School Spring Catalog
2019 Cameo
Charlie's Angels debuted as a TV movie in March of 1976 and was immediately an audience favorite and a ratings smash. It debuted as a series on September of that same year and ran for 5 seasons... it made superstars of the six women who played the Angels (Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd, Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts). It was such an unforgettable smash hit that in 1988 plans to reboot the series were in the works. But after Angels '88 was cast (with Karen Kopins, Claire Yarlett, Sandra Canning, and Téa Leoni as the new Angels), the series went through many setbacks and was eventually shelved. It was brought to the big screen in 2000 and 20023 via Charlie's Angels The Movie and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, and Demi Moore as the 2000 Angels) with great success. In 2011, it was again rebooted as a series with Charlie's Angels 2011 (with Annie Ilonzeh, Minka Kelly, Rachael Taylor, and Nadine Velazquez as the Miami Angels) but was cancelled after a short run. In 2019, it again hit the big screen with Charlie's Angels 2019 (with Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, Ella Balinska, and Elizabeth Banks as the latest Angels) but it received mixed reviews.
Top Teen Model
Shelley began modeling in 1964. She was discovered by no other than George Huntington Hartford II, the heir to the A&P supermarket empire at a debutante ball. "This guy kept bothering me," Shelley said, "He told my father that I was a new face." To which her father replied, "She's not a new face around here, and I wish she'd take out the garbage and wash the dishes." She later appeared on numerous magazine covers, editorials and print advertisements. "I was brought up not to close doors," said Shelley, "Modeling was a great summer job. It beat waitressing." Modeling remained a sideline however, as Shelley concentrated on her studies. Shelley said, "The Ford Agency would send out a little card that said, 'Shelley Hack will be back June 1.'" In 1968, Shelley appeared on the pages of the Seventeen Models guide booklet. (For more, check out: Models Booklet 1968 A and Models Guide 1968 B)

Charlie's Back-To-School Cosmetics
Shelley was THE quintessential Charlie Girl and appeared in many, many ads for the brand. In 1980, she appeared in a newspaper ad for Charlie called the "Take Charlie Along!" which was a promo for Charlie's back-to-school cosmetics line. Aside from the Charlie color analysis, customers were introduced to Charlie's new colors and looks for fall of that year. The promo also offered customers a chance to purchase "Charlie's Feedbag" for only $8.00 with any $5.00 or more purchase from the Charlie collection. "Charlie's Feedbag" was a handy, adjustable canvas tote that contained a bottle of Charlie Body Silk head-to-toe moisturizer, which was great for fighting after-summer dryness. And, as always, Shelley was gorgeous in the fabulous ad.
Based On A True Story
In 1983, Shelley co-starred in the TV movie Trackdown: Finding the Goodbar Killer with George Segal. Segal played Detective John Grafton, a New York City detective looking for the murderer of a schoolteacher who happened to be a good friend of Logan Gay, the character played by Shelley. The movie was largely based on a true story, on the real-life murder of New York City schoolteacher Roseann Quinn. The movie focused on the investigation of the brutal murder during the Christmas season in New York in the 1970s. In the telefilm, after a bumpy first meeting, Logan eventually becomes Grafton's love interest. Shelley and George Segal would eventually work together again in 1992, in the feature film Me Myself and I.

Naturally, Shelley was featured in many newspapers and magazines (as promo for her new TV series), where she talked about her career so far and her plans for the future. And since she was one of the more glamorous stars in Hollywood at the time, writeups about her looks, hair, and style would also crop up. In 1987, two hairstyle magazines featured her on the cover and on their pages...
