Show 1964


Shelley Hack’s first spread was on the September 1964 issue of Show Magazine (Barbra Streisand was the cover.) The title of the piece was Shelley Hack: A Show First. The publisher of the magazine was George Huntington Hartford II who was an heir to the The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company fortune. Hartford was born in New York City and was the son of Edward V. Hartford, heir to the A&P fortune and auto parts inventor. It was Hartford who spotted Shelley at a debutante ball an urged her to try modeling.
