for Charlie perfume and cosmetics, 1980

Shelley was THE quintessential Charlie Girl and was Revlon Charlie's image model from 1976 to 1982. Charlie was one of the first mega-successful American lifestyle brands in the world. The phenomenal success of the brand was due largely to Shelley's unforgettable image. Because of Shelley, everybody in the world wanted to be a Charlie Girl. In 1980, she appeared in an ad promoting "The Charlie Color-Go-Round" compact and perfume set. It was a promo set (worth $35.00) that was available for only $7.00 with any Charlie Collection purchase. The promo set contained an easy-to-carry compact that housed 4 eye shadows, 2 blushes and 2 lip glosses... all in great Charlie facemaker colors. It also included a 6 oz. bottle spray of Charlie concentrated perfume. The ad promoted Revlon's Charlie Colorlights as well. Charlie Colorlights were three new groups of shimmering colors for the eyes, cheeks, lips and nails (called Soft Red Colorlights, Rosy Colorlights and Magenta Colorlights), that could put anyone's face at its best, day or night. And, of course, Shelley was featured in the ad, Charlie Girl gorgeous as always.

Shelley starred in her very first TV movie Death Car on the Freeway back in 1979. She played television reporter/news anchor Janette Clausen who was investigating a series of vehicular accidents and murders involving female motorists by a psychopathic driver who became to be known as "The Freeway Fiddler". The film also starred George Hamilton, Peter Graves, and Barbara Rush. In supporting roles were Frank Gorshin, Dinah Shore, Abe Vigoda, and Morgan Brittany. It was directed by stuntman-turned-director Hal Needham who also directed Smokey and the Bandit and The Cannonball Run. The movie has the right balance of action, drama and suspense.

She wore a pink candy-plaid, mandarin-collared jacket with silver buttons over a slightly-ballooned miniskirt, both in the same fabric, both by Outer Ltd. She finished her look with a pair of tights by Trimfit and footwear by Patinos. Earrings by Accessocraft, a hat by Adolfo II, a pair of white gloves by Kayser, and a matching handbag by Kadin accessorized her look. And Shelley looked every inch like a pretty doll come alive.

Shelley: When I have people for dinner, I am relaxed, confident... Is this convincing? I'm a nervous wreck. I mean, what if the dinner burns? What if my soufflé turns to soup? What if everybody hates each other? Those people you invite over, they're friends. Once they walk into your door, they're--

(doorbell rings)

Shelley: Guests! So you know what I do? I put everybody to work in the kitchen. After all, I'm a working mom. I'm never ready when everybody arrives anyway. Before you know it everybody's chatting, laughing, having a great time. And I can relax.

for Glamour magazine, Dec 1974

After finishing her schooling, Shelley signed on full-time at her modeling agency, Ford Models Inc., and became one of the highest-paid Supermodels in the United States... booking countless fashion spreads, print and TV ads, as well as magazine covers including Glamour, Mademoiselle and Vogue. In 1974, she appeared on the pages of Glamour's December issue. In the spread called "Season Specials To Top Pants and Skirts," she modeled the prettiest tops for that holiday season that had a special hand-worked feeling... all of which had lace, crochet or beautiful openwork details (trivia: the photos used in the spread were taken by Shelley's then boyfriend Steen Svensson). Shelley wore a soft melon-colored long-sleeved tank top trimmed with fine lace by Miss Ingenue. She wore it over a similar colored rib knit pencil skirt by Rose Hips and finished it with a belt by Jose Cotel. A pin by DeBare Saunders and bracelets by Catherine Stein accessorized her look. And Shelley looked gorgeous, chic, and ready for to celebrate the holidays.

Jackie O'Shea

for Jack and Mike, 1986

Shelley starred in her third TV series Jack and Mike in 1986. The series was initially called Jackie O'Shea as it was going to be a star vehicle for Shelley. Series producer David Gerber believed in her talent and star power so much that he wanted to give her her own TV series. Shelley was going to play the title role, a woman journalist who had a supportive husband waiting at home - kind of like a reverse gender role thing which was a fresh idea in the 1980s.

Tom Mason, who played Shelley's boyfriend in the 1985 TV movie Kicks and with whom Shelley had great on-screen chemistry, was offered the role of Mike Brennan, Jackie's husband. Initially, he turned down the role as it was merely window dressing for the title character - a sort of stay-at-home cheerleader for Jackie. After a lot of talks with David Gerber, the husband was developed into a more well-rounded character, then it was retitled Our Kind of Town. When it aired, it was again retitled Jack and Mike, with both Shelley and Tom given equal billing.

Shelley appeared in many ads and commercials for many different products and companies during her tenure as Supermodel. One of them was for Avon. Avon is a company that sells cosmetics, skin care, perfume, personal care products, and jewelry. Some of the most well-known Avon brands are Imari, Far Away, and Sweet Honesty. Shelley appeared in many print ads, catalogs and commercials for Avon. In 1977, she appeared in ads for Avon's Firm & Natural. It was a hair spray that was guaranteed to hold up... even in the rain. It left the hair natural-looking while keeping a long-lasting hold. It came in a pump spray that was more economical, once for ounce. Plus, it had a clean, fresh herbal scent that didn't compete or overpower colognes and perfumes (For more, check out: Relax and Just Relax). Shelley appeared in a couple of Firm & Natural ads and was absolutely gorgeous in them.

Journalist Jackie

for the TV series Jack and Mike, 1986

Shelley's third foray into series television was Jack and Mike in 1986. The show explored the life of journalist Jackie Shea (played by Shelley) and restauranteur Mike Brennan (played Tom Mason), a married couple with busy careers trying to make their marriage work. The yuppie phenomenon exploded in the 1980s when more and more women began entering the workforce, climbing up the corporate ladder and holding positions previously held exclusively by men in past generations. The other cast members were: Nora Adler (Jacqueline Brookes), Jackie’s editor; Anthony Kubecek (Kevin Dunn), Jackie's assistant; Carol (Holly Fulger), the head waitress at Mike's restaurant, Brennan's Grill; and Rick Scotti (Vincent Baggetta), an attorney who appeared occasionally. The series was filmed on location in Chicago, Illinois.

She wore a "diamond"- sparked cape in midnight black over a a white shirtdress, both by Bonnie Fashions. She finished her look with glittery white hosiery and ink-black footwear with pleated trims and block heels. She accessorized her look with a black satin rosette spilling with jet beads pinned to her hair. And Shelley looked every inch a romantic heroine in the flesh.

Shelley was one of the most visible Supermodels in the 1970s. She appeared on the covers and pages of many major magazines around the world. In 1971, Shelley appeared on the pages of the October 15 issue of Brigitte Mit Constanze, a German women's magazine which featured fashion spreads, home style trends and health tips.

The cut-out section called "Sometimes A Shirt-Blouse, Sometimes A Shirt-Jacket" featured several patterns for shirt/jackets that could be worn on its own (as a shirt) or over a something (as a jacket). Shelley modeled pattern number two... a straight-cut shirt jacket made from warm green wool flannel. It had a collar, a horizontal yoke, and two large breast pockets with zigzag pocket flaps and button closures. It had slightly rounded side slits. Shelley wore it as a jacket over a long-sleeved shirt and pants combo that she topped with a sweater vest. She accessorized her look with a bold-buckled wide belt over the vest and a pair of sunglasses. A short curly wig made her look hip and contemporary. And, as always, Shelley looked fabulous.

The Perfect Fill-In

Shelley in a promo pic, 1979

The mega-hit TV series Charlie's Angels, a Spelling-Goldberg production, was entering its fourth season in 1979 and was looking for a replacement for exiting cast member Kate Jackson. Shelley said, "I remember there was a big Angel hunt going on, and they asked me to audition. The hunt seemed to go on for a long time. A lot of my girlfriends went in to be tested, but I wasn't involved until sometime later when my agent called and said, 'It's a terrific show - you really should think about testing.' So, I thought about it again and went in."

a short writeup about Shelley

joining the cast of Charlie's Angels, 1979

"Shelley came to the studio and everyone in wardrobe fell in love with her and I begged Aaron, please hire her," said Nolan Miller, the wardrobe designer on the series. "She's so chic and she's so great, no matter what she wears," he added, "We pleaded and begged; and Aaron finally said okay." Soon-to-be-co-Angel Jaclyn Smith was consulted on the final selection of the new Angel; and she also recommended Shelley. Jaclyn said, "I selected her because she was spunky and a perfect fill-in for Kate." In May of 1979, series executive producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg met with Shelley. Spelling told Shelley, "We'd like you to be the new Angel." "That's very nice," was her reply; and then she immediately and excitedly called her mother to tell her about the good news.

Found Money, 1983

Shelley appeared alongside comedy legends Dick Van Dyke and Sid Caesar in the 1983 TV movie Found Money. Originally titled Max and Sam, the movie was re-titled My Secret Angel then finally Found Money. The film was about computer expert Max Shepherd (Dick Van Dyke) and security guard Sam Green (Sid Caesar), two former employees of First National Bank who have been let go with little to nil benefits after decades of employment. Max uses his computer skills to create an account in the bank using the money from inactive accounts that are automatically transferred to the state when not claimed after five years. Using the name Seymour Good, head of The Invisible Friend Inc., he transfers the money instead to accounts of ordinary citizens who bring kindness to the world - starting with $10,000 in Sam's account. After some convincing, Sam joins Max in his quest. As good Samaritans begin receiving the money, the story is picked up by the press and is covered by reporter Leslie Phillips (Shelley Hack) who becomes Max's love interest.

a writeup about the TV movie

Found Money, 1983

Shelley had a very promising acting career immediately after leaving Charlies Angels in 1980. She honed her acting skills in Jack Heifner's Vanities, Elizabeth Diggs's Close Ties and Garson Kanin’s Born Yesterday, wowing her critics and detractors as she did. She shined in the Martin Scorsese film The King of Comedy opposite Robert De Niro. She held her own opposite George Segal in the TV movie Trackdown: Finding the Goodbar Killer. And she was great in the TV movie Found Money opposite legendary comedians Dick Van Dyke and Sid Caesar. Shelley found both of them "very generous to work with" but had to keep up with the their pace. "You had to work so fast, because everything was left loose," she told TV Guide. "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 series Diagnosis Murder.

Shelley modeled the frame design called Capote in crystal (it came in light and dark tortoise as well). And Shelley looked positively SPECtacular.

Happy Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day Parade, 1981

The American Thanksgiving Day is an American holiday celebrated yearly on the fourth Thursday of November. The national holiday is a tradition that dates back to 1863 (Since the late 19th century, it has been linked to the 1621 harvest festival of the Pilgrims). It is a celebration that centers around giving thanks for the good things that have transpired during the year that passed. The Thanksgiving dinner is a traditional meal awaited and prepared by many during this holiday with dishes made from ingredients native to the United States such as turkey, potato, sweet potato, corn, pumpkin, green bean, and cranberry. Likewise, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has also been an annual tradition awaited by many.

Thanksgiving Day Parade, 1981

The US-based department store chain Macy's has been holding the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade since 1924; and it's one of the oldest Thanksgiving Day parades in the United States. The parade is held on Thanksgiving Day and is three-hours long, beginning at 9 a.m. and ending at 12 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. The parade is held in Manhattan... It starts at Central Park West (originally it started in Harlem) and ends at Macy's Herald Square. The parade route is 2.5 miles long and has been televised nationally on the NBC TV network since 1953. Featured in the parade are giant balloons, floats, marching bands, clowns, performance groups, celebrities and stars; they all stop momentarily at designated points along the way to entertain the crowds watching from the sidewalks and the surrounding buildings. Shelley Hack participated in Macy's 55th Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1981... as part of Revlon's "Charlie And The Nutcracker" float.

Thanksgiving Day Parade, 1981

Macy's 55th Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade was hosted by Ed McMahon and Regis Philbin. Some of the performances featured were by the cast of the Metropolitan Opera production of Hansel and Gretel, the cast of Broadway's Sophisticated Ladies with Gregory Hines, the pop group Kool and the Gang, and the cast of Broadway's Camelot. It also featured stars like Donny Osmond, Kim Fields, Nancy McKeon, Ann Miller, the cast of Sesame Street, Nell Carter, Phyllis Diller, Erik Estrada, and the cast of the movie Annie. It also debuted a new float by Revlon called "Charlie And The Nutcracker." It featured a giant nutcracker in the middle of the float that moved its arms as the float passed by, and as Tchaikovsky's "March of the Toy Soldiers" played in the background. When the float made its momentary stop, students from The School of American Ballet danced in front of the float to Tchaikovsky's "Trepak (Russian Dance)." Shelley Hack, who was at the time THE Charlie Girl (she was Revlon Charlie's perfume and cosmetics Supermodel), was also on the float... sitting right in front, on a fancy sleigh with a long-necked reindeer head designed into its front panel. And beside Shelley was someone dressed (in keeping with the theme) as a nutcracker. She was in a red outfit topped with a fabulous fur coat; and she smiled and waved to the crowd as the float passed by. Let's hope a clearer version of the parade would surface, so we can clearly see Shelley and Revlon's fabulous "Charlie And The Nutcracker" float.
