For ten years, SHMC helped develop unbiased television, film, and associated media projects in war-torn and developing countries. Essentially, she helped develop television and film projects for foreign markets. She worked extensively in the Balkans and Western Asia.

Angels Reunion Please

Paparazzi pic of Shelley when she became a Charlie's Angel in 1979

It seems that of all the legendary shows that was ever on TV, the cast Charlie's Angels - the '70s most legendary television show - never came together to reunite and talk about their phenomenally successful and groundbreaking series. Many Angels reunions have happened throughout the years, but it was never of the entire cast. Wouldn't it be great to see them all together (sadly, sans Farrah Fawcett) for just one time? This has been my dream since the series was cancelled in 1981. Wouldn't it be great to see Charlie's five living Angels come together? Can anyone make this happen? Oprah? Any fan? Anyone?

What if Kate Jackson, Shelley Hack, Cheryl Ladd, Tanya Roberts, Jaclyn Smith,
reunited at some comic convention? What would it look like?
Something like this maybe?
