"Cruising 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"). For the episode "Cruising Angels," Shelley went through five outfit changes. For her first scene, she wore a V-neck blouse with long sleeves and slightly padded shoulders (in blue with black horizontal pinstripes) over a black below-the-knee skirt with a back slit. A thick black belt and pair of high-heeled footwear with ankle straps finished her look. She next wore a purple hoodie (with stripes around the stomach and arms that had "RUN" written along the stripes) over a pair of purple jeans. She finished her look with a pair of beige low-heeled wedge sandals and accessorized her look with some purple hair clips. She next wore a white shirt over a pair of white jeans and topped them off with a black boat-neck sweater. She finished her look with a pair of beige low-heeled wedge sandals. She next wore a maroon-colored knitted top (with slightly puffed sleeves and shoulder details) over a pair of red jeans. She finished her look with a thin red belt (with a gold buckle) and a pair of red high-heeled sandals. For the epilogue, she wore a black blazer-style blouse (with an asymmetric collar flap, red buttons and red piping) over a black below-the-knee pencil-cut skirt. A pair of black high-heeled footwear with ankle straps finished her look.

She's Got It

Shelley with Joseph Brooks in a pub still

for If Ever See You Again, 1978

In 1978, Shelley got her first leading lady role in the film If Ever I See You Again. Shelley was cast in the role of Jennifer Corly, the main protagonist's love interest. The producer and leading man of the film, Joseph Brooks, told one reporter, during the audition process, "I saw scores of girls on the East Coast, the West Coast and points in between - and SHE walked in. I know that sounds overly dramatic. But when (Shelley) walked into the room, I turned to my assistant and said, 'She's got it! She's got the part.'" Shelley's side of the story, "I was amazed at how quickly Joe made up his mind. I didn't read for the part or take a screen test. I walked in and he told the other people in the room that I was the girl he was looking for." The film didn't do so well at the box office; but the title song "If Ever I See You Again" as interpreted by Roberta Flack reached #24 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The film was released worldwide including in Japan, where the film's original soundtrack and a souvenir program were produced.

Shelley appeared on many ads in the 1970s. In 1977, she appeared in an ad for "The Good Wools."

Interested parties could order the featured dress by landline (the number was included in the ad). In the ad, Shelley wore a "ladylook" dress. In soft, pure wool, the dress barely skimmed the body.

And Shelley was so chic and stunning in the ad... everyone would have purchased the Soft and Gentle Jersey dress immediately.

Pack-It All

perfume and cosmetics, 1977 and 1978

Shelley was THE quintessential Charlie Girl and appeared in many, many ads for the brand. In 1978, she appeared in a newspaper ad for Charlie that posed the question "What pack-it all tote folds up to pack flat and comes with a sexy young fragrance?" The answer was "Charlie's Surprise Bag." It was a promo that offered a tote bag that folded up small to pack flat in any suitcase... then opened up big to hold anything from beach gear to vacation souvenirs. It was a dividend for just $6.75 with any $5.00 or more purchase from the Charlie Collection by Revlon. And with the tote came 2 bars of Charlie Fragrant Body Silk Soap, a container of Charlie Body Silk Perfumed Powder and a bottle of concentrated Charlie Perfume Spray. Now wasn't that a great surprise? And of course, an artwork of Shelley appeared in the ad, Charlie gorgeous as ever.

Hot New Actress

Shelley in a promo pic from 1978

Shelley was one of the hottest new actresses on the scene in 1978. By that time, she was already a highly-paid Supermodel and was recognized by everyone as The Charlie Girl. She was currently transitioning from modeling to acting. The year before, she had done a cameo in the Academy Award winning film Annie Hall where she appeared in a scene with no other than director/star Woody Allen himself. By then, she was also being considered by long-time James Bond films producer Cubby Broccoli to play Bond girl in the latest Bond installment Moonraker. And she was currently, a first time leading-lady in the film If Ever I See You Again. The hot and busy model-turned-actress was in L.A. doing the talk shows to promote the film.

Matching white hose and footwear finished her look. A pink ribboned ponytail and a gold O-ring chain belt accessorized her look. And Shelley looked fabulous and definitely up-to-the-minute.

"Jill Schoelen is a very nice girl," she said of her onscreen daughter. As for her filming experience, Shelley said, "It was fun. It was a very nice experience."

She was THE Charlie Girl

Shelley in promo pics for Charlie

perfume and cosmetics, 1977

Shelley first became famous as THE Charlie Girl in 1976. Hand-picked to represent the Revlon brand, she was the embodiment the brand's new ideal woman – gorgeous, sexy, young and independent. Many of the Charlie ad campaigns and commercials involved Shelley's then boyfriend, photographer Steen Svensson, as well as renowned hair stylist and makeup artist Rick Gillette. According to Rick, "Shelley Hack was really the perfect girl for Charlie. I remember when Revlon creative director David Leddick had Steen Svensson shoot the first presentation with her that got her the contract." In 2017, in The Real Mad Men of Advertising docu-series, Shelley said of her Charlie Girl persona, "Here was an idea who this new woman could be." She added, "She looked like she was having fun; but she was independent." Shelley was THE Charlie Girl from 1976 to 1982 and appeared in a multitude of ad campaigns and commercials for the brand. Rick said, "I can't tell you how many of these ads we shot for Revlon from Central Park to San Francisco and Paris the list grew and grew for years." In 2008, Shelley told Oprah Winfrey about how being THE Charlie Girl changed her life. Shelley said, "I think it made me very visible. And it made me feel like I'd really, really gotten incredibly lucky. And I was, you know, lucky because there were two things I was in [the other being Charlie's Angels] where it's about women being a little bit more empowered. So that made me later in my life go out and work for just that."

A Mini Biography of Ms. Shelley Hack

Shelley Marie Hack was born on July 6, 1947 in White Plains, New York, and was raised in 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 was discovered by A&P heir Huntington Hartford who urged her to try modeling. So her mom took her to see model agent Eileen Ford and she began to model part-time, during her summer breaks. Subsequently, after graduating from Smith, she signed on full-time at Ford Models Inc., and became one of the top models in the United States. In 1976, she jumped to Supermodel status when she began endorsing Revlon Charlie perfume, cosmetics and various beauty products. She was one of first batch of models who were able to negotiate previously unheard of, lucrative and exclusive million-dollar deals with giant cosmetics companies. The worldwide popularity she gained as THE Charlie Girl brought her to the attention of Hollywood. Woody Allen cast her in a bit part in his 1977 Academy Award-winning movie Annie Hall. She got her first leading lady role in the film If Ever I See You Again and went on to star in various big and small screen projects. In 1979, Aaron Spelling cast her in his hit series Charlie's Angels and she rose to Hollywood superstardom overnight. Although she left after one season, the publicity she gained from the series kept her in the public eye in the 1980s. Shelley then tackled stage via plays like Vanities (1981), Born Yesterday (1982), and Close Ties (1983), and was critically praised for her efforts. 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 (1986-87). She married director Harry Winer 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 internationally in pre- and post-conflict countries. She would go into war-torn countries and help them establish democracy through media. She began in Bosnia, producing their first-ever televised presidential debates. She became a member of the Pacific Council on International Policy (PCIP) whose mission was to give a more effective voice to West Coast perspectives on critical global policy issues. She worked extensively in Eastern Europe and Western Asia and traveled all over the world. She also spent two years working with the largest media conglomerate in Eastern Europe helping to develop and build the infrastructure for a new state of the art film studio complex in the region. After ten years of doing that, Shelley settled down in California, and in 2010, she and her husband formed Smash Media Productions where she acts as co-president. Through Smash Media, she has produced documentaries like Citizen of the World (2010) and Maharajah of the Road (2012), feature films like The Expatriate/Erased (2012) and The Doorman (2020) and several movies for the Hallmark Channel such as Lucky Christmas (2011), Perfect Match (2015), A Bramble House Christmas (2017), Falling for You (2018), Holiday Hearts (2019), Autumn in the City (2022), and Long Lost Christmas (2022). On her own, she has produced Summer of Dreams (2017) and Christmas in Evergreen (2017), also for Hallmark. In 2021, Shelley and Harry sold their house in Santa Monica and moved east (to Connecticut) to probably be in closer proximity to Shelley's mom Pat (who passed away in May of 2025 at 105) and their daughter Devon who is now married (to Kelvin Chan in 2022) and based in New York. In 2024, Shelley served as a producer for Spin Master Entertainment, which co-produces animated children's content with Smash Media; and her most notable project with Spin Master is the hit Netflix animated series Unicorn Academy.

"Angels on Campus"

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"). Due to the request of the retained cast members for more time off, "solo" episodes were produced. These episodes focused on just one Angel, with the other Angels playing support, popping up here and there throughout the entire episode. Each Angel had three of these "solo" episodes, including guest Angel Farrah.

"Angels on Campus"

Shelley's first "solo" episode was "Angels on Campus." And, like Farrah, Shelley went through eight outfit changes throughout the episode. For her first scene, she wore a red long-sleeved blouse (with a band collar and padded shoulders) over a pair of fitted beige slacks (with pleats). A thin burgundy-colored woven belt with gold clasps finished her look. Gold earrings accessorized her look. She next wore a red wrap dress (with a jacket collar and matching sash belt) and topped it off with a black blazer with red piping around the collar, down the front, and at the pocket openings. A gold necklace and gold bracelet accessorized her look. For the next scene, she wore the same dress sans the blazer. She next wore a white turtleneck sweater (with a chunky neckline) over a pair of black jeans and topped it off with a blue suede jacket. She finished her look with a pair of black high-heeled sandals with ankle straps. For the next scene, she wore the same outfit sans the jacket. She next wore a blue Kappa Omega Psi T-shirt over a pair of blue jeans with the hems folded above the ankles. She finished her look with a pair of blue sneakers (with white laces) and a beige nylon belt. A beige nylon rubber band on her hair and a whistle with a beige neck cord accessorized her look. She next wore (in Charlie's Angels tradition) a white towel. She next wore a long-sleeved plaid shirt over a pair of maroon slacks and topped it off with a matching maroon-colored sweater. She finished her look with a pair of maroon-colored high-heeled sandals. A gray leather shoulder bag with tan leather details accessorized her look. She next wore a white boat-neck see-thru dress with floral details (with elbow-length sleeves, a pleated skirt and a self-tie belt) over a white slip dress. A gold necklace accessorized her look. For the epilogue, she wore an aquamarine dress with a high collar and long puffed sleeves. Gold earrings accessorized her look.

Beery and Bagg-a-loons

from a 1972 Ms. Lee ad

Shelley appeared on many ads during her Supermodel tenure. One of them was for Ms. Lee. The Lee Company, a popular American denim jeans brand, came up with a label catering to women. The label catered to the women’s market and was a tribute to women. Ms. Lee was tailor-made for women, in fit and in style. In 1972, Shelley appeared in a Ms. Lee ad that announced "It's Ms. Lee All Over" where she wore a top-to-bottom Ms. Lee outfit. She wore a Wallace-Beery-inspired body knit suit (which featured elbow and shoulder gun patches) over a pair of baggy pants, Bagg-a-loons (which were tighter on top and flared at the bottom), with cuffed hems. A pair of two-toned casual lace-up footwear and a pair of matching belts finished her look. A ribbed aviator skull cap with extended ear flaps and a scarf around her neck accessorized her look. And Shelley looked Beery good indeed.

1980s Star

from a 1980s promo pic

Shelley became an overnight Hollywood Superstar in 1979 when she joined the cast of the hit series Charlie's Angels. She was thrust into the spotlight immediately after she was named Charlie's newest Angel and was hounded by reporters. "I had press people crawling in my windows," she said of the experience. The star said, "I was totally unprepared for the press 'bonanza' that followed." Shelley stayed with the series for a year and later said, "I did my year and I moved on." She added, "That was just fine. That was plenty for me." By the 1980s, Shelley was one of stars active in the Hollywood scene. She had earned the praise of very surprised critics via the stage plays Vanities, Close Ties and Born Yesterday. She had starred in the Martin Scorsese film The King of Comedy opposite Robert de Niro and the soon-to-be cult classic The Stepfather opposite Terry O'Quinn, and received critical praise as well. She had starred in two TV series Cutter to Houston and Jack and Mike, which didn't last long but received praise from critics as well. She was one of Hollywood's most glamorous but underrated stars.
