Shelley in a promo pic for Charlie's Angels, 1983
Shelley's first foray into series TV was, a everyone knows, Charlie's Angels. Kate Jackson left the series after season 3 and it was initially/mistakenly announced that Bond Girl Barbara Bach was the new Angel. Spelling-Goldberg later corrected the mistake and announced that Revlon Charlie Girl Shelley Hack was actually the new Angel. And Shelley fit the bill perfectly. She was a bright young woman with a high I.Q. from upscale Greenwich, Connecticut. She had a history degree from Smith (a classy East Coast college.) And, because of her Charlie endorsements, she was already one of the most recognizable faces in the world. And, of course, there was that dazzling smile (By then, it the second most famous smile of the 70's. The first was Farrah Fawcett's who was also a Charlie's Angel.) Everyone was so excited.
