In 1979, Charlie's Angels executive producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg - with input from stars Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd - selected Shelley Hack as Charlie's newest Angel. Shelley received topmost consideration due to her impeccable background. She was a bright young woman with a high I.Q. from upscale Greenwich, Connecticut. She had a history degree from Smith (a classy East Coast college.) And, because of her Revlon Charlie endorsements, she was already one of the most recognizable faces in the world. Aaron Spelling said in the documentary TV Tales: Charlie's Angels that he wanted somebody who was going to blend with Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd's beauty and style, so Shelley was the one that he chose. Shelley was hired to play newest Angel Tiffany Welles; and her casting made news all around the world.
