in a spread on Seventeen magazine,

October 1967

Shelley appeared on many issues of Seventeen magazine from 1964 to the 1970s. In 1967, she appeared in the magazine's October issue, in a spread called "Three Times White, Icing White," which featured three white as icing dresses adorned with slices of cool blue. She modeled an empire-waisted dress with a cool blue bodice and a white skirt by Misty Lane. The square-necked bodice had a tucked fabric design and had puffed sleeves. A sash transitioned the bodice to an above-the-knee skirt. She finished her look with matching white stockings by Adler and cool blue footwear by Sbicca. Earrings by Freirich accessorized her look. And Shelley looked white hot.

Shelley joined the cast of Charlie's Angels in 1979, taking over the slot vacated by Kate Jackson. Shelley was already one of the highest-paid Supermodels in the modeling industry at the time, and she was trying her luck in Hollywood. Prior to joining the cast of Charlie's Angels, Shelley had appeared in a number of productions, both for the big and small screens. Her first big screen appearance was in the 1977 Academy-Award-winning Woody Allen film Annie Hall where she had a short (but definitely very memorable) cameo appearance. In 1978, she auditioned for and got her first big screen leading lady role in the movie If Ever I See You Again. In 1979, she guest-starred in the short-lived series Married: The First Year, had a voice-over role in the Nicholas Meyer movie Time After Time (she turned down the lead role which went to Mary Steenburgen), and played the lead role in the TV movie Death Car on the Freeway. She was definitely on her way to Hollywood stardom.

a writeup about Shelley joining

the cast of Charlie's Angels, 1979

In 1979, Shelley was cast as Tiffany Welles in Charlie's Angels, joining incumbent Angels Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd, and overnight she became one of Hollywood's newest superstars. Her face appeared on every magazine in the world and her casting was even mentioned in the evening news. "I couldn't believe it. What was I doing in the evening news?" Shelley exclaimed at the time. In St. Thomas, at the Caribbean, where her first Charlie's Angels episode "Love Boat Angels" was to be shot, she described, surprised, "When I got off the plane, there were maybe eight million paparazzi. I looked around for Sophia Loren. It was for me. I couldn't believe it." And when it finally aired, Shelley's debut episode topped the Nielsen ratings; and she became a bonafide Hollywood star.

Le Cat

from a 1970 ad for Pandora fashions

Shelley was a much sought-after model during her modeling days. She appeared in many print ads, including ads for Pandora. The Pandora Sweater company was founded in 1936. By the 1970s, it was an established clothing company catering to young misses. In 1970, Shelley appeared in an ad for the brand with the tagline "It's Pandora 'Get Together' Time," which showcased Pandora's nouveau plaid play-togethers that could be worn over Pandora's own "Le Cat" body stocking - in other words, the brand's latest collection in plaid that could be worn over their latest body stocking line. In the ad, Shelley wore the "Le Cat" in solo with its matching skull cap. She was surrounded by other teen superstar models Lucy Angle, Colleen Corby, Terry Reno, and Kay Campbell. And Shelley looked absolutely fab.

Me, Myself and I, 1992

Shelley starred alongside JoBeth Williams and George Segal in the 1992 comedy Me, Myself & I. JoBeth Williams played Diane, a woman living in a New York apartment building suffering from paranoia and nymphomania. She has two personalities the growling, howling "Crazy Diane" and the normal, level-headed "Sane Diane" - and they're constantly arguing and bickering. Her next-door neighbor, Hollywood TV-writer Buddy Arnett (George Segal) is "Crazy Diane's" peeve; he's constantly the subject of her commentaries on sex, violence and invisible persecutors. But when "Crazy Diane" manages to seduce Buddy, "Sane Diane" takes over and the two fall in love. But Buddy's estranged lesbian wife, Hollywood superstar Jennifer (Shelley Hack), reappears in Buddy's life and comes over from California, which rattles "Sane Diane" and so "Crazy Diane" makes a comeback. Don Calfa, Betsy Lynn George, Bill Macy and Sharon McNight round out the rest of the cast.

Me, Myself & I, 1992

The movie was the directorial debut of Cuban-American visual designer Pablo Ferro. Ferro came into film titles from being a director-editor of television commercials. He designed the title sequence of Stanley Kubrick's 1964 doomsday film Dr. Strangelove. In 1968, Ferro also designed the title sequence for The Thomas Crown Affair, as well as reduced a key sequence in the film (from six minutes to around forty seconds) in order to speed up the narrative. He later acted as supervising editor for Michael Jackson’s 1983 music video "Beat it." Ferro has experimented and developed various techniques that are still being used to this day. He began shooting Me, Myself & I in October of 1991 and completed the film in December of that same year.

Me, Myself & I, 1992

The movie is quite a fun ride. JoBeth Williams' Diane is a kooky character prone to paranoid outbursts and hilarious guttural sounds that she can't seem to control. George Segal is amusing as Buddy, an everyman who finds himself in love with a woman with multiple personalities and is trying to make sense of what he has gotten himself into... aside from trying to get over his marriage to a wife who clearly prefers the same sex. Shelley Hack is funny as the narcissistic Hollywood star Jennifer, who will do anything to get what she wants (her reactions to Diane's growls are hilarious). The chemistry between the three main characters is terrific. The scene where the two women finally meet and all three main characters come together is hysterical. There is a comfortable rapport between JoBeth and George; and a comfortable rapport between Shelley and George as well (They were co-stars in the TV movie Trackdown: Finding the Goodbar Killer in 1983). Me, Myself & I was released in the United States in May of 1992; and it was screened at the Cannes Film Festival that same year. The movie was released in VHS format in 1993.

Charlie's Surprise Bag 3

for Charlie perfume, 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 called "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, Shelley appeared in the ad, Charlie gorgeous as ever.

Music from Kicks

Shelley appeared in the TV movie Kicks in 1985, starring alongside soap superstar Anthony Geary. She played Maggie Pierson, a college professor addicted to, sort of, the thrill of the chase or, as the title says, kicks. She meets her match in Martin Cheevers (Geary), a wealthy businessman with a mysterious past. But their thrills gradually turn into chills as Cheevers ups the anti as they go along. Maggie goes along for the ride for as long as she could and they end up in Alcatraz. How far would she really go for mere kicks? Watch it and find out.
