Let Her Shine
A Shelley fan comments that she will start watching Charlie's Angels now that Shelley had been added to the cast. She said that Shelley's "beauty and sincerity" was going to "shine through her acting." I couldn't agree more.
On the Cutter Set
On a break on the Cutter to Houston set in 1983, it seems Shelley decided to study her lines. Cutter to Houston was a medical series that used genuine medical terminology. A consultant was permanently on the set to monitor and correct all the medical terms used during filming.
Gentle To Your Wallet Too
Shelley appeared in an ad for Pretty Naturally Hypo-Allergenic Cosmetics in 1971.
They were cosmetics that wasn't just gentle to sensitive skin;
they were gentle to the wallet as well.
they were gentle to the wallet as well.
Fabulous Flying Bird Brooch
Shelley wore a fabulous flying bird brooch in her lapel in a pictorial
for her 1986 TV series Jack and Mike.

Carousel Beauty
Shelley was a fresh beauty when she posed on a carousel for this early-70s fashion pic. Her somber all black ensemble was made more exciting with pops of red and green.
Charlie in Spring
Shelley appeared in newspaper ads promoting Revlon's new spring look for the 1981 season. Revlon's latest innovation "The Rouge" was now available and came in six new shades. Polished Ambers by Revlon had come up with several new blue and yellow based colors for "dark-skinned beauties." And Charlie, also by Revlon, had come up with a new look - packaging, bottle and all. The new look was based on a painting created especially for Charlie by esteemed artist LeRoy Neiman.

Shelley is among the celebrities who have been included in the pinterest.com site Gorgeousness Doesn't End at 40. Her fellow Charlie's Angels Cheryl Ladd and Lucy Liu are also in the list, as well as a number of other showbiz luminaries who have aged gracefully. It's amazing how magazines and media in general have made it seem that gorgeousness is the sole property of the young when gorgeousness is an ageless quality (as proven by 73-year-old Supermodel Carmen Dell'Orefice) Besides, everyone eventually ages anyway, whether they like it or not, so what's all the fuzz about getting a wrinkle? It was never the dress, but the way you wear it, honey. You can be gorgeous at any age, and that's a fact. So youngsters, stop worrying and don't buy into it all. Just like the celebrities in this list, Gorgeousness knows no age.
Jackie and Mike
Shelley played Jackie Shea opposite Tom Mason's Mike Brennan in 1986 series Jack and Mike which was set in Chicago. Jackie, a journalist, was married to Mike, a restaurateur; and the couple struggled to find time for each other amid their busy professional lives.
The Angels' Curse
The TV series Charlie's Angels was so popular that tabloids kept churning out story after story about the ladies who became part of the show. From their looks to their love lives, nothing was off limits. Some wrote about "The Curse of Charlie's Angels," that the stars of the series have all "been struck down by personal disaster" since they've joined the show.
Day to Evening
Shelley modeled this day to evening dress in the mid-'70s. It came in a number of colors and could be worn several ways. A simple change of accessories gave the dress a whole new look.

Night Court Documentary
Night Court TV Tales E! Channel Documentary
Watch it on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJhqJKT8XH4
Shelley's very brief stint as DA Christine Sullivan in Night Court was mentioned in the 2002 E! Channel documentary series TV Tales when it featured the ground-breaking sitcom. According to Richard Moll, who played bailiff Bull Shannon on the show, "Shelley Hack was very sweet. She lasted about 16 minutes, as I remember, yeah. That was tough." Now let's just hope someone would post the episode about Charlie's Angels where all the six Angels from the original TV series were interviewed. One big advanced thank you to the person who does that.
Angels in Mexico
Shelley, along with the Season 4 Angels and David Doyle, graced the cover of Tele Guia, the Mexican version of TV Guide. The pic used for the cover was taken during the filming of the Charlie's Angels' episode "Fallen Angel." Farrah, Jaclyn, Cheryl and David were in the clothes they wore for the epilogue; while Shelley was in an outfit she wore for an earlier scene. So either they've just finished filming the epilogue and Shelley got dressed to film the earlier scene; or Shelley hadn't changed yet for the epilogue scene. Or maybe even neither of both. Well, great pic anyway.
Garden Portrait
Shelley appeared in the ad for Wamsutta bed sheets in 1965. It's one of the first ads she ever made; and at 18, she was as lovely as the flower-printed sheets she was in. Wamsutta named the print "Garden Portrait." The ad ran from '65 to '66.
Super Mega Show
Shelley attended the 2010 Super Mega Show and Comic Fest held in July of that year. Fans were trilled to see the private and rarely seen of all the Charlie's Angels, old and new. She was still stunning, and she still had that iconic smile that made her famous. Let's hope she indulges her fans again this year by making another public appearance. Oh, that would be a big treat.
A "Flop" Maybe, But...
Shelley starred in the 1983 TV series Cutter to Houston. It was the second time she was cast as a regular in weekly show (Charlie's Angels was the first.) The show was about a trio of doctors who were assigned to a small-town hospital in Cutter, Texas and got assistance from a big city hospital in Houston, Texas, via a computer hook up and a helicopter. In December that year, US magazine reported the show a "Flop" when it was canceled after only seven episodes. But it also reported that "the scripts were fine and the operations mostly successful." So a "Flop" maybe, but only because not many people tuned in (sleeper hits were unheard of at the time.)

Velvety-Looking
Shelley appeared in a mid-'70s JCPenney ad for "velvety-looking jackets." The jackets were made of velour which has the rich appearance and feel of velvet but is kinder to the pocket.
Consultant 1980
According to an article from 1980, one of Shelley's first gigs after Charlie's Angels was as consultant to Canadian film producer and film financier Pierre David. He was planning to produce a film called Models and probably wanted Supermodel Shelley's input on the subject matter.
Jackie
Shelley starred as Jackie Shea in the 1986-1987 TV series Jack and Mike. Initially titled Jackie O'Shea (as a solo vehicle for Shelley,) the series was renamed Our Kind of Town and then finally Jack and Mike. Tom Mason was cast as Jackie's husband, Mike Brennan and got equal billing. The chemistry between the two actors was apparent in a TV movie they both did a year prior, Kicks. Tom played Caleb, Maggie Pierson's concerned boyfriend. Maggie was, of course, played by Shelley.
