The Angels and the Racer 11
Charlie's Body-and-Soul
Shelley was THE quintessential Charlie Girl and appeared in many, many ads for the brand. She was Revlon Charlie's image model from 1976 to 1982. Charlie was one of the first mega-successful lifestyle brands in the world. The phenomenal success of the brand was due in part to Shelley's unforgettable image. In 1976, an artwork of Shelley appeared in a newspaper ad for Charlie promoting "Charlie's Body-and-Soul Set." It was a promo for a gift set that contained Charlie More Moisture Moisturizer, Charlie Bath Soap, Charlie Body Silk, and Charlie Concentrated Perfume Spray. The Charlie Body-and-Soul Set (worth $19.75) could be purchased for only $4.75 for any purchase of $5.00 or more from the Charlie Collection. It as also a promo for Charlie's irritant-free and dermatologist-tested makeup line - "Makeup That Gives You Just What You Want, Just The Way You Want It..." And whether in pictures or in artwork, Charlie Girl Shelley was always Charlie-Girl gorgeous.
Filming Angels on Campus
In 1979, Shelley was proclaimed Charlie's newest Angel. She became a Hollywood superstar virtually overnight and her face appeared on magazines and newspapers around the world. As with the Angels before her, her sudden rise to superstardom resulted in constant media attention. The paparazzi, as well as Angels fans who were present, took pictures of her and her fellow Angels during the filming of many of the episodes. Due to the request of Shelley's fellow Angels Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd for more time off, solo episodes were produced during the 4th season of the series. Shelley's first solo episode was "Angels on Campus" which was partially filmed at the University of Southern California (USC). Richard DuVal recently posted candid pics of Shelley during the filming of "Angels on Campus" at USC. He was on his first year at the university and had taken pics of Shelley at the time... some of which he posted this June on his FB page. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for posting these super rare pics, Richard DuVal. We, the fans of Shelley, LOOOOOOOOVE them.
Chic and Up-To-The-Minute
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. In 1972, Shelley appeared on the pages of Woman's Day Knitting Book Number 14. The book was a part of the Woman's Day Service Series, a line of special-interest booklets and mags released by Woman's Day magazine. It contained various knitting patterns and projects as well as knitting ideas and techniques. In one spread, Shelley wore a turtleneck long-sleeved sweater with cable knit details at the V-shaped yoke as well as the self-tie belt. She wore it over a simple pair of light-colored slacks. And Shelley looked chic and up-to-the-minute.

Angels Wardrobe 5
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 "Fallen Angel," Shelley went through five outfit changes. For her first scene, she wore a red long-sleeved wrap-style shirt dress with a jacket collar. She finished her look with a thin beige and gold belt and neutral colored open-toe high-heeled sandals. She next wore an all white band-collared blouse and slacks combo topped with a gray blazer in a textured fabric. She finished her look with a thin tan belt and neutral colored open-toe high-heeled sandals. She accessorized her look with a matching pocket square. She next wore a gray and white vertical striped man's shirt over a pair of light khaki jeans and topped it off with a tan-colored vest. She finished her look with a light khaki woven belt and accessorized it with a simple gold necklace. She next wore a white long-sleeved tuxedo dress with side slits. She finished her look with a thin burgundy-colored leather belt and neutral colored open-toe high-heeled sandals. For the epilogue, she wore a cap-sleeved, V-neck formal jumpsuit in electric blue. She finished her look with a red sash and gold high-heeled evening footwear. A simple gold necklace, a gold ring and gold earrings accessorized her look.
Single in the 1980s
Shelley starred in the TV movie Single Bars, Single Women in 1984. Shelley starred as Frankie, a truck-stop waitress looking to move on from her former flame Gabe (Paul Michael Glaser). The film explored the bar scene as seen in the eyes of women. It was a time when gender roles were evolving and the rules of dating were changing... fast. No longer in need of escorts and chaperones, women could now go bar-hopping alone to meet the men they wanted to meet. Women were becoming more confident in going out on their own and looking for love and companionship. Tony Danza, Keith Gordon, Christine Lahti, Mare Winningham and Kathleen Wilhoite completed the cast. It was directed by Shelley's future hubby Harry Winer.
The Month's Hairdo
Shelley was one of the models who regularly appeared on the pages of Seventeen magazine since the beginning of her modeling career. In fact, one of her first covers was for the November 1964 issue of the mag. On December of that same year, she appeared on several spreads that featured the fashion and makeup looks for that holiday season. She also sported the magazine's "Hairdo of the Month" and was featured in the column that described it and taught readers how to achieve it - The Cut, The Set and The Comb-Out. The softly curving bob style brushed easily into place and was guaranteed to stay that way all evening... thanks to its one-length cut and sleek lines. It was designed by Mr. Guy of Guy La Mar Coiffeurs, New York. The barrette was by Therese Ahrens. And Shelley was downright chic in that month's coveted hairdo, not to mention gorgeous.
