THE Charlie Girl

Shelley was THE Charlie perfume girl from 1976 to 1982. She was THE Charlie Girl that brought the brand to worldwide success. Her effervescent smile, her long stride and her unwavering confidence catapulted the brand, as well as her, to iconic status. Everyone wanted to become a Charlie Girl. In fact, when she auditioned for Charlie's Angels, Nolan Miller, the show's costume designer, begged Aaron Spelling to hire her. "I just flipped for Shelley Hack when she came to the studio, when they were interviewing girls," Nolan said in one interview. "I met her and she was the Charlie Girl and I thought she had such style and such class. I was mad for her," he added.
