Shelley in a 1979 paparazzi pic
Quintessential Charlie Girl Shelley Hack became a superstar in 1979 when she joined the cast of Charlie's Angels. She was chosen by Aaron Spelling not only because she looked fantastic with incumbent Angels Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd, but also because she got along really well with them. Plus, there was that headline that he anticipated would generate a lot of publicity for the show - "The Charlie Girl Becomes Charlie's Newest Angel." She had enough acting experience (Hey, it wasn't Shakespeare) and already had her own following as that breezy Supermodel from those iconic and unforgettable perfume commercials and print ads. She was exactly the right fit.
