In March of 1987, Shelley Hack attended the 24th Annual Publicist's Guild of America Awards. The Publicist's Guild of America (which merged with the International Cinematographers Guild in 2002) is a union that has represented film and television publicists throughout the US and Canada since 1955. For its members, it negotiates base salaries and benefits. Among the union’s major activities is the Publicists Annual Awards where outstanding film and television marketing campaigns are recognized by the members. In 1987, the awards were held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, and Shelley was in attendance. In attendance too were other stars of the moment. In fact, Shelley was photographed with other TV superstars, namely Angie Dickinson who played Sgt. Pepper Anderson in the groundbreaking TV series Policewoman and Gerald McRaney who played Rick Simon in the 1980s hit series Simon & Simon.
