School Spring Catalog

School Spring catalog 1972

Shelley appeared on many magazines and catalogs during her tenure as Supermodel in the 1970s. She appeared on many covers, fashion spreads, and sewing patterns for McCall's... for their magazines, catalogs, and pattern covers. McCall's was a monthly American women's magazine that started out as a small-format magazine but eventually grew to become a glossy large-format magazine. The magazine initially featured just sewing patterns but through the years expanded to include writeups on homemaking and crafts, food and nutrition, health and fitness, beauty and fashion advice, and fictional stories. McCall's later came up with big-book catalogs that featured their latest fashion patterns. Shelley appeared in McCall's School Spring catalog 1972.

In the issue, Shelley appeared in the spread that featured McCall's pattern number 3116. It was a pattern for a misses top, a vest and a cardigan jacket - all of which could be made using unbonded stretchable knits. The top was a short-sleeved T-shirt with thick contrasting piping details around the neck and sleeve-ends. The vest was open in the center with thick contrasting piping details that went from behind the neck down to the center then around the hem... as well as around the shoulders. The cardigan jacket had long sleeves with thick contrasting piping details that went from behind the neck down to the center then around the hem... as well as around the sleeve-ends. Shelley wore the short-sleeved T-shirt in sunny yellow with contrasting piping details in orange. A fun orange applique design was attached to the chest of the T-shirt. Matching yellow pants finished her look. And Shelley looked sunny, fun, and very up-to-the-minute.

2019 Cameo

Shelley in a promo pic for Charlie's Angels

and Jaclyn Smith, 1979

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.

on Rebekah's (Elizabeth Banks) tablet,
Charlie's Angels 2019

In Charlie's Angels 2019, there was a scene wherein Rebekah (Elizabeth Banks) presents photos of John Bosley (played by Patrick Stewart) with a number former Angels... "a walk down memory lane" as Rebekah put it. A photo from a 1978 Charlie's Angels promo pic was featured (with Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith, and Cheryl Ladd), as well as two promo pics from Charlie's Angels The Movie (with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu). Patrick Stewart's face was superimposed over the faces of David Doyle and Bill Murray, who both played John Bosley in the original TV series and the first two Angels movies. Another picture that appeared in the 2019 movie (if you look closely at Rebekah's tablet) is a 1979 Charlie's Angels promo pic (with Cheryl Ladd, Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith, and Shelley Hack). And, as with the previous photos, Patrick Stewart's face was superimposed over the face of David Doyle as well. I guess we can safely say that Shelley made a small cameo in the Charlie's Angels 2019 movie.

Top Teen Model

from the Seventeen Models
guide booklet, 1968

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.

Trackdown: Finding the Goodbar Killer

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.

Shelley in a Mother's Day ad
for Charlie perfume and cosmetics, 1976

Shelley was THE quintessential Charlie Girl and appeared in many, many ads for the brand. In 1976, she appeared in a newspaper ad for Charlie with the tagline "For Yourself, For Mother." It was a Mother's Day promo ad that offered customers a chance to purchase for their mother (or for themselves) the Charlie Triangle silver necklace set for only $4.50 with any purchase from the Charlie Collection by Revlon. The Charlie Triangle was a silver-toned pendant and chain necklace set. It had a silver-toned curb chain necklace that went through a hollow silver-toned triangular pendant. A single gold-toned bead went through the chain and hung right in the center of the hollow pendant. The piece was designed by award-winning designer Mikel Kawamura, whose work had been featured at Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, and in leading jewelry stores around the US. The Charlie Triangle design was marketed world-wide. And Shelley was photographed wearing the fabulous Kawamura-designed piece... looking fabulous as well.

February 1987

Shelley had a career upswing in 1986. Her third TV series, Jack and Mike, was doing fairly well and getting decent ratings ("in the middle of the pack," as some writers put it). And after a first order of a pilot and 12 episodes, the ABC network ordered five more episodes in 1987. 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... Star Hairdo's (for more, check out: On The Cover '87 and Rave Waves '87) and Sophisticate's Hairstyle Guide (for more, check out: Special Great Looks) And Shelley was a glamorous as ever.

on Sears Fall Festival of Catalog Values,
November 1973

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. Sears is an American chain of department stores founded in 1892. Aside from the big-book catalogs, they came out with tabloid-sized catalogs that featured items on sale. In November 26 of 1973, Shelley appeared on the pages of Sears Fall Festival of Catalog Values.

Forsyth Telefilm

Shelley in a publicity pic
from the mid/late 80s

Shelley appeared in the first installment of the telefilm series Frederick Forsyth Presents. It was a set of six telefilms by internationally acclaimed author Frederick Forsyth; and they were all original spy thrillers. The first of them, A Casualty of War, was aired in December of 1989. The film was about the efforts of the British Intelligence to uncover an arms smuggling operation in Europe. In the film, Shelley played Monica Browne, the love interest of retired British secret service agent Tom Rowse (played by English actor David Threlfall) who was recruited to intercept an arms shipment from Libya to the IRA. But Monica had her secrets.

A Casualty of War VHS, 1989

Shelley said she read Forsyth's books as a young girl and found them to be "very macho, exciting Cold War stuff." In the film, she was the only American among the predominantly British cast. She laughed this off and said, "Yes, I'm the token." But she enjoyed working with her British co-stars and found their approach to their craft very interesting. The telefilm was shot in England, Germany and Yugoslavia. It was initially released on VHS and subsequently on DVD.

By then, she was also being considered by long-time James Bond films producer Cubby Broccoli to play Bond girl in the latest Bond installment Moonraker. And she was currently, a first time leading-lady in the film If Ever I See You Again. The hot and busy model-turned-actress was in L.A. doing the talk shows to promote the film.

Charlie Brand Ambassador

from a Charlie perfume ad, 1978

Shelley became a Supermodel in the mid 1970s when she landed an exclusive contract to become the image model and spokesperson of Revlon's Charlie brand. Her tenure as the brand's ambassador was so successful it catapulted the brand, as well as herself, to worldwide recognition and fame. By 1978, the line "Now The World Belongs To Charlie" was added on their print ads. And Shelley was photographed smiling that smile and striding that stride wearing the latest fashions as she roamed around the most famous sites around the world. In 1978, she was photographed across the River Thames in Central London, England, across the historic castle the Tower of London (officially His Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London). She was wearing a fabulous outfit by American fashion designer Bonnie Cashin, a pioneer in creating sportswear for women that were both innovative and uncomplicated and was just perfect for the modern, independent woman... just like THE Charlie Girl herself. And, of course, Shelley was her gorgeous, sexy-young self in the ad.
