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.

The Angels Jinx

Shelley in a promo pic from 1980

Charlie's Angels is an unforgettable and groundbreaking TV series and it aired from 1976 to 1981. The premise was simple - three beautiful women working as detectives for a millionaire recluse named Charles Townsend. They got their assignments via speaker phone and weren't allowed any face time with the boss for his protection as well as their own. The series broke new ground because aside from having women as leads (a first for TV), it portrayed women as buddies, helping each other through jams and having each other's backs. It portrayed women as independent, liberated and capable of taking care of themselves without the help of men - which was perfect for the time when women's lib was at its peak. Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett (then Majors) and Jaclyn Smith played the first ever team of Angels in season 1 (1976). Cheryl Ladd, Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts followed suit in seasons 2 (1977), 4 (1979) and 5 (1980) respectively. The series was a phenomenal hit around the world, and all the Angels garnered their own fan following and became superstars in their own right.

a writeup about Charlie's Angels from 1980

In 1980, when Tanya became the newest Angel, some observed that becoming a Charlie's Angel seemed to be a double-edged sword. Yes, instant worldwide fame was guaranteed; but then, along with that, came havoc on the Angels' personal and professional lives. Farrah Fawcett was first to leave the show after season 1 due to the pressure it was putting on her marriage to Lee Majors. Her megastardom put too much strain on their marriage; they were divorced by 1980. By 1980, Farrah also had a hard time finding projects that could propel her career to the next level. After season 3, Kate Jackson was next to go, as she felt really bad for not being given time off her Angels filming sked to film the movie Kramer vs. Kramer with Dustin Hoffman (the part of Joanna Kramer was written for her). Meryl Streep replaced her in the film (and later won an Oscar for the role). The disappointment tainted Kate's enthusiasm for the series; her unhappiness led to problems and to her eventual departure from the show. Like Farrah, by 1980, Kate had a difficult time finding that next career-boosting project. Furthermore, her 2-year marriage to actor Andrew Stevens was beginning to fizzle out; they were divorced in 1981.

a writeup about Charlie's Angels from 1980

Jaclyn Smith's career was going nowhere either. Like Kate, she had to turn down the leading role in the James Bond movie Moonraker as filming it would conflict with her Angels filming sked. And by 1980, her 2-year marriage to actor Dennis Cole was on the rocks; they likewise were divorced in 1981. Cheryl Ladd's career was going nowhere either. Her sexy image may have propelled her to superstardom, but it also made it difficult for her to transition into a serious actress. Her 8-year marriage to David Ladd couldn't survive her stardom either; they were divorced in 1980. By 1980, Shelley Hack was the latest Angel to fly the coup. The Supermodel joined the show a year before and became a Hollywood superstar overnight. But as season 4 progressed, she was consistently given little to say and do. Consequently, viewers lost interest, and the show began to slip in the ratings. When she was finally given "equal status" with the other Angels, it was too late. She left the show in 1980; and her romance with writer/director Nicholas Meyer fizzled out along the way. Tanya Roberts joined the show in 1980, amidst talks about the show being jinxed. But she was determined to break the cycle... as well as keep her 7-year marriage to Barry Roberts (which she ultimately did).

Luxurious Apron

a closeup of Shelley from a spread

on Budget Catalog, 1978

Shelley appeared in both the ads and the catalogs of the Budget Uniform Center, a company that specialized in uniforms for professional women, as well as men. The catalog also featured various costumes and themed apparel for both genders. In 1978, Shelley appeared on the pages of Budget Catalog, in the spread called, "Budget's Patchwork Party." It featured wardrobe pieces that were put together in a patchwork-style. Shelley wore the Apron in a luxurious one-piece country patchwork print. It was trimmed with ruffles around the skirt and had ruffles as perky shoulder epaulets. Underneath it, she wore a plain white short-sleeved mini-dress with collar. And Shelley looked fun and luxurious at the same time.

Me, Myself & I Movie A

screen captures from the film feature

Me, Myself and I, 1992

Shelley starred alongside JoBeth Williams and George Segal in the 1992 comedy Me, Myself & I. JoBeth Williams played Diane, a woman living in a New York apartment building suffering from paranoia and nymphomania. She has two personalities the growling, howling "Crazy Diane" and the normal, level-headed "Sane Diane" - and they're constantly arguing and bickering. Her next-door neighbor, Hollywood TV-writer Buddy Arnett (George Segal) is "Crazy Diane's" peeve; he's constantly the subject of her commentaries on sex, violence and invisible persecutors. But when "Crazy Diane" manages to seduce Buddy, "Sane Diane" takes over and the two fall in love. But Buddy's estranged lesbian wife, Hollywood superstar Jennifer (Shelley Hack), reappears in Buddy's life and comes over from California, which rattles "Sane Diane" and so "Crazy Diane" makes a comeback. Don Calfa, Betsy Lynn George, Bill Macy and Sharon McNight round out the rest of the cast. The movie was the directorial debut of Cuban-American visual designer Pablo Ferro. 

screen captures from the film feature

Me, Myself & I, 1992

The movie is quite a fun ride. JoBeth Williams' Diane is a kooky character prone to paranoid outbursts and hilarious guttural sounds that she can't seem to control. George Segal is amusing as Buddy, an everyman who finds himself in love with a woman with multiple personalities and is trying to make sense of what he has gotten himself into... aside from trying to get over his marriage to a wife who clearly prefers the same sex. Shelley Hack is funny as the narcissistic Hollywood star Jennifer, who will do anything to get what she wants (her reactions to Diane's growls are hilarious). The chemistry between the three main characters is terrific. The scene where the two women finally meet and all three main characters come together is hysterical. There is a comfortable rapport between JoBeth and George; and a comfortable rapport between Shelley and George as well (They were co-stars in the TV movie Trackdown: Finding the Goodbar Killer in 1983). Me, Myself & I was released in the United States in May of 1992; and it was screened at the Cannes Film Festival that same year. The movie was released in VHS format in 1993.

Looking and Feeling Charlie

Shelley in a promo pics

for Charlie perfume and cosmetics, 1979

Shelley first became famous in the 1970s as THE Charlie Girl. In 1976, she was hand-picked to represent the Revlon Charlie brand, as she was the embodiment the brand's ideal – gorgeous, sexy and young. Makeup artist Rick Gillette recalls, "Shelley Hack was really the perfect girl for Charlie. I remember when Revlon creative director David Leddick had Steen Svensson shoot the first presentation with her that got her the contract." They shot a commercial with her and when it debuted, it was an immediate and immense hit. By 1977, Charlie became the #1 fragrance in the world (the first American-made international bestseller) and Revlon sales figures passed the $1 billion mark. And Shelley THE Charlie Girl catapulted to icon. 

In 1979, Shelley appeared in an ad for Charlie's latest promo in Australia called "Looking Good, Feeling Great." It was open to all the fun, free, independent and individual Charlie Girls down under. It had $1000 worth of fabulous prizes, along with three grand prizes. And Shelley was gorgeous in the promo ad, as always. For more, check out: Looking Good, Feeling Great

Shelley made a very rare appearance at the Hollywood Collector’s Show in 2009.

Shelley who had been previously very busy with SHMC (Shelley Hack Media Consultancy) was now back in the United States and ready to take on a new career (she and her husband Harry Winer eventually established SMASH MEDIA Inc. where they are currently co-presidents). Many fans were excited because it was the first time in many years that Shelley had gone out to meet, chat, and take pictures with them.  Also at the event was her fellow Charlie's Angel Tanya Roberts whom Shelley got to meet for the very first time. It was a historic event in Charlie's Angels history and many fans were thrilled to meet and be with both Angels.

More True Stories Collections

Shelley (and William Devane) in promo pics

for Freefall: Flight 174, 1995

Shelley starred in the TV movie Freefall: Flight 174 in 1995. Originally titled Falling from the Sky: Flight 174, it was based on a true story. The film was a dramatization of Air Canada Flight 143, the Canadian domestic passenger flight between Montreal and Edmonton nicknamed the "Gimli Glider." It was a brand-new Boeing 767 that, in 1983, lost fuel mid-flight and "freefalled" its way to safety. The flight crew was able to successfully glide the plane to an emergency landing at a former Royal Canadian Air Force base in Gimli, Manitoba, which had been converted to a racetrack, Gimli Motorsports Park. There were no serious injuries to passengers or persons on the ground, and only minor damage to the aircraft. The film is gripping and keeps you on your seat.

Freefall: Flight 174 was included

in the 10 Extraordinary True Stories

DVD set, 2014

In the film, Shelley starred as as Flight Attendant Lynn Brown. William Devane played Captain Robert Pearson, a former glider pilot who has performed many deadstick landings. Mariette Hartley played Beth Pearson, Robert's wife. Nicholas Turturro played Air traffic controller Al Williams. Scott Hylands played First Officer Maurice Quintal. In 2014, Freefall: Flight 174 was included in a 10 True Stories Collection DVD set. It was included in the 10 Extraordinary True Stories DVD set along with First Do No Harm (Meryl Streep), Sharing the Secret (Mare Winningham), The Other Woman (Jill Eikenberry, Lloyd Bridges), Behind The Mask (Donald Sutherland, Matthew Fox), Trial by Fire (Keith Carradine), Deadly Whispers (Tony Danza), To Live For a.k.a. My Last Love (Nancy Travis), Death In The Shadows (Peter Strauss), and Gone In The Night (Shannen Doherty).

Meeting Mrs. Ford

Shelley modeling in the mid-1970s

Shelley began modeling in late 1964. Shelley was discovered by A&P supermarket heir and publisher Huntington Hartford at a debutante ball when she was just 14 years old. It was her first time to be invited to one and her mother instructed Shelley, "If  any older men bother you, go powder your nose." And she kept powdering her nose all night because "A guy kept bothering me," Shelley said, "He kept coming up to ask, 'Have you ever thought of being a model?'" After careful consideration, and with the help of her mother, a former Conover model, she finally decided it was a better summer job than waitressing. They went to went to New York to meet with Eileen Ford (a friend of her mother's) for representation. At the end of the meeting, Mrs. Ford turned to Shelley and said, "We'll be expecting you at 9 o’clock tomorrow." And the rest is modeling history. (For more, check out: Best-Built Fords)

Superstar Angel

Shelley with Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd

on the cover of TV Times, 1979

Shelley became Angel no. 5 in 1979 when she joined the cast of Charlie's Angels. Her character was Tiffany Welles, a classy Boston-bred policewoman who was the daughter of one of Charlie's oldest friends. She was chosen from among a bevy of beautiful actresses which included Priscilla Presley, Kim Basinger, Michelle Pfeiffer, Connie Sellecca and Shari Belafonte. In May of 1979, Bond Girl Barbara Bach was announced as the newest Angel. But it was quickly retracted and, by late-May of that year, Shelley was announced as Charlie's newest Angel. The newest heavenly recruit came with the approval of not just executive producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg but also of incumbent Angels Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd.

a writeup about Charlie's Angels, 1979

The news of Shelley's casting quickly spread around the world and writeups about her were translated in many languages. She became Hollywood's newest Superstar even before she filmed one frame for the hit TV series; and she was written about in Latin America, Europe, Asia and all over. Images of her appeared everywhere and everyone was excited to see THE Charlie Girl as Charlie's newest Angel. And the paparazzi relentlessly pursued her after the announcement of her Angel-dom. "I was totally unprepared for the press 'bonanza' which followed," she said on Jane Pauley's show Time and Again in 2000. "I was surprised by the amount of attention," she said. "I had press people crawling in my window," she told E! in 2002.

Original And Totally Unforgettable

a recent short writeup about Shelley, 2024

(and modeling pics of hers from the 1980s)

note: just one correction,

Shelley is a blue-eyed blonde

When Shelley graduated from Smith College in 1970, she decided to become a model full-time. Represented by the top model management company, Ford Models Inc., she began her transition from teen model to top model (and eventually to Supermodel.) Her then boyfriend, photographer Steen Svensson, and make-up artist extraordinaire Rick Gillette came up with test shots of Shelley in the early '70s with the hope that the images could get her on the pages of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar - which eventually happened. She appeared on both the US and international editions of the magazines. According to Rick, "In the early 70’s before "Charlie", before "Charlie’s Angels", Shelley Hack was an ex-teen model looking for a more sophisticated look to get her into Vogue. I was creating a portfolio with the same goal in mind." By the late 1970s and in the 1980s, Shelley was a certified Supermodel and was one of the highest-paid in the modeling industry.

a recent writeup about the Supermodels

of the 1980s, 2024

Aside from her role as Tiffany Welles in the hit TV series Charlie's Angels, Shelley is widely known as THE Charlie Girl - Revlon Charlie's glamorous and fabulous "It" Girl. Shelley was and always will be THE quintessential Charlie Girl. Her image embodied all the ideals of the brand - she was independent, bright, chic and confident. She catapulted the brand (as well as herself) to iconic status when she began endorsing it in 1976 and everyone who lived through the era remembers how much they emulated THE Charlie Girl. (For more, check out: The Woman They Aspired To Be) And Shelley's impact as THE Charlie Girl was so inspirational that it resonated beyond the 1970s and 1980s and has left a lasting legacy on generations of not just models but of women all over the world. So much so that she was included in the 25 Legendary Supermodels From the 80's list (that came out this August 2024) - along with Cindy Crawford, Patti Hansen, Iman, Cheryl Tiegs, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Claudia Schiffer, Elle Macpherson, Cristina Ferrare, Tatjana Patitz, Paulina Porizkova, Carol Alt, Brooke Shields, Jerry Hall, Kim Alexis, Yasmin Le Bon, Janice Dickinson, Christie Brinkley, Ines de La Fressange, Estelle Lefebure, Kara Young, Isabella Rossellini, and Kathy Ireland. They are all legendary models who are definitely originals and totally unforgettable.

10 True Stories Collections

a closeup of Shelley from a publicity pic

from the mid/late '80s

In 1993, Shelley starred in the made-for-TV movie Shattering the Silence (a.k.a. Not in My Family and Breaking the Silence). It was aired on the ABC network on February 28, 1993; and, aside from Shelley, it starred Joanna Kerns, Michael Brandon, Richard Gilliland and acting veterans Dina Merrill and George Grizzard. The movie tackled the very sensitive issue of sexual abuse within a family. Postpartum depression awakens memories in Veronica Ricci (Kerns) about being sexually molested by her father, Malcolm Worth (Grizzard) when she was a child. She runs to her husband Ted (Brandon) and later her other siblings Becky (Hack) and Tom (Gilliland) for more information as well as help. She's also afraid that their father might be causing the next generation the same trauma. Meanwhile, their mother Clair (Merrill) is in denial of the entire affair. The film explores the effects of child sexual abuse in a family and the repercussions and pain that is left in its wake. The film is very well cast, very well paced and a really good watch. (note: Shelley's performance in the film was moving and poignant, especially in the scene where she cries after seeing the stuffed animal that figures so much in her character's sordid past. Her soundless, helpless and painful cry is just heartbreaking.)

10 True Stories Collection DVD sets, 2011

In 2011, Shattering the Silence was included in three separate 10 True Stories Collection DVD sets. It was included in the 10 Exceptional True Stories Collection DVD set along with First Do No Harm (Meryl Streep), Fatal Love a.k.a. Live for: The Alison Gertz Story (Molly Ringwald), Gone In The Night (Shannen Doherty), People Next Door (Faye Dunaway), To Live For a.k.a. My Last Love (Nancy Travis), Deep In My Heart (Anne Bancroft), Dead Before Dawn (which starred Shelley's co-Angel Cheryl Ladd), Death In The Shadows (Peter Strauss), and Judgement Day: The Ellie Nesler Story (Christine Lahti). It was also included in the 10 Amazing True Stories Collection DVD set and the 10 Of The Best True Stories Ever Made Collection DVD set. Both sets also featured First Do No Harm, Fatal Love, To Live For, Deep In My Heart, Dead Before Dawn, Death In The Shadows, Judgement Day: The Ellie Nesler Story; but instead of Gone In The Night and People Next Door, they both had  Behind The Mask (Donald Sutherland, Matthew Fox) and False Arrest (Donna Mills, Robert Wagner) as part of the 10 films. All three DVD sets feature exceptionally well-made, well-acted, and oh-so-compelling TV movies.

Woman's World

a closeup of Shelley from the cover

of Woman's World Easy Diet Ideas magazine, 1972

Shelley appeared on many magazine covers and pages during here tenure as Supermodel. In 1972, she appeared on the cover of Woman's World Easy Diet Ideas, their Spring/Summer issue. The mag featured writeups on diet and exercise, tips on losing weight, skin care regiments, the latest in makeup and hairdos, as well as celebrity interviews. Woman's World "The Magazine for Today's Homemaker" was a magazine that catered to women and women's interests at the time (before the yuppie phenomenon of the 1980s). It featured tips and writeups on subjects that would have been of interest to married, stay-at-home women. Aside from Woman's World magazine, other more specialized titles also by Woman's World came out - like Woman's World Easy Diet Ideas, Woman's World Home Sewing, Woman's World Knit & Crochet, Woman's World Needle Arts, Woman's World Family Crafts and Woman's World Christmas Crafts, to name a few.

An Angels Catch Up 3

a pic of Shelley taken during the filming

of the Charlie's Angels episode

"Angels on the Street," 1979

Charlie's Angels captured the imagination of the entire world when it first aired in March of 1976 (the pilot episode) and fans were saddened by the news of its sudden cancellation in June of 1981. All in all, six women had the privilege of being part of the phenomenal hit TV series - Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd, Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts. Interest in all the Angels didn't end when the series ended though. In fact, writeups about them would crop up every few years - like a sort of catch up on what each Angel had been up to. In 1983, an Italian mag featured the Angels in a writeup called "'Charlie's Angels' Addio" or "'Charlie's Angels' Goodbye", with updates on what each of the actresses had been busy with as of late. The first season of Charlie's Angels debuted on Italian TV in 1979; and the final season was aired in 1983, with the final episode aired in May of that year. So by that time, it had been two years since the series had been cancelled on American TV.

By then, Kate Jackson had starred in the feature films Dirty Tricks and the controversial film Making Love and was back on TV via the hit TV series Scarecrow and Mrs. King. Farrah Fawcett was proving she had acting chops by starring in Murder in Texas and later in the off-Broadway play Extremities. Jaclyn Smith had starred in the hit teleflicks Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy and Rage of Angels. Cheryl Ladd had starred in the big screen flick Now and Forever, the hit teleflick Grace Kelly and was seen in the stage play The Hasty Heart. Shelley Hack received praise for her performances in the stage plays Vanities and Born Yesterday, in the Martin Scorsese feature film The King of Comedy and the TV series Cutter to Houston. Tanya Roberts had starred in the feature films The Beastmaster and Hearts and Armour and had starred in Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer. Even after the series had ended, the Angels still had the attention and adulation of the entire world.
