We Have Turbulence

Frequent Flyer

[TV movie]
(Mar 10, 1996)
DramaDirected by Alan Metzger
Written by D. Victor Hawkins, Tom Nelson

Cast:

Jack Wagner...........Nick Rawlings
Shelley Hack..........JoBeth Rawlings
Nicole Eggert..........Miriam Rawlings
Joan Severance......Alison Rawlings
Kalen Mills..............Eric
Elizabeth Ruscio.....Pat

Plot:

Nick Rawlings, an airline pilot, is married to JoBeth, an antiques store owner, to Allison, a business executive, and is a marrying a young blonde named Miriam. As Nick and JoBeth’s anniversary nears, JoBeth discovers a receipt for a $9000 purchase that Nick made. Excited, she looks forward to her anniversary gift but becomes suspicious when it turns out to be a picture frame. Upon investigating, she finds out that the purchase was for an engagement ring (for Miriam). As Nick’s polygamous habit becomes clear to JoBeth, she exacts a revenge on her husband that makes sure she comes out at a financial advantage. As the women discover each other, Nick is left with nothing in the end.

Comments:

Frequent Flyer was released in 1996 and Shelley Hack, at 49, looked damn good. Plus, acting-wise she had come a very long way from her Angels days.

Shelley paints JoBeth as a loving sweet tender wife and mother who is quick enough to use her head when she find out that her husband is cheating on her. After crying it out, she gets everything together to save whatever she can for her and her son. Shelley’s restrained performance was very moving. It’s also not a surprise that Shelley would consider playing JoBeth since the character was an astute, level-headed and practical woman who would do anything to insure the future of both her and her son whom she dearly loves.

It was interesting to see the scenes between Shelley and Joan Severance, two women who were supermodels at their time. Representing two consecutive eras of style, beauty and fashion, the women show us their effortless class and poise.

The film has been released on DVD but I’m very disappointed at the cover that was used. Although Shelley’s name is printed on the top portion, her image doesn’t appear. A side view picture of her is on the back. Shelley’s JoBeth is a primary character in the film so she must appear on the cover. I made my own version (the one on the right.)

Charlie 1981

Here are captures from a Charlie commercial Shelley Hack did in 1981. It starts with her coming out of her apartment in New York, spritzing on her Charlie and then magically appearing in the streets of London. The commercial ends with her in a tux walking the streets of London and receiving flowers from an admirer.

Taking Back My Life

In 1992, Shelley co-starred in the TV movie Taking Back My Life: The Nancy Ziegenmeyer Story. It was directed by her husband Harry Winer. It seems like she donned a brunette wig with bangs giving her a totally different look.

Charlie 2010

I always dreamed of Shelley Hack returning to modeling. And what better vehicle for her than via Revlon Charlie and a Charlie perfume ad. But this time, as a more mature woman, it would be great for her to have her own line. I would call it Charlie Forever because, let's face it, Shelley Hack as the Charlie girl is forever.

Cutter to Houston

Cutter to Houston joins the 1983 fall series line up of for CBS. It starred Shelley Hack alongside Jim Metzler, who received a Golden Globe nomination for his supporting role in the 1982 film Tex, and an unknown named Alec Baldwin. The series short run was from October 1, 1983 to December 31, 1983. I guess sleeper hits were still unheard of at the time.

Pop Culture Angels

I just saw the TVLand Awards where Charlie’s Angels was honored with the Pop Culture Award. Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd were there to accept the award for The show. Thank you very much to charliesangels.com for the pictures (visit the site for more pics).

I'm so glad that Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts are finally getting recognized as truly a part of the Angels history and its phenomenon. YES, people do remember and love them both too. I was so happy that they were part of the Angels montage and were counted by Pam Anderson as part of the MAGIC SIX angels that sparkled on television. And yes, it's true that each and every angel had brought their own special touch to the show and each has their own following to this very day. I love Jaclyn Smith for mentioning the part of the Angels family that have passed away, but more so for mentioning the absent living members of the cast which are Kate Jackson, Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts. Charlie's Angels is a true pop culture phenomenon in every sense of the word.
