Birthday Girls

Shelley and Cheryl Ladd
at The Love Boat Honors Helen Hayes event,
Feb 2, 1980

Shelley joined the cast of Charlie's Angels in 1979. In May of that year, she was chosen by producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg to replace Kate Jackson in the hit TV series. Spelling and Goldberg were looking for someone long and lean like Kate. They were looking for a girl with "the right bubble and intelligence." The new Angel, Tiffany Welles, was written as a Smith College graduate, a girl from the East who was not a voluptuous sexpot... and Shelley fit the bill perfectly. Plus, she came with the approval of her future co-Angels Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd. Jaclyn said, "I feel good about her. I think the three of us are going to get along great." Cheryl 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." In fact, Shelley said that her fondest memory of Charlie's Angels was the first time she met Jaclyn and Cheryl. Both of them were so nice to her.

Cheryl Ladd greeted Shelley
a "Happy happy birthday"
and wished her "a blessed day"
at the Shelley Hack fan page's birthday post on FB
Belated Happy Birthday to Cheryl Ladd as well!!!

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 (Van Dyke's and Caesar's characters) the movie was re-titled My Secret Angel then finally Found Money. The film was about computer expert Max Shepherd and security guard Sam Green, 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.

Found Money, 1983

Shelley had a very promising acting career immediately after leaving Charlies Angels in 1980. She honed her acting skills on stage 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 was great opposite George Segal in the TV movie Trackdown: Finding the Goodbar Killer. And she held her own in the telefilm 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.

Misses' Shift Dress

of the Seventeen Dating Guide booklet, 1966

Shelley was one of the models who regularly appeared on the pages of Seventeen magazine since the beginning of her modeling career. In fact, one of her first covers was for the November 1964 issue of the mag (For more, check out: Seventeen Cover). She also regularly appeared on other Seventeen magazine outings such as their booklets/guide books. In 1966, she appeared on the cover of the Seventeen Dating Guide booklet. (For more, check out: Dating Guide 1966). She also appeared in ads for Seventeen. In the 1967 ad with the tagline "You've Arrived," a pic of Shelley being admired by several male models was featured (it's from the same pic set used for the Seventeen Dating Guide booklet cover). In the ad, she wore McCall's pattern number 8548. It was a misses' shift dress that was gathered at the neck and sleeves with self fabric and was above-the-knee in length. Matching hose and pumps finished her look. Fancy earrings and a matching bracelet accessorized her look. And Shelley looked like she had definitely arrived.

Blamed

Shelley in a promo pic from 1979

Shelley became Angel no. 5 in 1979 when she joined the cast of Charlie's Angels. Shelley was already a Supermodel when she joined the hit TV series and was known worldwide as THE Charlie Girl in those Revlon Charlie TV commercials and print ads. She auditioned, went though a screen test, and even a personality test; but what really got her the part, it seems, was the headline "THE Charlie Girl becomes Charlie's newest Angel" which was going through Angels exec producer Aaron Spelling's head as he was choosing TV's latest cherub. Also, Shelley had good rapport with her new co-Angels Cheryl Ladd and Jaclyn Smith; plus, the three photographed really well together. When Shelley's debut episode "Love Boat Angels" aired, it topped the Nielsen ratings. But after three episodes at the top 10, the ratings began descending to the 20s, then to the 30s. 

a writeup about Shelley from 1980

Shelley was blamed for the decline in the ratings that season. But was it really her fault? The show had already declined the previous season (from TV's Top 4 overall in 1977 to TV's Top 12 overall in 1978); yet the show was never improved script-wise or plot-wise. They said she couldn't act; but she wasn't bad in the TV movie Death Car on the Freeway and in her Love Boat guesting (she was quite impressive in this one) - both of which came out during her tenure as an Angel. She wasn't given much to say or do during the first half of the season - when she was hot property and everyone wanted a piece of her. Only when the ratings began to go south was she finally given more lines and more significance in the plot - and she wasn't bad at all. You could actually see her taking over from Sabrina Duncan as the head Angel in her last episode "One Love... Two Angels: Part 2". The big question is why wasn't she given a chance to shine during the first half of the season - when she was the hottest name in Hollywood and everyone wanted to see and hear more from her? It was Charlie's Angels after all, and she could obviously handle the material. (For its fourth season, Charlie's Angels finished within TV's Top 20 shows overall... not bad for a four year old show).

Body Language

for Charlie perfume and cosmetics, 1978

1973 saw the introduction of the Charlie fragrance, tailor-made by Revlon for the modern, working woman. In 1976, after a string of other models, Shelley signed a ground-breaking exclusive modeling contract with Revlon. She was hand-picked to represent the Revlon Charlie brand, as she was the embodiment the brand's ideal – gorgeous, sexy and young. Renowned hair stylist and 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." And Shelley became a sort of poster girl for the modern, gorgeous, sexy, young woman in charge of her own life; and everyone wanted to be a Charlie Girl.

for Charlie perfume and cosmetics, 1978

Shelley, THE quintessential Charlie Girl, appeared in many, many ads for the brand. In 1978, she appeared in a newspaper ad for Charlie called "Charlie's Body Language." It was for a promo for Charlie Body Silk, Charlie's body lotion that had that familiar Charlie fragrance as it softened dry skin all over the body. The 8-ounce container came with its own convenient pump and was both handy and ready-to-use. Valued at $8.00, it was available for just $3.00 for any $5.00 or more purchase from the Charlie or Chaz collection. And, of course, an artwork of Shelley appeared in the ad, Charlie Girl gorgeous as always.

Stage Acclaim

for the stage play Vanities, 1980

Shelley starred (alongside Meredith Baxter Birney and Annette O'Toole) in the Jack Heifner play Vanities in November of 1980 at the Westwood Playhouse in Los Angeles. It was filmed for TV as part of HBO's Standing Room Only series and was aired in 1981. Shelley immediately jumped at the opportunity to play Mary in Vanities after she left Charlie's Angels. "I didn't want to leave Los Angeles without doing something good," she explained. Although she had no prior stage experience, she was ready to take on the challenge. "I don't know how I got the guts to go right into a play immediately after leaving the series," Shelley said. "I started doing theater for the first time in my life although I'd never been on a stage before." But her gamble paid off. Shelley won a critical acclaim for her role.

Shelley appeared on the pages of the Carefree Patterns From McCall's catalog, the January 1973 edition. The big book catalog featured the latest fashion patterns from McCall's for that season. Shelley appeared on several spreads throughout the catalog. In one spread, she wore pattern number 3865. It was a smock-style above-the-knee length dress with a rounded neckline, a slit on the chest and long sleeves. Underneath it, she wore a long-sleeved turtleneck sweater. Gold earring and a gold bracelet finished her look. And Shelley looked ready for an evening of fun.

A Mini Biography of Ms. Shelley Hack

Shelley Marie Hack was born on July 6, 1947 in White Plains, New York, and was raised in Greenwich, Connecticut. She graduated from Greenwich Academy and went off to Smith College where she earned a degree in history. But while still in school, as a teen, she was discovered by A&P heir Huntington Hartford who urged her to try modeling. So her mom took her to see model agent Eileen Ford and she began to model part-time, during her summer breaks. Subsequently, after graduating from Smith, she signed on full-time at Ford Models Inc., and became one of the top models in the United States. In 1976, she jumped to Supermodel status when she began endorsing Revlon Charlie perfume, cosmetics and various beauty products. She was one of first batch of models who were able to negotiate previously unheard of, lucrative and exclusive million-dollar deals with giant cosmetics companies. The worldwide popularity she gained as THE Charlie Girl brought her to the attention of Hollywood. Woody Allen cast her in a bit part in his 1977 Academy Award-winning movie Annie Hall. She got her first leading lady role in the film If Ever I See You Again and went on to star in various big and small screen projects. In 1979, Aaron Spelling cast her in his hit series Charlie's Angels and she rose to Hollywood superstardom overnight. Although she left after one season, the publicity she gained from the series kept her in the public eye in the 1980s. Shelley then tackled stage via plays like Vanities (1981), Born Yesterday (1982), and Close Ties (1983), and was critically praised for her efforts. This led to roles in movies like Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy (1983) and cult classics like Troll (1986) and The Stepfather (1987), as well as the lead in two other TV series, Cutter to Houston (1983) and Jack and Mike (1986-87). She married director Harry Winer and in 1990 gave birth to their daughter, Devon Rose. In the '90s, Shelley began delving in grassroots politics and political fund-raising. She would receive her MBA from the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) and, in 1997, she formed Shelley Hack Media Consultancy (SHMC), a media consultancy firm that worked internationally in pre- and post-conflict countries. She would go into war-torn countries and help them establish democracy through media. She began in Bosnia, producing their first-ever televised presidential debates. She became a member of the Pacific Council on International Policy (PCIP) whose mission was to give a more effective voice to West Coast perspectives on critical global policy issues. She worked extensively in Eastern Europe and Western Asia and traveled all over the world. She also spent two years working with the largest media conglomerate in Eastern Europe helping to develop and build the infrastructure for a new state of the art film studio complex in the region. After ten years of doing that, Shelley settled down in California, and in 2010, she and her husband formed Smash Media Productions where she acts as co-president. Through Smash Media, she has produced documentaries like Citizen of the World (2010) and Maharajah of the Road (2012), feature films like The Expatriate/Erased (2012) and The Doorman (2020) and several movies for the Hallmark Channel [Lucky Christmas (2011), Perfect Match (2015), A Bramble House Christmas (2017), Falling for You (2018), Holiday Hearts (2019), Autumn in the City (2022), and Long Lost Christmas (2022)]. On her own, she has produced Summer of Dreams (2017) and Christmas in Evergreen (2017), also for Hallmark. In 2021, Shelley and Harry sold their house in Santa Monica and moved/retired to the east (to Connecticut) to probably be in closer proximity to their daughter Devon who is now based in New York.

No Longer Beautiful And Silent

a pic of Shelley from 1979

Shelley became Charlie's Angel no.5 in 1979. She was already a Supermodel when she joined the cast, one of the highest paid models in the entire world. She was known as THE Charlie Girl and was the image model and spokesperson for the no. 1 Revlon brand. It was Shelley's first time to be cast as a regular in a TV series; and she knew that when she joined Angels she would be doing a lot of press and promotional stuff for the series; and she felt she was ready for it (She had done a lot press as THE Charlie Girl). But what what happened was beyond her expectation. Upon the announcement of her casting, she was hounded by the press. "I was totally unprepared for the press "bonanza" that followed," she said on Jane Pauley's show Time and Again in 2000. "I had press people crawling in my windows," she told E! in 2002.

a writeup about Shelley
from the French-language mag Cine Revue,
August, 1979

Shelley's Angels casting made news all over the world; and everybody wanted to know more about Charlie's newest cherub. By that time she was already a Supermodel; and she felt she was ready to face the spotlight of Hollywood superstardom. Writeups about her casting appeared in many magazines around the world (It was even mentioned in the evening news. "I couldn't believe it. What was I doing in the evening news," Shelley exclaimed at the time.) In August of 1979, a short writeup about her appeared oon the pages of the French mag Cine Revue (Cinema Review). It translates as follows:

The New "Charlie's Angel"!

Here's a new "Charlie's Angel"! After Cheryl Ladd, who replaced Farrah Fawcett-Majors, Shelley Hack makes her entrance into the famous trio of skirt-wearing detectives who, from now on, like the three in The Musketeers... will be four! Indeed, Shelley isn't replacing anyone: she'll be a new character, that of the daughter of a police chief, a friend of the famous boss Charlie. Shelley Hack is making her debut in front of the cameras because, until now, she's only been a model and cover girl. She's shot a few TV commercials for perfumes but had no lines to say.

the pic caption translates as follows:
From now on, Shelley will no longer be just beautiful and silent...

Make A Fashion Smash

a closeup of Shelley
from a leaflet for Malina yarns, 1972

In the 1970s, after finishing her schooling, Shelley signed on full-time at her modeling agency, Ford Models Inc. She eventually became one of the highest-paid Supermodels of the era. She modeled clothes, cosmetics, bath products, furs – almost everything. She reached the very top of her profession. When asked how she did it, Shelley's deduced, "I was a success because I was hard-working, professional, bright. I looked at the business and identified the markets. I knew the key was that they always wanted someone new. I decided to hit one market one year, then cut my hair and hit another. Then let it grow and hit television. I thought it through. The game plan can apply to any business, but especially to one where you're the product. You just have to become objective about yourself."

Shelley appeared on a leaflet
for Malina yarns, 1972

In 1972, Shelley appeared on a leaflet for Malina yarns. Malina Company Inc. was a company that produced quality yarn for knitting. Aside from the yarn, Malina came up with leaflets that showcased what could be created with their product. In 1972, Shelley appeared on the cover of Malina leaflet 300 which stated, "MAKE A FASHION SMASH ... with new designs created exclusively in a new Malina blend of polyester and acrylic hand knitting yarn." On the cover, she wore the "3-piece fashion wow" - made up of a "skort" (a skirt and shorts combo) and a scarf - over dark-colored body stockings. And as always, Shelley looked Supermodel fabulous.

Please Stream Cutter to Houston

a closeup of Shelley from a promo pic
for Cutter to Houston, 1983

Shelley's second foray into series TV was Cutter to Houston. It was a short-lived TV series that began airing in the fall of 1983. It starred Shelley Hack, Jim Metzler, and Alec Baldwin as young doctors recruited to run a small hospital in the fictional rural town of Cutter, Texas. Although it received mixed reviews, it had great promise; plus, the cast had an easy rapport and had enough talent to carry an hour-long drama. Prior to the series, former Charlie's Angel Shelley Hack had already proven that she had acting chops, having received great reviews for her work on stage as well as on the big and small screens. Jim Metzler had a Golden Globe Award nomination under his belt for his supporting role in the 1982 feature film Tex. Alec Baldwin had come from his 1980-1982 stint in the NBC daytime soap opera The Doctors.

a writeup mentioning
Cutter to Houston, 1983

Cutter to Houston, which was aired Saturday nights, had a difficult time finding an audience. Aside from a bad time slot, it seemed to have lost network confidence early on... "sleeper hits" were still unheard of at the time. It was first aired on October 1, 1983; and after 4 original episodes, it was announced cancelled by October 29, 1983. Replays and three more original episodes were aired until December 31, 1983. There were two more completed episodes; but they weren't aired during the show's initial 1983 run. Its sudden cancelation was a disappointment to many fans. Let's hope the entire series is finally streamed somewhere.

Gorgeous in Nightwear

Spring and Summer 1976 catalog

Shelley appeared in many catalogs throughout her modeling career. One of them was JCPenney. She appeared in a spread on the JCPenney Spring and Summer 1976 catalog. In the spread called "Formfit Rogers: Nightwear Blossoms in Lilac and Buttercup," she wore a nightgown in a soft nylon tricot and with nylon lace trim. She wore the Long Gown, a nightgown with short and elasticized puffed sleeves, a high waist, button and bow trim, and a ruffled hem. It was good for traveling as it packed easily. It came in two colors... buttercup and lilac (Shelley wore the buttercup version). And Shelley was absolutely gorgeous n the spread.

Please Stream Jack and Mike

for their TV series Jack and Mike, 1986

Shelley's third foray into series TV was Jack and Mike in 1986. Executive producer David Gerber believed so much in Shelley that he wanted to give her her own TV series. It was initially called Jackie O'Shea, with Shelley in the title role; and Tom Mason was offered the role of Jackie's husband. After lots of talks with Gerber, Mason finally accepted; and it was retitled Our Kind of Town. When it aired, it was again retitled Jack and Mike... alluding to the names of the main characters Jackie Shea and her husband Mike Brennan. The pilot episode was originally aired in September 16, 1986 right after the hit TV series Moonlighting; and debuted to decent ratings. It also received decent reviews, with a few scathing writeups here and there. The series looked like it was in for a long run when it was suddenly canceled to the disappointment of fans. Let's hope the entire series is finally streamed somewhere.

The New Denim Look 4

Instruction Leaflet no. 111, 1972

Shelley appeared on many leaflets, booklets and brochures for various fashion companies during her tenure as Supermodel in the 1970s. One of them was for the Malina's New Denim Look leaflets. The leaflets promoted the Malina Denim Look yarn line (which was an acrylic and polyester blend) in dark, worn and faded blends to go with denim... by recommending 5 coordinates to crochet (instruction leaflet no. 111) and 5 accessories to crochet (instruction leaflet no. 112). Shelley appeared on the cover of both leaflets. On instruction leaflet no. 111, she wore the tie-dyed poncho and hat coordinating set. It was a denim-colored knitted poncho with fringed edges and a string-gathered neckline (that had knitted pompom balls at the ends of the sting). She wore it over a red turtleneck top and light-wash denim jeans outfit. The hat (a skull cap) was likewise denim-colored and knitted. And Shelley looked ruggedly chic and stylish.

Stunning And Beautiful

closeups of Shelley
from a couple of print ads
for Tel-A-Bride, 1973

Shelley appeared in many ads during her modeling days. One of them was for Tel-A-Bride, LTD. Tel-A-Bride was bridal salon chain that catered to the needs of every bride... from gowns to accessories to thoughtful and kind advice. Their shops were located in various parts of the US. Their advertisements as well as brochure-type advertisements appeared in many of the most popular bridal magazines like Modern Bride. In the 1973 February/March issue of Modern Bride, Shelley was featured in a brochure-type ad for Tel-A-Bride. She modeled two looks. One of which was a wedding gown, headpiece and veil by George Maurer for Maurer Originals. George Maurer was a wedding dress designer known for creating beautiful, well-fitted, and layered gowns that, at the same time, were practical and comfortable. Maurer Originals was a bridal wear company well known for their Chantilly lace, satin and net  gowns of this style. Another was a wedding gown by Fink Original. Fink Original was a bridal line that included gowns and wedding accessories. It was a line that specialized in  intricate details, luxurious fabrics, and timeless designs... combining classic elegance with modern aesthetics. In both looks, Shelley was stunning and beautiful.

A Very Pleasant Watch

a closeup of Shelley from a promo pic
for Bridesmaids, 1989

In 1989, Shelley appeared in the telefilm Bridesmaids along with Sela Ward, Brooke Adams and Stephanie Faracy. It was about a group of childhood friends who reunite at their childhood town to attend the wedding of a fifth friend. As they prepare for the ceremony, they rediscover their friendship, reveal their secrets and help each other find peace and happiness. The film is light and is a delight to watch. The main cast worked well together and got great support from Audra Lindley and Jack Coleman. It was first aired on February 21, 1989; and the telefilm  later became a staple on cable TV in the 1990s. It's been released on VHS format in the US and other parts of the world. It's a very pleasant watch and is highly recommended.

Successful Ford Model

Shelley's statistics/details as it appeared
in The Fords (their catalog of models),
Oct 1972

Shelley was one of the most successful models at the Ford Modeling Agency (now known as Ford Models Inc.), one of the leading modeling agencies in the entire world. Her mother, Patricia, was a former model herself; and she brought Shelley to Eileen Ford (an acquaintance of hers) in New York for representation. Subsequently, Shelley became one of the top Ford Supermodels of all time, one of the first models to sign those lucrative and exclusive million-dollar modeling contracts models nowadays aspire to get. She ranks among some of the highest-paid, most recognizable Ford Models whose names and faces rocked the world of modeling. Eileen Ford said of Shelley, "Modeling was just a vehicle she used to get educated. It was never a thing where she wanted to be the best model in the world. She simply became one of them despite herself." (For more, check out: Million-Dollar Faces, Best-Built Fords, and Original And Totally Unforgettable)

The World Belongs To Charlie

for Charlie perfume and cosmetics, 1978

Shelley was THE Charlie perfume Girl. She catapulted herself as well as the brand to worldwide recognition and success. There were others before her, but it was Shelley who captured the imagination of many worldwide. A few months after she began endorsing it, Charlie became the no. 1 brand in the entire world. Shelley was (and is) the quintessential Charlie Girl - gorgeous, sexy, young as well as vibrant and confident. She was, and actually still is, an inspiration to many worldwide. Shelley appeared on many, many ads and promo materials for Charlie. Aside from a perfume, bath and cosmetics line, Charlie also released promo items and giveaways... such as tote bags, picnic bags, makeup kits and pouches, necklaces containing Charlie perfume, the Charlie Triangle necklace, and even the Charlie snowmobile called the "Charlie Cat." In 1978, a Charlie lapel pin was created with Shelley's image and the tagline "The World Belongs To Charlie." Because by that time, Charlie was so successful, it was known all over the world.

Thrill-Seeker Maggie

Shelley appeared in the TV movie Kicks in 1985, starring alongside Soap Superstar Anthony Geary. She played Maggie Pierson, a college professor addicted to, sort of, the thrill of the chase or, as the title says, kicks. She meets her match in Martin Cheevers (Geary), a wealthy businessman with a mysterious past. But their thrills gradually turn into chills as Cheevers ups the anti as they go along. Maggie goes along for the ride for as long as she could and they end up in Alcatraz. Tom Mason (Shelley's future Jack and Mike co-star) played Maggie's boyfriend Caleb. Susan Ruttan (Roxanne Melman on L.A. Law) played Maggie's colleague and friend Rosemary. The movie had been released in VHS format all over the world and had been translated into many different languages.
