Shelley's Mini Bio
Shelley Marie Hack was born on July 6, 1947 in White Plains, New York, but was raised in nearby Greenwich, Connecticut. She graduated from Greenwich Academy and went off to Smith College where she earned a degree in history. But while still in school, as a teen, she began modeling during her summer breaks. Subsequently, after her schooling, she signed on full-time at her modeling agency, Ford Models Inc., and became one of the top models in the United states. In 1976, she jumped to Supermodel status via a Revlon commercial for Charlie Perfume. She was one of first batch of models who were able to negotiate previously unheard of, lucrative and exclusive deals with giant cosmetics companies. The worldwide popularity she gained as THE Charlie Girl brought her to the attention of Aaron Spelling  who cast her in his hit series Charlie's Angels in 1979. Although she was let go after one season, the publicity she got from the series was enough to keep her in the public eye in the '80s. Shelley then tackled stage via plays like Vanities (1981) and Born Yesterday (1982) and was critically praised. This led to roles in movies like Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy (1983) and cult classics like Troll (1986) and The Stepfather (1987), as well as the lead in two other TV series, Cutter to Houston (1983) and Jack and Mike (1986.) She married director Harry Winer in the late '80s and in 1990 gave birth to their daughter, Devon Rose. In the '90s, Shelley began delving in grassroots politics and political fund-raising. She would receive her MBA from the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) and, in 1997, she formed Shelley Hack Media Consultancy (SHMC,) a media consultancy firm that worked in pre- and post-conflict countries. She would go into war-torn countries and help them establish democracy through media. She worked extensively in Eastern Europe and Western Asia and traveled all over the world. After ten years, Shelley settled down in California, and in 2010, formed Smash Media Productions with her husband where she acts as Vice President for Development.
