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").
