Truck-Stop Waitress Frankie

for Single Bars, Single Women, 1984

Shelley starred in the 1984 TV movie Single Bars, Single Women which, as one writer put it, was "darn good." The film explored the singles scene for women - post women's liberation. Women had finally come out on their own, so the rules of dating were changing... fast. No longer in need of escorts and chaperones, women could now go bar-hopping alone to meet the men they wanted to meet. Women finally had a voice and a choice. "I like being a single woman in the world today," Shelley said.

a writeup about Shelley starring

in Single Bars, Single Women, 1984

Shelley would always do research for any role she was about to play. And in 1984, when she got the part of truck-stop waitress Frankie in the TV movie Single Bars, Single Women, she went into singles bars disguised in a black wig and heavy makeup. She wanted to see what was going on with the kind of women who went there (because Frankie was a singles bar patron). Shelley said, "It's hard to watch what's going on in a big, crowded bar. But I did see some men and women meet, have a drink, talk for a while and then leave together. But that wasn't too common." Shelley added, "The amount of attention a woman draws depends on her attitude. It depends on how much you put out." She also tried her hand at being a truck-stop waitress like Frankie. "I even researched being a waitress by working in a truck stop in Provo (Utah) where we filmed most of the movie. I learned a great deal in the café, too. I made a lot of money in tips and learned some tricks about turning down customers without hurting their feelings," she said.

Spring and Summer 1975 catalog

Shelley appeared in many catalogs throughout her modeling career, from the late '60s to the late '70s. Mail-order catalogs were at the height of its popularity at the time. They were big-book size publications that contained a list and pictures of the general merchandise from, usually, a department store that were available for purchase and delivery straight to the homes of their customers. Everything from homeware to toys were featured in these catalogs... as well as garments and the latest fashion pieces. Shelley appeared in many spreads throughout the JCPenney Spring and Summer 1975 catalog.

In the spread called "The Soft Touch," Shelley wore finely-tailored polished chino-look separates that paired up smartly with a pretty batik-patterned knit T-top. She wore the Finely Tailored Classic Separates jacket and pants ensemble. She wore The Bush-Style Jacket top (which had a front yoke, a top center band, a button-front styling, mock turn-back cuffs, a straight bottom hem and front flap-style pockets) over The Flare-Leg Pants (which had a top-stitched contoured waistband and a fly-front zipper with an extended tab-and-inside hook-and-eye closure). She finished her look with a chic Canvas Hat, the Comfortable Sling-Back Shoes, and the Bangle Bracelet Watch.

That Electric Presence

Shelley starred in the play

Born Yesterday in 1982

Shelley starred as Billie Dawn in the Pennsylvania Stage Company's 1982 staging of Born Yesterday in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Shelley starred alongside acting vets Michael O. Smith, Fritz Sperberg and Kelly Fitzpatrick. Stephen Rothman, the executive director of the critically acclaimed Pasadena Playhouse, was the director. The play ran from September 29 to October 24 of that year and was presented at the J.I. Rodale Theater in Allentown. "I am interested in developing my career as an actress and doing as much work in the theater as I can," Shelley said in 1982. As for working with the Pennsylvania Stage Company, she said, "I'm thrilled to be here, and to be working with such great people. This playhouse is getting a very good reputation. When I heard that they were doing this play, I got in contact with them. All I want to do now is to do good theater."

a writeup about Shelley

and the play Born Yesterday, 1982

The play was well-received; and, according to Morning Call reviewer Myra Y. Goldfarb, the play's theme was so timely. She praised it for being "stylish, frothy and fun." The set design and costumes brought the audience back to the era of 1940s Washington D.C. when rich, powerful men were the dominant force in American society. Director Stephen Rothman "molded the talented cast into a tightly knit ensemble." Michael O. Smith, Fritz Sperberg and Kelly Fitzpatrick all gave wonderful performances. And Shelley (yet again) wowed audiences (and her critics alike) with her performance, giving a "touching and engaging innocence" to her portrayal and development of the uneducated chorus girl Billie Dawn - her journey from dumb blonde to smart cookie. Plus, Shelley's "electric presence" lit up the stage whenever she entered it. It would be a wonderful piece to watch if only it had been filmed for TV.

RRRRRUSS Apparel

for RRRRRUSS apparel , 1977

Shelley appeared in many fashion ads during her tenure as a Supermodel. One of them was for RRRRRUSS apparel in 1977. The RRRRRUSS brand produced ladies' and girls' apparel... namely skirts, jackets, blouses, shirts, shorts, pants, slacks, jeans and coats. It was manufactured by Russ Togs (founded by brothers Eli and Irving Rousso in 1946) which also manufactured the Vicky Vaughn brand and much later the Christie Brinkley sportswear and bathing suit lines. Shelley appeared in a 1977 RRRRRUSS apparel ad with the tagline a "Buy That's Right" where she wore a chic white blazer and skirt ensemble. The blazer had black piping and black-and-white buttons to match. Under the blazer, she wore a V-neck striped top with yellow, white, black and gray stripes. Her outfit was finished with a pair of gold hoop earrings, a golden bracelet and, of course, her effervescent smile. And Shelley looked chic and oh-so-right.

Being A TV Star

a closeup of Shelley from a promo pic

for Charlie's Angels, 1979

Shelley became Charlie's Angel Tiffany Welles in May of 1979. After a long search, executive producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg chose Shelley to fill the spot vacated by Kate Jackson in the spring of 1979. 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." Shelley was cast; and she along with Jaclyn Smith (Kelly Garrett) and Cheryl Ladd (Kris Munroe) became Charlie's newest Angel team.

a writeup about Shelley from 1980

When asked whether she liked being a TV star, Shelley said, "Yes. I've got two parking spaces with my name on them. It's wonderful. Someone on the set asked me if I was scared, but it never even occurred to me." Shelley added, "There is a lot about Charlie's Angels that's confining. You'd be trying too hard, if you try to do too much. It's a very charming, one-hour piece of entertaining fluff. Try to make it anything else, and you'd fall on your face." But being a TV star on a hit TV series had it's pros and cons. Yes, fame was guaranteed, but then there was also all the gossip and rumors, such as -the Angels talked to each other only when it was in the script, -when one Angel emerged from her trailer in a stunning outfit, the others ran back to top it, -that Shelley was so ugly in the morning  before makeup that nobody would look at her, -that she was going to be fired soon, so none of the previous rumors mattered anyhow. Shelley's response to all of them was, "All a crock of you-know-what. But... yet... some of those stories do hurt." She was just a hard-working actress making the most of a good opportunity that had fallen on her lap after all.

Shelley was THE quintessential Charlie Girl and appeared in many, many ads for the brand. In 1977, she appeared in a newspaper ad for Charlie called "Charlie's Body Language."

The 8-ounce container came with its own convenient pump and was both handy and ready-to-use. Valued at $8, it was available for just $2.75 for any $4.00 or more purchase from the Charlie collection. And, of course, Shelley appeared in the ad, Charlie Girl gorgeous as always.

So Glamorous

Shelley with Cheryl Ladd and Jaclyn Smith

in a glam promo pic for Charlie's Angels, 1979

Shelley was already a Supermodel when she was cast in the hit TV series Charlie's Angels in 1979, for its 4th season. She was known all over the world as THE fabulous Charlie Girl, Revlon's "it" girl. And the headline "THE Charlie Girl Becomes A Charlie's Angel" was just what the show needed to gain even more viewers and popularity. Everyone loved THE Charlie Girl and was excited to see her fight crime alongside incumbent Angels Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd. For the 4th  season, the Angels were going to be the most fashionable crime-fighters on TV. "We're bringing back the glamour," executive producer Aaron Spelling proclaimed. "Suddenly, it's 'in' to be well-dressed. I'd love to see Charlie's Angels become a fashion plate show," Spelling told People magazine in 1979.

The wardrobe budget was increased to $20,000 per episode and each Angel went through eight costume changes per episode. The fashions they wore for the season were the very latest. Also, for promotional purposes, five different pic sets were taken where the Angels were decked out in the latest fashion concoctions - [1] skin tight spandex disco pants, [2] jewel-colored satin robes, [3] chic casual day outfits, [4] sumptuous evening gowns by Nolan Miller, and [5] full-length fur coats (the most glamorous thing any woman could ever own at the time - PETA wasn't in existence yet). The promotional pics appeared on newspapers and magazines all over the world; and the Angels never looked so gorgeous and so glamorous.

The 1977 Woman

Shelley on the cover

of Women Today magazine, June 1977

Shelley was on the cover of the premiere issue of Women Today back in August of 1977. With the success of her 1976 Charlie perfume commercial, she had become the embodiment the new independent young woman - sexy, gorgeous, free, confident and successful. THE Charlie Girl that Shelley portrayed/projected was a woman who had it all. And her 30-second spot did a lot more than promote perfume. It affected many women, made them think that they too could be Charlie Girls, that they too could have it all. Even the young Oprah Winfrey wanted to be a Charlie Girl. As Oprah confessed in 2008 when Shelley appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, "I wanted to stride like her with confidence. I wanted to be this fabulous." (For more, check out: Shelley and Oprah 1, Shelley and Oprah 2 and Shelley on Oprah) So it's only appropriate for Shelley to have graced the cover of this magazine.

Angels And Rumors

Charlie's latest Angel team

on a tabloid cover, 1979

In 1979, Shelley was proclaimed as Charlie's newest Angel and she became a Hollywood superstar virtually overnight. Her face appeared on magazines and newspapers around the world and her casting was even mentioned in the evening news. "I couldn't believe it. What was I doing in the evening news?" Shelley exclaimed, surprised. She joined the cast of one of the biggest hit shows on TV for its 4th season - joining incumbent Angels Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd. Her first episode was a cross-over between Charlie's Angels and another hit TV show The Love Boat; and it was partly filmed in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. "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 said when they arrived in St. Thomas.

a tabloid writeup

about Charlie's latest Angel team, 1979

But as with the past three seasons of the series, rumors of catfights and jealousy was prevalent. The press, especially the tabloid press, claimed that the new Angels team wasn't getting along. They said Jaclyn Smith felt "double-crossed" for not being consulted on scripts, wardrobe and the selection of Shelley (see above). They said Cheryl and her husband David Ladd felt that blonde Shelley would take away attention from blonde Cheryl; and that petite Cheryl was totally intimidated by the choice of long-legged Shelley as the new Angel (For more, check out: Set in Turmoil). They said that Shelley wanted to make Jaclyn and Cheryl her slaves (For more, check out: Angel No. 5 in '79). They even said that the filming of Shelley's first episode was jinxed (see above); that it was plagued with mishaps and bad omens.

episode "Love Boat Angels"

But the truth, it seems, is less exciting. Jaclyn Smith, who was consulted on the final selection of the new Angel, recommended Shelley. Jaclyn said, "I selected her because she was spunky and a perfect fill-in for Kate." She added, "I feel good about her. I think the three of us are going to get along great." Cheryl Ladd said, "Shelley seemed like a doll and we were going to have a lot of fun working together." And Shelley's fondest memory of Charlie's Angels was the first time she met Jaclyn and Cheryl. She said they were both so nice to her. To address the rumors, Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd talked to Charlie's Angels executive producer Aaron Spelling and convinced him to throw a cocktail party for the TV critics of America. The party (which was graced by the entire cast and the executive producers of the show) was held in Los Angeles (when the cast and crew returned from St. Thomas) and formally introduced Shelley to the press. It it was meant to put an end to all the talks of discord among the new Angels team. As for Shelley's first episode "Love Boat Angels," it topped the Nielsen ratings when it was finally aired.

Charlie's Angels Cocktail Party

cocktail party, June 1979

"Who is going to be Charlie's newest Angel?" That was the question in everyone's mind in 1979. And in late-May of 1979, it was finally answered; the new Angel had been cast. THE effervescent Charlie Girl Shelley Hack was officially joining Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd to complete Charlie's newest Angel triumvirate. Shelley was hounded by the paparazzi from then on. She was Hollywood's newest "it girl" and she appeared in virtually every newspaper and magazine around the world. Shelley said, "It has been quite a whirl." Jaclyn Smith said, "I feel good about her. I think the three of us are going to get along great." Cheryl Ladd said, "Shelley seems like a terrific girl. I think she's good and I'll do everything I can to make her feel at home." Everything was going along well with the new Angel team; yet rumors of catfights and jealousy (which unfairly plagued the series since its debut) still persisted and was being written about in the press.

To address the rumors, Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd talked to Charlie's Angels executive producer Aaron Spelling and convinced him to throw a cocktail party for the TV critics of America. The party would formally introduce Shelley Hack to the press and hopefully put an end to all the talks of discord among the new Angel team. It was held at ABC's West Coast offices at the ABC Entertainment Center in Century City, Los Angeles. Jaclyn, Cheryl and Shelley attended the party as well as their other cast member David Doyle who played John Bosley in the series. Aaron Spelling, his business partner Leonard Goldberg and the ABC network (where Charlie's Angels was aired) corporate brass were all in attendance as well. The Angels cast had just returned from filming at the U.S. Virgin Islands and they all raved about how much fun they had shooting the season's first episode.
