Shelley in a pic from a spread

for Seventeen magazine, 1971

Shelley appeared not only on the cover of Seventeen magazine's March 1971 issue but also on the main spread featured in the issue. Entitled "500 Boys Say," the spread explained to readers what boys wanted girls to look and be like at the time (soooooo retro.) Five hundred boys, with ages ranging from  16 to 24, from different parts of the US, were quizzed about their opinions on their ideal girl. The results of the survey were made part of the spread.

In the spread called "46.8% Say Paint It Blue," she wore an outfit that was great for casual and fun activities, like painting, and in blue of course. She wore a quilted top that had multiple zippers on the pockets and the off-center front. She wore it over a pair of start-snug pants that ended in flares. Both were by Fox Run. She finished her look with a scarf by Symphony, a fun belt by Vicario and footwear by Viner Bros. boots. With her hair in pigtails, Shelley looked ready to have fun painting on that day.

Luisa Baccara

Shelley in a promo pic from the 1980s

Shelley appeared in the John Krizanc play Tamara from late-1989 to 1990. It was about the painter Tamara de Lempicka and her historical meeting with Gabriele D'Annunzio at his villa at Gardone Riviera. It was staged at the Il Vittoriale in Los Angeles. The play was unique because it had no "fourth wall", a theater term that means the imaginary "wall" at the front of the stage through which the audience sees the action in the world of the play. In this one, audience members could follow any cast member as the play went on. 

a writeup about Shelley being in the play Tamara, 1989

Shelley had a lot of fun doing  this one. She played Luisa Baccara, a character "who starts out crazy and gets crazier" according to her. "Basically, I get to chew the rug for two hours," Shelley humorously told the Los Angeles Times in November of 1989. She explained, "There's everything you have in a regular play - line, blocking, other actors. But it's also very different. For instance, if you and I have a scene in a room that's supposed to run three minutes, and it turns into four, then you're late - and the person downstairs you're supposed to meet is also late. So it can fall down like bowling pins." Asked why she did it, she said, "Why not? I love theater. I thought it would be fun, and it is."

Shelley was THE quintessential Charlie Girl and appeared in many, many ads for the brand. In 1976, she appeared in a newspaper ad for Charlie that offered "Charlie's Body-and-Soul Set" as a dividend. It was a promo that offered customers a chance to purchase the Revlon Charlie Body-and-Soul Set (which contained Charlie perfume and various Charlie skincare products which cost $19.75) for only $4.75 for any purchase of $5.00 or more from the Charlie Collection. The advertising supplement included a business reply card with a checklist of Charlie Collection beauty products (as well as Chaz cologne and aftershave) that anyone could order and have mailed right to their own home.

The Finishing Touch 8

The Finishing Touch, 1992

In 1992, Shelley starred in the big screen thriller The Finishing Touch. She played Hannah, a divorced detective who had to work on a case with her detective husband then fell with one of their suspects. Dynasty star Michael Nader played her ex-husband Sam Stone and future The Mummy star Arnold Vosloo played the suspect, artist Mikael Gant. This was one of Shelley's sexiest roles because it involved her in a love scene with Vosloo. But for the topless scenes, she used a body double.

The Finishing Touch, 1992

The film was about a divorced couple (Sam and Hannah Stone), both detectives, who had been assigned to the same case - find out who has been killing beautiful women in L.A., filming the deed and selling the footage as snuff films. Two suspects come up, a known criminal and a well-renowned artist (Mikael Gant). As Sam and Hannah further investigate the case, their former marital problems surface, clouding their judgement. And Gant would come between them. The film is available on VHS and was released under the title L.A. Ripper in Germany.

Go-Everywhere-Styles

in an ad for Gay Gibson, 1967

Shelley appeared in many ads for Gay Gibson during her modeling days. The brand was one of the many labels that came out of Kansas City, Missouri. It was a label that dated back to 1937 and that specialized in producing mid-priced fashions for young women. There was nobody named Gay Gibson associated with the brand though; it was owned by the Gernes Garment Company.

pics of Shelley from an ad for Gay Gibson, 1967

In 1967, she appeared in an ad for Gay Gibson which featured "go-everywhere-styles for every occasion made sleek and smart by Gay Gibson." She wore the Moroccan Sizzler, a striped sleeveless top over a purple pleated skirt. Matching earrings, medium-heeled footwear and hair pony-tailed to one side was all that was needed to finish her look. She also wore Gay Gibson's paprika and pepper outfit that were to bring Spring Spice in any girl's fashion life. It was a jumper mini-dress sans the pepper corn blouse. A bracelet and matching footwear finished her outfit. With her hair combed back, Shelley looked fabulous and ready for the spicy 1960s night-life.

With Comedy Legends

Shelley in a paparazzi pic from 1983

Shelley co-starred in the 1983 TV movie Found Money with comedy legends Dick Van Dyke and Sid Caesar (who played Max Sheppard and Sam Green respectively). Originally titled Max and Sam, it was about two bank employees who decided to play a Robin-Hood act by rewarding the kindness of people. Shelley played a reporter (Max's love interest) named Leslie Phillips. She found both actors "very generous to work with" but had to keep up with the duo's pace. "You had to work so fast, because everything was left loose," she told TV Guide in 1983. "I felt like I kind of jumped on a moving train," she added. Shelley would again work with Dick Van Dyke in 1997 - as a guest star in his TV series Diagnosis Murder.

for the JCPenney Fall and Winter 1977 catalog

Shelley appeared in many catalogs throughout her modeling career. One of them was JCPenney. She appeared in many issues of the department store's catalog from the 1960s (when it was still called Penney's) until the 1970s. She appeared in many spreads on the JCPenney Fall and Winter 1977 catalog. In the spread called "Country Wear," she wore a rugged casual outfit with a multi-textured mix. She wore the Flannel Shirt (which had a pointed shirt collar, a button placket front, long button-cuffed sleeves and a shirttail bottom) over the Plaid Partners knickers (the bottom half of the Plaid Partners set which had waistband styling, a front-fly zipper and button closure and extended tab-and-button closure below the knee.) A matching scarf, genuine leather belt and fancy boots finished her look. And Shelley looked both casual and classy, as always.

Superstar Angels

To this day, everyone remembers Charlie's gorgeous crime-fighting Angels - Sabrina Duncan, Jill Munroe, Kelly Garrett, Kris Munroe, Tiffany Welles and Julie Rogers. And everyone has their favorite Angel - as well as defends their favorite Angel. And why not? Each and every one of them had their own brand of style and appeal. Kate Jackson was the smart no-nonsense Sabrina. Farrah Fawcett was the sporty California girl Jill. Jaclyn Smith was the sultry and mysterious Kelly. Cheryl Ladd was the cute and sexy girl-next-door Kris. Shelley Hack was the classy intellectual Tiffany. And Tanya Roberts was the street-smart tigress Julie. They were all gorgeous and they were all loved by fans. They were the biggest and brightest superstars in the entire world at the time. They are icons of the era.

A Bright Spot

a closeup of Shelley from a promo pic

for Cutter to Houston, 1983

Shelley starred in  the 1983 TV series Cutter to Houston with then newcomers Jim Metzler and Alec Baldwin. The title referred to the computer link between the clinic in small town Cutter, Texas, and the Texas Medical Centre in Houston - a groundbreaking innovation at the time. Shelley played Dr. Beth Gilbert, an ambitious surgeon who wanted out of Cutter and had her eye on a big-city hospital in Houston. Jim played Dr. Andy Fenton, a general practitioner who grew up in Cutter and was happy to be home. Alec played Dr. Hal Wexler, an internist on probation for writing unnecessary prescriptions, who hadn't quite figured out whether he liked it there or not.

a writeup about Shelley in Cutter to Houston, 1983

Shelley was praised for her acting in Cutter to Houston and was considered by many as one of the bright spots in the TV series. After the vicious criticism she received when she was on Charlie's Angels, many were surprised by how far she had come acting-wise in her subsequent projects. By 1983, Shelley had impressed her critics when she performed onstage in the plays Vanities, Close Ties and Born Yesterday. On TV, she had delivered great work opposite acting veterans George Segal (Trackdown: Finding the Goodbar Killer), Dick Van Dyke and Sid Caesar (Found Money). But most notably, Shelley's performance in the Martin Scorsese film The King of Comedy opposite acting legend Robert De Niro was a big revelation.

And classy is what comes naturally to Shelley.

for Charlie's Angels, 1979

In 1979, Charlie's Angels executive producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg - with input from stars Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd - selected Shelley Hack as Charlie's newest Angel. Shelley received topmost consideration due to her impeccable background. 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 Revlon Charlie endorsements, she was already one of the most recognizable faces in the world. Aaron Spelling said in the documentary TV Tales: Charlie's Angels that he wanted somebody who was going to blend with Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd's beauty and style, so Shelley was the one that he chose. Shelley was hired to play newest Angel Tiffany Welles; and her casting made news all around the world.

Shelley appeared on the pages of many issues of Woman's Day magazine. Woman's Day magazine is one of the Seven Sisters magazines that have catered to married women with children rather than single working women. The magazine featured homemaking and crafts, food and nutrition, health and fitness, beauty and fashion advice and articles. Shelley appeared on the pages of Woman's Day Knit & Stitch magazine in 1973 with featured fashions and style ideas for the modern married woman.

In the spread called 'Fresh As A Summer Breeze," Shelley wore a stylish top and skirt combination that could be made by the magazine's readers themselves. Dubbed as a "perfect blend that's quick to make and wonderful to wear," the set was  made up of a scoop-necked top with cup sleeves and an A-line skirt. The trim around the neck and the sleeves of the top as well as the skirt itself were done in the broomstick lace and in ice cram colors. The rest of the top was done in a complementing color. A matching necklace and bracelet set finished her look. And Shelley definitely looked fresh as a summer breeze.
