Shelley Was A Hit

a writeup about Shelley and her Charlie's Angels castmates
from Midnight Globe, 1979

When Shelley became Charlie's Angel no. 5 in 1979, she instantly became the hottest news item. Everyone wanted to get to know THE Charlie Girl who was now a Charlie's Angel. Of course, as THE Charlie perfume Girl, she already had a lot of fans - everyone loved her in those Revlon Charlie commercials and print ads. But now that she was an Angel, everyone wanted to get to know her even more, especially on how her relationship with her new co-stars (incumbent Angels Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd) was going so far. The tabloid Midnight Globe said that the new Angels team got along just fine as was witnessed firsthand. The tabloid flew a correspondent to the Caribbean, where Shelley's first CA episode was being filmed, and he saw for himself how the girls got along.

Knitting Book, 1971 B

a closeup of Shelley from a spread on Woman's Day Knitting Book, 1971

Shelley appeared in many knitting books and magazine when she was an in-demand model in the '60s and '70s. In 1971, she appeared in the magazine Woman's Day Knitting Book. In one spread, she modeled a dress made from what was called striated or space dyed yarn, the newest look in yarn back then. She wore a hooded button-up-he-front dress with long sleeves. And Shelley looked 1971 fashionable.

from  A Perry Mason Story: The Case of the Wicked Wives

In December of 1993, Shelley guest starred in A Perry Mason Story: The Case of the Wicked Wives, a TV movie which was a tribute to Raymond Burr, one of Hollywood's most respected actors. Raymond Burr, who famously played Perry Mason in the TV series which ran from 1957 to 1966 and in 26 TV movies, died in September 1993. As a tribute to him, a Perry Mason TV movie was made. But to honor Burr's legacy, the part of Perry Mason wasn't recast. Instead, a new character was brought in, Anthony Caruso (played by Paul Sorvino) who was Mason's good friend. Cast regulars Barbara Hale and William Moses came back. And as guest stars, Supermodels were cast. Shelley Hack, Beverly Johnson, Kim Alexis, Maud Adams and Kathy Ireland played the "wicked wives." Eric Braeden and Paula Marsh rounded out the cast. The telemovie was released on DVD in 2016. It was also released on DVD in Spanish as Perry Mason: El Caso de las Esposas Malvadas in 2017.

Shelley appeared in many ads and catalogs for Sears in the 1960s and 1970s. In the Sears Spring Through Summer 1974 catalog, she appeared in a spread called "Junior Bazaar Separates Featuring...

She wore a red and white pullover-style striped top of smooth-knit cotton with a high square neckline and slightly puffed short sleeves over a cream-colored pair of trouser-style denim jeans which featured a zipper fly-front, a two-button closing waistband, slash pockets and cuffed hems. She wore a pair of canvas upper sling wedge footwear with woven rope trim. A matching slim red woven belt finished her look. And Shelley looked smashing.

Splice-Ups

Shelley appeared in a couple of spreads for Simplicity Home Catalog fall/winter 1971. The spread called "Splice-Ups" featured fashions enhanced with color slicing, using color blocks for different parts of a garment. It was the freshest look of the season and the spread showed readers the wonderful color combinations they could try.

Shelley wore a two-tone raglan-sleeved pullover top, in blue for the bodice and yellow for the sleeves, over a matching blue skirt. It had the added feature of a butterfly applique on the chest- and in yellow, of course, to complement her top. A matching belt, printed socks and hair clip finished her look. And Shelley looked super in her slice-up ensemble.

Shelley Hack Media Consultancy

From 1997 to around 2008, Shelley was busy with Shelley Hack Media Consultancy (SHMC), a media consultancy firm she owned that worked in pre- and post-conflict countries. It was a company that internationally specialized on projects that focused on the intersection between media and the development of civil society. She would go into war-torn countries and help them establish democracy through media, which was often done with the help of televised political debates. "I have a consultancy company, and I basically do institution building in post-conflict countries" she told one reporter later. And in 1997, she started by producing the first-ever televised presidential debates to be held in Bosnia.

Another Jack and Mike Promo Spot

screen captures from a 1987 Jack and Mike promo spot

Shelley's third foray into series TV was Jack and Mike. It was about a married yuppie couple living in Chicago, trying to find time for each other in their busy schedules. Shelley played Jackie Shea, a star columnist at The Mirror, a widely-circulated Chicago paper. Her column was awaited by everyone every week. Her husband was Mike Brennan (played by Tom Mason), a successful restaurateur.

Sew A Border Print

 Shelley appeared in many ads, brochures and mags for Simplicity patterns. In 1977, she appeared in an ad spread called "Sew A Border Print" which showcased outfits made from printed fabric - with the prints strategically placed at the outfit's borders. Shelley wore Simplicity pattern #7757 - a blue and white smock dress with a mandarin collar and a set-in waist. Of course, the print of the fabric was strategically located. A matching necklace and wedge heeled espadrilles finished her look. And Shelley looked fab in that smock dress.

Shelley and Tanya 2009

(Thank you sooo much Daniel Gomez Rinaldi
for posting this fabulous pic)

Shelley attended the Hollywood Collector's Show held in Burbank, California, in July of 2009. Also in the event was Tanya Roberts whom Shelley met for the first time. The two women starred in the legendary 1970s TV series Charlie's Angels, but they never met. Shelley joined the show in the 4th season; then Tanya took over from Shelley in the 5th season when Shelley left the show. It was a historic event in Angel history that many will remember. Let's hope Shelley and Tanya, along with Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd, will reunite again in a sit down interview, an awards show appearance, a magazine cover or even a TV movie. That would make history.

Hot-Weather Dressing 2

Superstar Shelley

a fan asking for Shelley's autograph, 1979

Shelley became Charlie's newest Angel in 1979, and she jumped from being THE Charlie Girl to becoming Charlie's latest Superstar Angel. As it was for all the Angels before her, she received a lot of attention from both the media and from fans. Her casting was even mentioned in the evening news - it was a huge deal. "I couldn't believe it. What was I doing in the evening news," she exclaimed at the time.

When she arrived in St. Thomas at the Caribbean, where her first Charlie's Angels episode was going to be shot, she was greeted by the paparazzi. "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," Shelley said astonished by the amount of Angel casting was getting. "I had press people crawling in my windows," she told E! in 2002.
