"Love Boat Angels"

1979 was a new era for the hit TV series Charlie's Angels. Supermodel Shelley Hack joined Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd to form Charlie's glamorous new Angel team. Nolan Miller, the wardrobe designer of the series, said, "I begged Aaron to hire Shelley. There was something about her I really liked; I was impressed with her Charlie perfume commercials and how she could create a look just by turning her collar up and putting her hands in her pockets." The wardrobe budget was increased to $20,000 per episode; and, according to People magazine, each Angel was to go through eight costume changes per episode (but it was more like three to five, with Farrah making the most - at eight changes - in "Fallen Angel").  But for the two-hour season premiere, the episode "Love Boat Angels," the Angels went through 10 outfit changes each. Shelley's outfits were tailor-made to highlight her physical assets as well as her classy character. She wore a woman's skirt suit and a woman's pants suit and a summer dress-and-blazar combo. In one scene, she wore an an ice blue silk satin evening gown by Nolan Miller (inspired by the Edith Head ice blue French silk satin gown worn by Grace Kelly to the 1955 Oscars), which she also wore for promo pics for that season. She wore a couple of one-piece bathing suits as well as a number of short Bermuda shorts, all of which highlighted her long Barbie doll legs. She also wore a tube top which highlighted her creamy, sexy shoulders. "Love Boat Angels" topped the Nielsen ratings when it was first aired in September 12, 1979 - and everyone concluded that Charlie's Angels was in for another great season.

A Relationship That Becomes An Adventure

for Jack and Mike, 1986

Shelley's third foray into series TV was Jack and Mike in 1986. Executive producer David Gerber believed so much in Shelley that he wanted to give her her own TV series. It was initially called Jackie O'Shea, with Shelley in the title role. But when it aired, it was retitled Jack and Mike - alluding to the names of the main characters Jackie Shea and her husband Mike Brennan (played by Tom Mason) - with both Shelley and Tom getting equal billing. Shelley was happy and excited about her new TV series. "I saw in the script a modern woman who really loves her job and really loves her husband and is trying to balance the two," she told ET in 1986. "I read this and I liked it so much," she added, "that I signed on the dotted line for five years, which is a big chunk of your life. And you don't sign on the dotted line for five years unless you really, really want to do it." Shelley also said that, "This is a couple with a growing relationship that becomes an adventure. And that's not easy."

Shelley appeared on many magazines and catalogs during her tenure as Supermodel in the 1970s. She appeared on many covers, fashion spreads, and sewing patterns for McCall's... for their magazines, catalogs, and pattern covers. In 1971, Shelley appeared on the package cover for The Hot Ones by McCall's which contained pattern number 2800, a pattern for three versions of hotpants or short shorts. Shorts A had a zippered front opening, buttoned waistband, belt loops and was self-cuffed. Shorts B had a zippered front opening, a button trim and buttoned waistband. Shorts C had a waist elastic and was self-cuffed. Shelley wore all three versions. She wore a navy and white version of Shorts A with a red, short-sleeved, scoop-necked, fitted T-shirt that had a fun appliqué on one shoulder.

Look-In magazine was a kiddie/teen UK magazine that featured two-page comic/picture strips of the most popular television shows of the era. Subtitled as "The Junior TV Times," its first issue came out in 1971 and its final issue came out in 1994. Many popular American TV series were featured in the mag including Kung Fu, The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman, CHiPs, Battlestar Galactica, Mork and Mindy... and, of course Charlie's Angels.

From 1979 to 1980, during the airing of the 4th season of Charlie's Angels, Shelley's Tiffany Welles character was featured in the mag's Charlie's Angels comic/picture strip. Along with her co-Angels Kelly Garrett (Jaclyn Smith) and Kris Munroe (Cheryl Ladd), Tiffany solved cases for Charlie for several issues, two pages a week. Her first case debuted on November of 1979 and her final case ended on October of 1980. The mag also featured occasional writeups about Shelley as well as posters of her and the Angel team of that season.

Express Sweepstakes

Shelley in promo pics for Charlie

perfume and cosmetics, 1982

Shelley was THE quintessential Charlie Girl and appeared in many, many ads for the brand. In 1982, she appeared in a newspaper ad for Charlie called the "Charlie Express Sweepstakes" which was a promo tie-up with American Express. All anyone had to do was fill out an entry form at any Charlie counter to get a chance to win a fabulous 15-day trip for two to a faraway place of their choice along with "Mad Money" for their whims and fantasies. The promo also offered customers Charlie's "It's A Sky Blue World" color collection, a collection of cosmetics and nail polish in shades like South Sea Coral, Irish Rose and Charlie Frost. Included of course, was Charlie cologne. Offered as well was "A Trunkful of Charlie," a mini-steamer trunk which housed eye shadows, blushes, lipsticks, lip glosses, a shadow applicator and a split of Charlie cologne in a 6 oz. champagne bottle. And Shelley was gorgeous in the fabulous ad.

1983 TV Series

Shelley's second TV series was Cutter to Houston back in 1983. To promote the show, she made rounds and did interviews where she talked about her latest endeavor. One of the interviews she did was with Leta Powell Drake, a television journalist who interviewed entertainment and sports stars for the television station KOLN/KGIN in Nebraska (she interviewed many stars in the 1980s). Shelley discussed her role in the TV series and how much research she did to prepare for it. She also talked a little about her modeling career and her mother.

She Did Her Best

screen caps from The Charlie's Angels Fandom FB post

(thank you so much The Charlie's Angels Fandom

for supporting Shelley Hack)

Shelley became Charlie's 5th Angel Tiffany Welles in 1979, during the 4th season of the hit TV series. And she won the part of Tiffany not just because she was known as THE Charlie Girl at the time (although that was a big help), but because she passed a rigorous audition process. She went through several acting auditions (note: while she was modeling, she was also studying acting in New York, at the Herbert Berghof Studios under Jack Wolzer). She went through a personality test (the producers probably wanted a more relaxed and peaceful set). And she came with the approval of Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd, her future co-Angels.

But it seems Shelley Hack has been unfairly blamed for the demise of Charlie's Angels ever since the time she appeared on the show. Many of the show's fans have said "not very nice things" about her, her appearance and her acting. But many of the things that transpired during her season were not really in her control.

Charlie's Angels was entering its 4th season when Shelley joined the show. Shelley's Charlie Girl image was a huge publicity boost for the 4th season. But unlike Cheryl Ladd who joined the show in season 2, Shelley had a harder time endearing herself to the Charlie's Angels viewers.

Cheryl Ladd did a phenomenal job replacing Farrah Fawcett during the show's 2nd season. She was gorgeous, charming, and vivacious. But she also had an advantage at the time. Charlie's Angels had only been on for one season when she joined the show, so the premise and novelty of the series was still at an all-time high. Some people hadn't discovered the series yet, so when watching it for the first time starting with the 2nd season (there was no streaming in the 1970s), the idea of the show was still fresh. Plus, Farrah Fawcett's abrupt departure from the show somewhat tainted her image and turned off some fans which may have worked in Cheryl's favor.

that appeared in Rona Barrett's Hollywood mag,

January 1980

Shelley didn't have this advantage. Charlie's Angels had already slipped in the over-all ratings- from #4 in season 2 to #12 in season 3 - so it was an uphill battle for her. Not only was she joining a show whose premise and novelty were becoming stale, she was replacing a character and actress who had a solid fan base. Shelley was still an up-and-coming actress.

Plus, although she passed the acting auditions, and although she had already gone through acting school in New York, producers didn't have faith in her acting ability, so much so that her lines were kept to a minimum early in the season. According to producer Ed Lakso (whose pick for Tiffany was Shari Belafonte), the persona of Tiffany and the performance of Shelley did not create the desired effect; so, he kept pulling lines away from her when they were filming the season opener "Love Boat Angels." So Shelley’s introduction to the Angels viewers became somewhat lackluster.

In addition, the incumbent cast wanted more time off, so single Angel episodes (episodes that focused on one Angel) were produced. This would have been okay, but Jaclyn's, Cheryl's and even guest Angel Farrah's solo episodes were all aired before Shelley's. This is the reason most viewers had the impression that Shelley added nothing to the show. After the 2nd episode, the team episode "Angels Go Truckin'", a barrage of solo episodes starring Jaclyn (two episodes), Farrah (two episodes) and Cheryl (one episode) were aired. This kept Shelley in the background for a long time. It was only during the 10th episode (which, due to replays, was aired during the 12th week) was Shelley allowed to shine in her solo episode... which seems too long a time to introduce a new character. And, sadly, Shelley did so well in her solo episodes. It's really a shame they were aired so late on the season. (For more, check out: Recommended Episode Order)

So please, stop blaming Shelley for the demise of Charlie's Angels. There were many things that were not in her control and she was only hired to be an actress. Unlike Kate Jackson, who had a hand in creating Charlie's Angels, Shelley had no such influence. She did her best with what was given her.

P.S. Something to ponder on:

Shelley was The Charlie Girl before, during and after her stint on Charlie's Angels. She most likely had a contract with Revlon that kept her from changing her appearance without their approval. The new Angel team consisted of two blondes and a brunette. Previously, it was two brunettes and a blonde. In 1976, when the pilot was tested, the audience couldn't tell the two brunettes apart. So, when the Angels went into series, Kate Jackson's hair was cut to a bob to distinguish her from Jaclyn Smith. Since, most probably, Shelley couldn't cut her hair due to her Revlon contract, it was curled instead to make it look shorter and distinguish her from Cheryl Ladd, which many viewers weren't fond of.

Shelley wore a couple of gowns designed by Miller on Charlie's Angels. She wore an ice blue silk satin evening gown (inspired by the Edith Head ice blue French silk satin gown worn by Grace Kelly to the 1955 Oscars) for promo pics as well as on the episode "Love Boat Angels." She also wore a gold form-fitting satin evening gown on the episode "Dancin' Angels." Miller also designed other outfits for Shelley but it seems they were never made.

Understated and Spot-On

Shelley with Robert De Niro

in a screen shot from the Martin Scorsese

film The King of Comedy

Shelley Hack was fortunate enough to have worked with some of the best and brightest names in Hollywood. In 1983, she appeared in the Martin Scorsese film The King of Comedy which starred Robert de Niro and Jerry Lewis. During her audition, she read for both Scorsese and De Niro, then went home and waited. "I had a feeling I would get it," Shelley said, "Even so, it was a nervous time. It was obviously such an important break for me - getting it would make people look at me differently." After four months, her agent called and said she got the part. But then, "I couldn't work because I read for The King of Comedy and got the part. The picture was delayed and I couldn't take a chance on doing anything else."

filmmaker, writer and artist Larry Blamire

recently posted his thoughts about the Martin Scorsese

film The King of Comedy, praising Shelley

for her outstanding performance in the film

(Thank you so much to Larry Blamire for posting)

Shelley thought working with Scorsese and De Niro was an exhilarating experience. "Bobby (De Niro) plays a stand-up comic in the picture and he's extraordinary." Shelley recounts, "The first day on the set, I was standing talking to Marty (Scorsese) and everyone was laughing. I didn't know why until Marty said to me, 'Aren't you going to say hello to Bobby?' And there he was beside me. I just hadn't recognized him. He looks entirely different in the picture." The Rupert Pupkin character was quite a departure from the characters De Niro had played prior. Shelley's performance in The King of Comedy received glowing reviews. As one critic put it, "Shelley Hack shines as an unpleasant talent coordinator trying to make Pupkin (de Niro's character) understand her polite rejections." In 2026, filmmaker, writer and artist Larry Blamire said Shelley's performance was "understated and spot-on."

All-Star Hairstyles D

for Good Housekeeping magazine,

By August 1983, Shelley had become an established Hollywood star. She had received critical praise for her work on stage and had a Martin Scorsese film under her belt (where she worked opposite Robert De Niro). She had also finished a couple of TV movies with respected Hollywood veterans George Segal and Dick Van Dyke. Her latest TV series was to premiere that October. So Shelley would regularly appear on magazines and newspapers at the time. In August 1983, she appeared on the pages of Good Housekeeping magazine, in a spread called "29 All-Star Hairstyles: Modeled by Celebrities and Their Sisters." Shelley appeared with her youngest sister, Babe, in the spread sporting the latest hairstyles. (For more, check out: Shelley and Babe) One hairstyle Shelley sported was the "Breezy" look. Shorter hair for women was the height of chic during the early 1980s and that included the bob cut. Whether slicked-back (ala Zoë Tamerlis in Angel of Vengeance) or tousled (ala early Madonna) or smother (ala Molly Ringwald), the bob was a popular look. Shelley wore various lengths and versions of the bob throughout the 1980s, and was, of course, was always very chic.

Shelley first became famous in the 1970s as THE Charlie Girl. In 1976, she was hand-picked to represent the Revlon Charlie brand, as she was the embodiment the brand's ideal – gorgeous, sexy and young. Makeup artist Rick Gillette recalls, "Shelley Hack was really the perfect girl for Charlie." In 1977, she appeared in a newspaper ad for Charlie called  "Here's looking at you... with 'Charlie's Show-Case' dividend." It was a promo that offered the Charlie's Show-Case, a fashionable mirrored boutique box/case that contained 3 shades of Charlie's dazzling eye shadows, Charlie's crème blush, Charlie's frosted lip gloss, Charlie's Fresh New Makeup, and 3/4 oz. of Charlie's purse perfume. It was available for just $6 with any $5 or more purchase from the Charlie Collection by Revlon. Now wasn't that a great Charlie purchase.

Comedy Is Difficult

for the TV movie Found Money, 1983

Shelley appeared alongside comedy legends Dick Van Dyke and Sid Caesar in the 1983 TV movie Found Money. Shelley found both Dick Van Dyke and Sid Caesar "very generous to work with" but had to keep up with the their pace. "You had to work so fast, because everything was left loose," she told TV Guide. "I felt like I kind of jumped on a moving train," she added. "Shelley," Van Dyke said, "is a trained actress. All her background is in drama, whereas I come from the other side. So everything I do is comedy. I find drama very hard to do. Shelley finds comedy difficult to do." To which Shelley half-seriously and half-jokingly replied, "I don't think you find it (drama) difficult. I think you find it different. Besides, I saw lots of drama in the motor coach this morning." The chemistry between the two was evident. Shelley later guest-starred in the Dick Van Dyke series Diagnosis Murder, in the 1997 episode "Looks Can Kill."

Last April 6,2026, Charlie's Angels 50th Anniversary was celebrated at PaleyFest LA 2026. The event was held in Hollywood, California. Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd appeared in front of a packed crowd at the Dolby Theatre... in a Q&A session moderated by KABC-TV entertainment reporter George Pennacchio. Kate, Jaclyn and Cheryl shared their stories about the show's inception and legacy, their favorite moments and memories. The event, which publicity exec Jay Schwartz helped organize with PaleyFest, was a resounding success and started with a highlight reel from the series which featured Kate, Jaclyn and Cheryl, as well as Farrah Fawcett, Tanya Roberts and Shelley Hack, to the delight of the audience. The momentous event was a big highlight at PaleyFest LA 2026... it was just a shame that Shelley Hack, the other living Angel, was not in attendance. Not that seeing Kate, Jaclyn and Cheryl together again after all these years wasn't awesome already... but it would have been phenomenal of Shelley was also there, sharing her stories and her memories. What a mind-blowing event that would have been for fans.

Here's hoping Paley Honors Spring Gala would consider inviting Shelley and that Shelley would accept their invitation. Praying this would happen 🙏🙏🙏 Shelley Hack fans would be beyond thrilled and over the moon to see her there with Kate, Jaclyn and Cheryl. Plus, it would be a rare event in Charlie's Angels history 😍

Charlie's 5th Angel

a promo pic of Shelley from 1979

When Shelley became Charlie's Angel no. 5 in 1979, she instantly became the hottest news item. Everyone wanted to get to know THE Charlie Girl who was now a Charlie's Angel. Of course, as THE Charlie perfume Girl, she already had a lot of fans - everyone loved her in those Revlon Charlie commercials and print ads. But now that she was an Angel, everyone wanted to get to know her even more. Shelley was cast as Tiffany Welles, the daughter of Charles Townsend's good friend, a police chief in Boston, and a Latin teacher. Tiff graduated from the Boston Police Academy with top marks and worked at the Boston Police Department before joining the Townsend Agency. She  took over from Kate Jackson's Sabrina Duncan at the agency as Charlie's Angel no. 5.

Shorter hair for women was the height of chic during the early 1980s, so for women who wanted to keep their locks long, an updo was one option. Gibsons and chignons became popular as well as French twists. Shelley's "Classic Upsweep" was a variation on the French twist, a pulled-back updo hairstyle with a French seam up the back from the nape. The top was brushed back and angled toward the crown for height. Shelley, as always, was at the height of chic.

In 1993, Shelley attended the 45th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards with her husband, director Harry Winer. She was such a standout, she was featured in Janet Charlton's column "Star People" which regularly appeared in the celebrity tabloid Star. Janet Charlton is a celebrity gossip columnist who writes about the latest news and goings-on in the lives of the celebrity luminaries. Shelley was spotted at the awards ceremony with her husband Harry Winer (not "Weiner" as it was spelled in the column) and was deemed divine-looking in her black velvet evening skirt suit. Her skirt suit had gold filigree details on the collar, edges and cuffs of the jacket as well as gold details at the hem of the skirt. Gold filigree earrings, a black evening purse with gold filigree details and black evening pumps finished her look. And Shelley was one divine-looking Hollywood star indeed.

celebrating Charlie's Angels 50th Anniversary

2026 marks the 50th anniversary of Charlie's Angels TOS (The Original Series). It took a lot of convincing from executive producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg to get the pilot made and for it to be aired on the ABC network in March 21, 1976. It was such an instant hit that it baffled everyone at the network; so the pilot was re-aired and got the same reception. It was then given the green light to continue as a series - and what a phenomenal series it was. It ran from September 22, 1976 to June 24, 1981 - for five fabulous seasons. Initially, it starred three gorgeous actresses as the Angels... Kate Jackson as the smart no-nonsense Sabrina Duncan, Farrah Fawcett as the sporty California girl Jill Munroe, and Jaclyn Smith as the sultry and mysterious Kelly Garrett. But as the series progressed, three more gorgeous Angels joined the series... Cheryl Ladd as the cute and sexy girl-next-door Kris Munroe, Shelley Hack as the classy intellectual Tiffany Welles, and Tanya Roberts as the street-smart tigress Julie Rogers. All the Angels were  bright, independent, and absolutely beautiful.

Kate, Jaclyn and Cheryl will also be recognized at the Paley Honors Spring Gala which will be held at The Plaza hotel in New York City on May 14, 2026. Maybe Shelley, who now resides in Connecticut, can attend the event this time, as she is now much closer to the venue. Here's hoping Paley Honors Spring Gala would consider inviting Shelley and that Shelley would accept their invitation. Praying this would happen 🙏🙏🙏 Shelley Hack fans would be beyond thrilled and over the moon to see her there with Kate, Jaclyn and Cheryl. Plus, it would be a rare event in Charlie's Angels history 😍 

Kicks in 1985

Shelley was one busy actress in the 1980s. She appeared in various stage and screen (big and small) productions. In 1985, she appeared in the TV movie Kicks with soap superstar Anthony Geary. The movie was about a San Francisco college teacher, Maggie (Shelley), who had a penchant for living on the edge and engaging in dangerous, life-threatening activities. She meets her match in mysterious millionaire Martin Cheevers (Geary) who takes her on a ride of her life - from one dangerous thrill to another. Eventually, the thrill becomes too dangerous and Maggie finds herself in peril. Tom Mason played Caleb, Maggie's boyfriend; and his chemistry with Shelley was so evident that it wasn't surprising he was cast as Mike Brennan, Jackie's husband, in Shelley's TV series Jack and Mike a year later.

All-Star Hairstyles B

Shelley sporting the "Casual Chic" look

for Good Housekeeping magazine,

August 1983

By August 1983, Shelley had become an established Hollywood star. She had received critical praise for her work on stage and had a Martin Scorsese film under her belt (where she worked opposite Robert De Niro). She had also finished a couple of TV movies with respected Hollywood veterans George Segal and Dick Van Dyke. Her latest TV series was to premiere that October. So Shelley would regularly appear on magazines and newspapers at the time. In August 1983, she appeared on the pages of Good Housekeeping magazine, in a spread called "29 All-Star Hairstyles: Modeled by Celebrities and Their Sisters." Shelley appeared with her youngest sister, Babe, in the spread sporting the latest hairstyles. (For more, check out: Shelley and Babe) One hairstyle Shelley sported was the "Casual Chic." Shorter hair for women was the height of chic during the early 1980s and that included the bob cut. Whether slicked-back (ala Zoë Tamerlis in Angel of Vengeance) or tousled (ala early Madonna) or smother (ala Molly Ringwald), the bob was a popular look. Shelley wore various lengths and versions of the bob throughout the 1980s, and was, of course, was always very chic.
