for Charlie's Angels, 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.

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.

by Steen Svensson, 1978

After graduating from Smith College in 1970, Shelley decided to take on modeling full-time. Represented by the top model management company, Ford Models Inc., she began her transition from teen model to top model. Her then boyfriend, fashion 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 into the pages of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar - which eventually happened. By the mid-1970s, Revlon creative director David Leddick had Steen shoot Shelley's first Revlon Charlie presentation portfolio; and it got her the contract. Her first commercial debuted in 1976; and it was such an immediate and immense hit that by 1977, Charlie became the #1 fragrance in the world (the first American-made international bestseller). With Revlon Charlie, Shelley achieved Supermodel status; and she appeared in more print ads and commercials (with Steen and Rick) for the now phenomenally successful brand.

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.

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.

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

with Cheryl Ladd, David Doyle, Farrah Fawcett

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 '80s Angels), the series went through many setbacks and was eventually shelved. It was brought to the big screen in 2000 and 2003 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)

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.

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 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.

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.
