Shelley at an art event in 1989

Shelley became a superstar in 1979 after being cast in the worldwide phenomenon Charlie's Angels. And like all the Angels before and after her, she garnered a lot of media attention... even after leaving the hit series. Shelley was a visible presence in the Hollywood scene beginning in the 1980s and was photographed by the paparazzi at various events. She was also a busy actress in the 1980s. She conquered stage, receiving glowing reviews for her work on Jack Heifner's Vanities, Elizabeth Diggs's Close Ties and Garson Kanin’s Born Yesterday. On the big screen, she impressed critics for her work on Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy and Joseph Ruben's The Stepfather. On TV, she delivered notable performances opposite acting veterans George Segal (Trackdown: Finding the Goodbar Killer), Dick Van Dyke and Sid Caesar (Found Money). And she lead the cast in two TV series, Cutter to Houston and Jack and Mike, which were well-received by most critics but were both short-lived.

To continue, Mike goes over to see Jackie at The Mirror.

Mike takes Jackie to the less affluent side of town to show her the types of boys who live there... the ones who excel in sports. He tells her that for them, professional sports is their way out of poverty. It is the dream of many of them to get into the pros. But Jackie reasons with Mike... saying that merely a handful end up at the pros. Mike points out that the hope of making it to the pros is precisely what drives these boys. Jackie ponders on Mike's point.

Shelley's first leading lady role was as Jennifer Corly in the 1978 film If Ever I See You Again - starred, written and directed by Joseph Brooks. The film was a sort of follow-up to the 1977 smash You Light Up My Life which was also written and directed by Brooks. Both films were panned by critics but both also produced number one hits with their original theme songs (both composed by Brooks). Debbie Boone's version of "You Light Up My Life" held the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for ten consecutive weeks in 1977. Roberta Flack's version of "If Ever I See You Again" hit #1 on Billboard magazine's Easy Listening chart and stayed there for three weeks in July of 1978.

Shelley was hounded by the paparazzi in 1979 after it was announced that she was cast in Charlie's Angels. She became the newest Angel in 1979, and she jumped from being THE Charlie Girl to becoming Charlie's latest Superstar cherub. 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 was astonished by the amount of attention her Angel casting was getting. "I had press people crawling in my windows," she told E!in 2002.

In 1979, the megahit Charlie's Angels was entering its 4th season and executive producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg were looking for a replacement for exiting cast member Kate Jackson. An extensive search was made and many beautiful women (models and actresses) auditioned. Shelley Hack 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." By then, Shelley was already a Supermodel and was familiar to the public as being THE Charlie Girl in those fabulous Charlie perfume print ads and commercials. By late May that year, Shelley was cast as Charlie's newest Angel Tiffany Welles. "THE Charlie Girl Becomes Charlie's Newest Angel" was a headline producer Aaron Spelling just couldn't resist.

Doing Comedy

Shelley on the cover of TV Showtime, 1984

In 1984, Shelley joined the cast of the nighttime sitcom Night Court for its second season (replacing Paula Kelly). She was cast to play public defender Christine Sullivan and the character was going to be romantically involved with Judge Harry Stone (played by Harry Anderson). Although best known at the time for being a dramatic actress, Shelley wasn't adverse to doing comedy. In fact, she saw herself more as a comedian. "You don't think I'll be the serious one who has to carry the doom and gloom?" she said. Prior to her casting, she had played a detective in the TV series Charlie's Angels and a surgeon on another TV series Cutter to Houston.

a writeup about Shelley

being cast on Night Court, 1984

"I'll be doing my research at the New York court," Shelley said, "I always look forward to researching a role. It will be interesting." With help and guidance from the Legal Aid Society of New York, Shelley spent time watching defendants being arraigned in court. "Even though it's a comedic role, I still like to get in touch with the reality that it's based on," she said. "What goes on at the court is not funny. It's tragic, and very moving." From one of the courtroom's wooden benches, she watched the proceedings surrounded by the defendants' friends and family sitting on the nearby benches. When asked if anyone noticed her, Shelley replied, "No, I think they had other things on their mind."

a promo pic of Shelley for Night Court, 1984

But when the series started shooting, at the last minute, producer Reinhold Weege decided she wasn't right for the part. And Shelley felt the same way. "I liked the show. They offered me the role. I went and met with them and liked them," Shelley said. "But what happened was the role was changed somewhere between that meeting and my first day on the set," she explained. So the actress and the producer mutually and amicably agreed to call the whole thing off. Ellen Foley was brought in for that season to replace Shelley - as a new character, public defender Billie Young. Markie Post took over the role of Christine Sullivan for one episode "Daddy for the Defense," which was switched from the season opener (Shelley's supposed first episode) to the 2nd episode. A year later, Markie Post became a permanent part of the cast.

To continue, after her encounter with Lincoln U star player Andrew Taylor at the entrance of The Mirror, Jackie is greeted by her editor, Nora Adler, as she walks to her office. Nora excitedly goes on to tell Jackie about the result of the lingerie party they attended the night before. It seems the outfit Nora chose for herself made a good impression on her husband. Nora is very happy, and she asks Jackie about her outfit. Jackie informs Nora that her column the previous day dampened the mood at her household. Mike was upset at her for writing about the beloved star player of his alma mater. Nora tells Jackie she loved her column; but it seems she had ruffled quite a lot of feathers... even at their own office. Nelson Kimbel, a Lincoln U alumnus and an executive at The Mirror, told Nora to "bump up the lingerie, back burner the basketball." Jackie asks Nora if that was her order. Nora says if Jackie's lingerie research materials were somehow lost, then Jackie wouldn't have a choice but to continue her series of articles on the college sports scene at Lincoln U. After informing her staff that Jackie will be needing all the lingerie catalogs at her desk by that night, Nora tells Jackie she bought her time to write about the college sports scene today. She tells Jackie to just make sure that her sources are solid. She doesn't want a retraction later.
