A Really Pretty Dress 3

Shelley in a spread

for Simplicity The Fashion Magazine for Women Fall/Winter 1972

Shelley appeared on the cover as well as in many spreads throughout Simplicity The Fashion Magazine for Women Fall/Winter 1972. In the spread under "Fashion Focus 7" called "Make A Really Pretty Dress", she modeled Simplicity Pattern 5159, a knit dress that was like a sweater. The spread encouraged young women to don dresses that looked like separates (a sweater and skirt set) but have the comfort of a dress. The snappy sportswear look fooled the eye and with the right accessories, looked très chic. And of course, Shelley looked très chic  in hers.

First Leading Lady Role

Shelley and Joseph Brooks in a still for If Ever I See You Again, 1978

Shelley's very first leading lady role was in the 1978 film If Ever I See You Again. She played Jennifer Corly, the love interest of Bob Morrison, played by Joseph Brooks. Shelley didn't really have to audition for it. When she came in to read, Joe (who was also the film's producer and director) hired her on the spot. He felt she had the right look for the role and was enamored by her beauty. She was after all THE Charlie Girl at the time - a Supermodel at the very top of the modeling business.

Sopisticated Charlie Girl

Shelley in a 1982 version of the Charlie perfume ad

Shelley became THE Charlie Girl in 1976. Her image catapulted the brand (as well as herself) to iconic status. When everyone talks about Charlie perfume, it is her image that always comes to mind. That effervescent smile, that stride and that confidence is what everyone associates with the Charlie brand. Her Charlie Girl tenure lasted until 1982, the longest one for the brand.

Reasearching For Single Women

a writeup about Shelley in 1984 for the telefilm Single Bars, Single Women

Shelley starred in the telefilm Single Bars, Single Women in 1984. And for her role, she did some research by going to bars herself but in disguise. Her efforts proved to be worthy, because she was able to gather a wealth of info that helped her with her role. She also tired her hand at becoming a truck stop waitress (which was her her character's job) in Utah where most of the film was shot.

Easy-Care Robes

Shelley in a spread for Sears Spring Through Summer 1974 catalog

Shelley appeared in various spreads throughout the Sears Spring Through Summer 1974 catalog. In the spread called "Be Cool.. Comfortable.. Fashionable in Sears Easy-Care Robes", she modeled a fashionable robe that could be worn all year-round and make anyone feel fabulous. It had the simplicity of a shirt counterbalanced by a burst of brilliant florals in bloom. The button-front robe glided from the shoulders down to the ankle of its full skirt. It had long sleeves and side-seam pockets. And Shelley looked sensational in it.

Valentine's Day Party

Shelley at the Charlie's Angels Valentine's Day Party in 1980

Shelley attended the Charlie's Angels Valentine's Day Party at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California in Feb of 1980. According to People magazine in 1980, all the show's principals (Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd and David Doyle) "got a telegram inviting them back next year - except Shelley" and that she only found out about it the day after. Shelley told E! in 2002 that she never expected to be in the show for more than a year - which was already plenty for her. It seems Shelley was somewhat overwhelmed by the amount of attention her tenure as an Angel generated. As a very private person, her leaving the show must have been a welcome relief.

Dresses 1970

Shelley in a spread for Sears 1970 Spring Through Summer catalog

Shelley appeared on the pages of Sears 1970 Spring Through Summer catalog. In the spread featuring the latest dresses, she modeled the Jacket-Dress Caper and the Coatdress Craze. The former was a dress with a textured white cotton bodice and a plaid skirt. It came with a matching plaid jacket and a polka-dotted scarf/sash. The latter was an A-shaped coatdress with an off-beat widened collar and a lapel criss-cross to off-center closing. And in both dresses, Shelley looked smashing.

Horror Thriller

Shelley with Jill Schoelen and Terry O'Quinn in The Stepfather, 1987

Shelley starred in the horror thriller The Stepfather in 1987. The movie was a moderate success when it was initially released; but it has since gained a cult following due to its unique plot, its pacing and the superb performances of its main cast (Shelley, Jill Schoelen and Terry O'Quinn). Shelley was cast by the film's director Joseph Ruben who was impressed by her work in Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy. She didn't have to audition for the role, because Ruben thought she was easy on the eyes and had a naturalness that was perfect for the role. And Shelley received glowing reviews for her performance in this cult classic. The film is currently out on DVD.

Currently out on DVD as well is The Last Slumber Party, another horror thriller released a year after The Stepfather; but, unfortunately, it is not in the same league. In fact, this low budget horror flick wasn't actually scary. Probably the most interesting thing about the film was the dialogue uttered (at around 43 minutes into the film) by one of the characters that went, "Who’d you think it was, Shelley Hack?" The Shelley Hack reference came out of nowhere and just didn't have anything to do with the film at all. Well, reference or not, the movie could actually be quite entertaining if it's not taken too seriously. Some consider it "the best bad movie ever made" as well as a camp classic.

Tailored Silhouette

Shelley appeared in many ads for Ms. Lee (a division of Lee Company) in the 1970s. In one 1975 ad, she modeled their Jeans-Cords line, a fashion set in corduroy that had a tailored silhouette. It was made up of a pair of cuff-less trim jeans (or a snap-front skirt - which wasn't shown) and a hip length safari jacket. Worn with their Lee Floral Garden Shirt, and "you've got a lot of outfit going for you". And Shelley looked like she had a lot going for her.

A Farm Girl Becomes Charlie's New Angel

Shelley in a writeup for Story magazine, May 1980

The Dutch mag Story featured a writeup on Shelley in May of 1980. It was called "A Farm Girl Becomes Charlie's New Angel" (At the time, Shelley owned a 240-acre farm in New York's Catskills where she would go to let her hair down and unwind). It further went "After Kate Jackson was fired, the hunt for a new Charlie's Angel was on. Many candidates came forward, including Margaret Trudeau (the wife of the Canadian Prime Minister) and the actress Barbara Bach. But the role went to Shelley Hack". Many auditioned for the role of Tiffany Welles, but it was Shelley who was cast. According to Aaron Spelling, "We looked at some very well-known actresses in this town. Most of the girls we saw were gorgeous, but they didn't have the right bubble and intelligence." Leonard Goldberg added, "Shelley is a very bright young lady. She knows what's happening. The one thing that stood out was  that she was totally likeable in the tests."

She's Got Legs

Shelley in a promo pic from 1978

Shelley was one of the sought-after Supermodels of the 1970s. She appeared in many magazines spreads and ads and was known throughout the world as THE Charlie Girl in the Charlie perfume ads. Her transition from Supermodel to actress was inevitable. Promotional pics of her were taken in the mid 1970s, showing off her physical assets, of course (as was and is the case for most aspiring actresses). Shelley's assets were her long shapely legs, which she bared in a few photo sets. One set featured her lounging around in cut-off jeans and a white top. Shelley was sensuous and sexy.
