUPER TRANSFER: CHARLIE'S ANGELS").
