Angels Wardrobe 18

from the Charlie's Angels episode
"Dancin' 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 "Dancin' Angels," Shelley went through just two outfit changes. For her first scene, she wore a blouse and skirt ensemble made up of a loose casual red blouse (with black details down the front and at the end of the 3/4 long sleeves) and a black pencil skirt (with red details at the hem). A pair of red high-heeled sandals finished her look. Gold earrings and a gold necklace accessorized her look. For the rest of the episode, she wore a stunning gold lamé evening gown. It had an empire seam hater top, a mermaid skirt and was backless. Straps held the halter top up, went around the neck and crisscrossed at the back. She finished her look with a pair of gold high-heeled evening sandals and a gold evening clutch. She accessorized her look with gold earrings, a gold bracelet with clear gemstones, a gold pinky ring and a gold and silver butterfly brooch pinned to the neckline of her gown. She wore a gray fur stole with her gown early in the episode.

Happily Married Couple

for Jack and Mike, 1986

Shelley Hack's third TV series was Jack and Mike. It aired from 1986 to 1987 right after the hit series Moonlighting. The two shows were promoted together, like a package. But while Moonlighting was about a bickering "will-they-or-won't-they" couple, Jack and Mike was about a happily married couple trying to find time to be together amidst their busy schedules. The show explored the life of journalist Jackie Shea (played by Shelley) and restauranteur Mike Brennan (played Tom Mason), a married couple with busy careers trying to make their marriage work. The yuppie phenomenon exploded in the 1980s - and more and more women began entering the workforce, climbing up the corporate ladder and holding positions previously held exclusively by men in past generations. This change affected the relationship dynamic of couples at the time as married women were no longer relegated to just being at home... finding a good balance between work life and home life was the ultimate goal. Men too were making adjustments to the new normal... coming to terms with the problems that came with the change as well as realizing the benefits it brought to a marriage.

on Woman's Day magazine,
October 1973

Shelley appeared on many issues of what was known as the Seven Sisters group of magazines. The Seven Sisters magazines were Woman's Day, Redbook, McCall's, Ladies' Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, Family Circle and Better Homes and Gardens. They all catered to married women with children rather than single working women. The magazines featured homemaking and crafts, food and nutrition, health and fitness, beauty and fashion advice and articles. Shelley appeared in the October 1973 issue of Woman's Day magazine, in a spread called "Making the Most of Quality Classics." It featured classic wardrobe pieces that could be worn in a couple of different ways. Shelley wore a pantsuit (by Patti Cappalli for Addenda) sans the matching jacket with a white turtleneck top (by Rosanna) and topped it off with a knitted blazer (by Queen Casuals). She finished her look with a smart envelope bag and black wedge footwear. A mohair beret as well as a chunky necklace and bracelet set accessorized her look. And Shelley looked chic and classic.

2026 marks the 50th anniversary of Charlie's Angels TOS (The Original Series). The series was one of the biggest (if not the biggest) and most successful TV series that came out of the 1970s. It has been aired and re-aired all around the world for the past 50 years. 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.

Other cast members included David Doyle as John Bosley, Charlie's associate and the Angels' link to Charlie... and John Forsythe as the voice of Charles "Charlie" Townsend himself, the Angels' and Bosley's big boss (who was not credited for his role to add mystery to the character). The pilot included David Ogden Stiers as Scott Woodville, the Angels' facilitator and chief backup as well as Bosley's superior (but the character was dropped after the pilot episode to play up the self-reliance and sisterhood of the Angels during the planning and execution of their missions). A couple of recurring characters were Michael Bell as Bill Duncan, Sabrina's policeman ex-husband in season 1... and Soon-tek Oh as Lieutenant Torres of the Oahu Police Department in season 5. Other notable characters were John Agar as Colonel Blaylock, Sabrina's father who appeared in season 1 (hence, implying that Sabrina's maiden name was Sabrina Blaylock)... and Vic Morrow as Lieutenant Harry Stearns, Julie's mentor in season 5.

Shelley was THE quintessential Charlie Girl and appeared in many, many ads for the brand. In 1979, Shelley appeared in a Charlie newspaper ad promoting "The Charlie Fragrance 6-Pack."

It was available for only $6.00 with any $5.00 purchase from the Charlie Collection.

Shelley was a busy actress in the 1980s. After opting to leave Charlie's Angels in 1980, she went full-time into an acting career. She appeared on stage, TV and in the movies. She immediately tackled stage after Angels via the Jack Heifner play Vanities and gained critical praise for her work.

She starred in feature films like Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy and Joseph Ruben's The Stepfather and got glowing reviews. In the series Cutter to Houston and Jack and Mike, she was praised for acting efforts.

1970s Supermodel

from a spread for Vogue, 1977

When Shelley graduated from Smith College in 1970, she decided to become a model full-time. Represented by the top model management company, Ford Models Inc., she began her transition from teen model to top model... and eventually to Supermodel. Her then boyfriend, photographer Steen Svensson, and make-up artist extraordinaire Rick Gillette came up with test shots of Shelley in the early '70s with the hope that the images could get her on the pages of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar - which eventually happened. She appeared on both the US and international editions of the magazines. According to Rick, "In the early 70’s before "Charlie", before "Charlie’s Angels", Shelley Hack was an ex-teen model looking for a more sophisticated look to get her into Vogue. I was creating a portfolio with the same goal in mind." By the late 1970s, Shelley was a certified Supermodel.

Shelley appeared in the long-running play Tamara from late-1989 to 1990. Tamara is a play by John Krizanc, about the painter Tamara de Lempicka and her historical meeting with Gabriele D'Annunzio at his villa at Gardone Riviera. The play was staged at the Il Vittoriale in Los Angeles. It was unique because it allowed the audience to participate in the play itself. Audience members could follow any cast member as the play went on. Shelley told Beverly Hills [213] in 1990, "I've always done a lot of theater, but with this play, there's no fourth wall as we know it." She stepped into the role of Luisa Baccara. "I was in New York when they offered the play to me," Shelley added. She describes her character as someone "who starts out crazy and gets crazier." She said, "Basically, I get to chew the rug for two hours." (For more, check out: Cover Girl 1990 and "No Fourth Wall" Play)

Other cast members included David Doyle as John Bosley, Charlie's associate and the Angels' link to Charlie... and John Forsythe as the voice of Charles "Charlie" Townsend himself, the Angels' and Bosley's big boss (who was not credited for his role to add mystery to the character). The pilot included David Ogden Stiers as Scott Woodville, the Angels' facilitator and chief backup as well as Bosley's superior (but the character was dropped after the pilot episode to play up the self-reliance and sisterhood of the Angels during the planning and execution of their missions). A couple of recurring characters were Michael Bell as Bill Duncan, Sabrina's policeman ex-husband in season 1... and Soon-tek Oh as Lieutenant Torres of the Oahu Police Department in season 5. Other notable characters were John Agar as Colonel Blaylock, Sabrina's father who appeared in season 1 (hence, implying that Sabrina's maiden name was Sabrina Blaylock)... and Vic Morrow as Lieutenant Harry Stearns, Julie's mentor in season 5.
