Reunion For Their 50th Anniversary

another fantasy announcement

(and again, praying this will happen 🙏🙏🙏😊😊)

of the Charlie's Angels 50th Anniversary Reunion

at PaleyFest LA 2026 in Hollywood, Los Angeles

with Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd,

and Shelley Hack in attendance.

The 50th anniversary of Charlie's Angels is coming up this March 21, 2026. The pilot was aired on March 21, 1976; and it premiered as a TV series on September 22, 1976. It ran for five seasons and made superstars out of all its gorgeous Angels. PaleyFest LA 2026 has included the Charlie's Angels 50th Anniversary Reunion among its featured highlights. Founded in 1984, PaleyFest LA is an annual festival for television hosted by The Paley Center for Media in Los Angeles; and it features screenings specially chosen for the festival, followed by exclusive, behind-the-scenes panels with cast and creators. The pop-culture event brings together television fans with the stars and the creators of their favorite TV shows. PaleyFest LA 2026 will run from April 4 to 12 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The Charlie's Angels 50th Anniversary Reunion will be held on April 6 with Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, and Cheryl Ladd in attendance.

Last February 10, Closer reported that Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd had to talk Kate Jackson into joining them at PaleyFest LA 2026. Kate, who has stepped back from showbiz and had moved to Keswick, Virginia, has been enjoying life away from the Hollywood spotlight. It took a lot for Jaclyn and Cheryl to talk Kate into this," a source told Closer. "This being the 50th anniversary did sway her," the source added. "She's aware that moments like this don't come around often."

With that in mind, wouldn't it be an even bigger blast if Shelley Hack (the only other living Angel from the original series) joined Kate, Jaclyn and Cheryl as well? There was never a Charlie's Angels reunion that involved the entire TOS Angel roster, and, sadly, there never will be (now that Farrah and Tanya have passed way). But still wouldn't it be a phenomenal event if Charlie's four living Angels were all on stage, facing their fans, answering all their questions? Wouldn't that be one unforgettable (and a definitely historically significant) Angel event for all the Charlie's Angels fans around the world? Wouldn't that be just heavenly? Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd, could you also talk Shelley into joining you three for this historic reunion? Please? (For more, check out:  Angels 50th Anniv Reunion and 50th Anniversary Reunion)

Angel reunions through the years

Charlie's Angels reunions have been few and far between, but they have happened. Since the demise of the TV series, fans have been eager to see and know what the Angels have been up to and how they've been doing. Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd, Shelley Hack, and Tanya Roberts have been the subjects of endless fascination by both the media and their many fans around the world. The women may have reunited privately on their own, but some of the more public reunions are the following:

In October of 1986, Kate Jackson was a guest at The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers; and she admitted to meeting Shelley Hack sometime in the early 1980s... maybe at a Hollywood event. (For more, check out: So Kate and Shelley Have Met)

In March of 1992, Kate, Jaclyn, and Cheryl appeared on stage at the 18th Annual People's Choice Awards to hand over to Aaron Spelling a special tribute to celebrate his career. (bonus: John Forsythe - the voice of Charles Townsend - introduced the three Angels.)

In the March 7-14, 1994 issue of People, the 20-year anniversary issue of the weekly magazine, Kate, Farrah, and Jaclyn were featured in a special spread. They were photographed together and interviewed. The magazine's fold-out poster was of the three Angels as well.

In March of 1998, Kate, Farrah, and Jaclyn appeared at the All Star Party for Aaron Spelling in a pre-recorded tribute to Spelling. They thanked him for launching their careers and reminisced about the fun they had doing Charlie's Angels.

In May of 2004, Kate and Tanya finally met and posed for pictures with their fans at the Motor City Comic Con fan convention held at the Novi Expo Center in Novi, Michigan.

In August of 2006, Jaclyn and Cheryl were spotted out and about in LA, catching up.

In August of 2006, Kate, Farrah, and Jaclyn appeared on stage at the 58th Primetime Emmy Awards to memorialize the late Aaron Spelling, their mentor and friend. Spelling's favorite production had always been Charlie's Angels.

In July of 2008, Kate Appeared in Jaclyn's reality TV series Shear Genius as a guest judge for the show's Charlie's Angels challenge.

In July of 2009, Shelley finally met Tanya at The Hollywood Show fan convention in Burbank, California, where they met their fans and posed for pictures with them.

Valentine's Season with J&M

Shelley with Tom Mason in a promo pic

for their 1986 TV series Jack and Mike

Shelley's third foray into series TV was Jack and Mike in 1986. The yuppie phenomenon exploded in the 1980s when more and more women began entering the workforce, climbing up the corporate ladder and holding positions previously held exclusively by men in past generations. The show explored the life of star journalist Jackie Shea (played by Shelley) and restauranteur Mike Brennan (played Tom Mason), a happily married couple with busy careers trying to find time to be with each other. In 2022, what the Cracked website (an American website based on Cracked magazine) said of Jack and Mike was - "the idea of having a show that showcased a happy couple was revolutionary for the time, for that pre-Mad About You time." So curl up and cuddle with your special someone and watch the happily married Jackie and Mike this Valentine's Season (there are a few episodes posted online).

A Sporty Threesome

a closeup of Shelley from a spread

for Needles & Thread magazine,

November 1972

Shelley appeared on many spreads for many magazines from the late '60s to the mid-'70s. In November of 1972, she appeared on the pages of Needles & Thread, a magazine that featured patterns for knitting, crochet, and general needlecraft projects. Shelley appeared in the spread called "A Sporty Threesome to Sew and Crochet" which featured Simplicity pattern 5175, a pattern for three tops to crochet - a short striped top with a ribbed midriff, a top with cap sleeves and a ribbed midriff, and a longer top trimmed with contrasting edging and a heart-shaped pocket. Shelley wore the short striped top with a ribbed midriff version with Simplicity pattern number 9718 (a blouse with front button closing, a shirt-type collar, and long set-in sleeves, softly gathered at the forward shoulder seams) and Simplicity pattern number 5145 (a pair of hip hugging below-the-knee pants with front lap zipper and turn back cuffs... it had contrasting yoke, pockets, and cuffs). Matching socks and footwear finished her fun look. And Shelley looked young, fresh, and ready for the cold months ahead.

Found Money TV Movie 24

screen captures from the TV movie

Found Money, 1983

Shelley appeared alongside comedy legends Dick Van Dyke and Sid Caesar in the 1983 TV movie Found Money. The movie 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 no 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 to accounts of ordinary citizens who bring kindness to the world. 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 found both Dick Van Dyke and Sid Caesar "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. As for Shelley's performance in Found Money, Television writer Fred Rothenberg said "Miss Hack's acting has improved since she played one of Charlie's Angels." Shelley said of the TV movie, "It's a whole type of distinctly American comedy, the closest to theater on film I'd ever gotten." Prior to Found Money, Shelley had starred in several stage plays in the early 1980s and had received excellent reviews for her performances. She was also cast in the Martin Scorsese film The King of Comedy where she held her own in scenes opposite acting giant Robert De Niro; she got excellent reviews for her performance in the film as well. Shelley had come a very long way indeed.

perfume and cosmetics, 1976

Shelley was THE quintessential Charlie Girl and appeared in many, many ads for the brand. In 1977, she appeared in a newspaper ad for Charlie that promoted "Charlie's Scrub-A-Dub-Dub," a personal care set containing a special collection of six Charlie bath essentials that was a must for every Charlie enthusiast. It contained Charlie Body Silk Foam Bath, Charlie Body Silk Soap, Charlie Body Silk Lotion, Charlie Body Silk Perfumed Powder, Charlie Concentrated Perfume Spray, and a special Charlie Bath Mitt (one side is a soft washcloth, the other was a loofa massage sponge). It was available for just $8.00 for any $5.00 or more purchase from the Charlie/Chaz collection. And, of course, Shelley appeared in the ad, Charlie Girl gorgeous as always.

Charlie's Newest Cherub

Shelley at a Charlie's Angels

cocktail party, June 1979

"Who is going to be Charlie's newest Angel?" That was the question in everyone's mind in 1979. And in late-May of 1979, it was finally answered; the new Angel had been cast. THE effervescent Charlie Girl Shelley Hack was officially joining Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd to complete Charlie's newest Angel triumvirate. Shelley was hounded by the paparazzi from then on. She was Hollywood's newest "it girl" and she appeared in virtually every newspaper and magazine around the world. Shelley said, "It has been quite a whirl." Jaclyn Smith said, "I feel good about her. I think the three of us are going to get along great." Cheryl Ladd 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." Everything was going along well with the new Angel team; yet rumors of catfights and jealousy (which has unfairly plagued the series since its debut) still persisted and was being written about in the press.

cocktail party, June 1979

To address the rumors, Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd talked to Charlie's Angels executive producer Aaron Spelling and convinced him to throw a cocktail party for the TV critics of America. The party would formally introduce Shelley Hack to the press and hopefully put an end to all the talks of discord among the new Angel team. It was held at ABC's West Coast offices at the ABC Entertainment Center in Century City, Los Angeles. Jaclyn, Cheryl and Shelley attended the party as well as their other cast member David Doyle who played John Bosley in the series. Aaron Spelling, his business partner Leonard Goldberg and the ABC network (where Charlie's Angels was aired) corporate brass were all in attendance as well. The Angels cast had just returned from filming at the U.S. Virgin Islands and they all raved about how much fun they had shooting the season's first episode.

Patchprinted Pantsuit

for the Spiegel Spring And Summer 1976 catalog

Shelley appeared on many different catalogs during her modeling career. One of them was Spiegel which was a direct marketing retailer that sent their buyers to Parisian fashion shows in order to check out the latest fashion trends and introduce them to the American market. In 1976, Shelley appeared on the pages of Spiegel Spring And Summer 1976 catalog. In a spread that featured women's pantsuits, Shelley wore the Patchprinted Pantsuit, a two-piece pantsuit in a multi-colored patchwork-printed double knit polyester. The single-breasted blazer had deeply notched lapels and a three-button closing. The pants had slightly flared legs and an elasticized waist. She wore the suit with a bright white sleeveless pullover top that was styled like a shirt. Matching heeled sandals, a matching belt, and a matching scarf around her neck finished her look. And Shelley looked patchprinted gorgeous and very up-to-the-minute.

Cutter Doctors

Cutter To Houston, 1983

Shelley's second TV series was Cutter to Houston. It was about three young doctors with markedly different backgrounds and motives. Shelley, Jim Metzler and Alec Baldwin starred as three young doctors who ran a small hospital in the fictitious Texas small town called Cutter, 60 miles from Houston. When they ran into major medical problems that their local facility couldn't handle, they would contact the Texas Medical Center in Houston via a computer hookup - hence the title. Shelley played Dr. Beth Gilbert, an ambitious surgeon on temporary assignment who aspired to be a heart surgeon in Houston. Jim played Dr. Andy Fenton who grew up in Cutter and was glad to be home. And Alec played Dr. Hal Wexler sent on probation to Cutter for being a little too fast and free with his prescriptions. Originally dubbed as From Cutter to Houston, the "From" was dropped when the series started airing.

In the spread called "Add 'Em All Up," she modeled great looking get-ons that added up to a totally smashing look for fall that season. Shelley wore Simplicity pattern number 9718 (a blouse softly gathered at the forward shoulder seams with long set-in sleeves that gathered to buttoned cuffs, shirt-type collar, and front button closing) with pattern no. 5192 (a mini-jumper with a back zipper closing, a low round neckline and extended shoulders forming cap sleeves). A matching belt and a hose finished her look. And Shelley looked young, fresh, and ready for the cold months ahead.

Coats and Jackets for Winter

for McCall's mag, Dec 1979

Shelley appeared on the cover and pages of McCall's magazine in January of 1980 (for more, check out: Bright Ways to Keep Warm). In a spread called "Light, Bright Ways to Keep Warm", she modeled three lightweight but warm  cold-weather coats that could be made by anybody. All made from McCall's pattern number 6754, patterns for a misses' coat or jacket. They were patterns for buttoned up or snap fastened coats or jackets that had collars, fold-over braids, and turned up sleeves forming cuffs. Side seam pockets could also be added. The coats looked like high-priced designer originals. They were made from fluffy quilted fabric and were guaranteed to keep anyone warm during the cold months. Shelley wore the maxi-length coat version in bright blue, the short jacket version in sunny yellow with black piping, and the knee-length version in fire engine red with white piping. The pattern was released in 1979, and Shelley appeared in newspaper features promoting it in December of that year. And of course, Shelley looked fabulous in all those newspaper features.

Those Other Fabulous Angels

season 5, 1980

Jaclyn Smith was the last of the original Charlie's Angels when Shelley joined the series for its 4th season in 1979. At the time, it was rumored that Jackie too, like Kate Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, wanted out and wanted to leave after season 4. It was written that she said, "If Shelley goes over well with viewers, there's no reason why I couldn't walk off the show. Then next year, a replacement for me would be found and viewers again would have the opportunity of seeing a new face." Cheryl, Shelley and Tanya have been called the replacement Angels; and they would have made a great Angel team if Jackie did leave after season 4. Girl-next-door Kris Munroe (Cheryl), classy intellectual Tiffany Welles (Shelley) and street-smart Julie Rogers (Tanya) would have made a fantastic Angel team, too. (For more, check out: Kris, Tiffany and Julie and What If Jackie left?)

a Portuguese-language clipping

about the impact of Charlie's Angels' fashion,

featuring the replacement Angels

Cheryl Ladd, Shelley Hack, and Tanya Roberts

Charlie's Angels was a worldwide cultural phenomenon and was a huge hit all over the world. And everything about it was celebrated, especially its fashion. From Farrah's 1976 hairstyle to the spandex pants Jaclyn, Cheryl, and Shelley donned in 1979, Charlie's Angels showcased the very best fashions of the era. So much so that in recent times, the Angels style have become fashionable again... as stated in a Portuguese-language clipping that featured replacement Angels Cheryl Ladd, Shelley Hack, and Tanya Roberts... as well as Jaclyn Smith. The clipping translates as follows:

Fashion

The look of the Charlie's Angels detectives generated fashion trends among women in the 70s and 80s. Farrah Fawcett's blonde hair was an absolute hit during the show's run. Her golden locks, layered and parted in the middle, with a brushed-up style, were a must-have to be fashionable. Traditional wide-legged trousers, halter tops, suits, and scarves (preferably all very colorful) became hit again when a revival of the 70s style once more graced the runways of Paris and Milan about three years ago.

Out: Farrah Fawcett
Enter: Cheryl Ladd

Out: Kate Jackson
Enter: Shelley Hack

Out: Shelley Hack
Enter: Tanya Roberts

Only Jaclyn Smith remained until the end of the series in 1981. But the new Charlie's Angels ended up winning the hearts of fans.

Stylish and Sophisticated

wearing Simplicity Pattern 7145, 1975

Shelley appeared on many Simplicity pattern catalogs, brochures and packaging during the 1960s and 1970s. The Simplicity Pattern Company is the leading manufacturer of sewing patterns and sewing pattern guides which are distributed throughout the world. They have been manufacturing sewing patterns since 1927 and have allowed fashionistas on a budget and sewing aficionados to create clothes in a reliable manner. In 1975, she appeared on the pages of the Simplicity Holiday 1975 catalog. In the "Make Christmas Special" spread, she wore Simplicity pattern number 7145, a misses' top and pants ensemble. The top had a V-shaped neckline, unlined yoke and sleeves, front midriff, back zipper, and self fabric tie ends, softly gathered to the bodice above the normal waistline. She finished her look with matching bracelets and earrings. And Shelley looked stylish, sophisticated and ready for any holiday event.

Fabulend Knitting Yarn, 1975

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 Red Heart Fabulend Knitting Worsted Type Yarn. Red Heart has been a popular and widely available yarn brand for almost a century. A fave of knitting and crochet enthusiasts, the brand has been popular for its affordability, color range and quality. In 1975, Shelley appeared on a Red Heart Fabulend Knitting Worsted Type Yarn leaflet/pattern cover. Dubbed "Easy Does It Free Leaflet W.1040," the leaflet contained a jacket pattern that could be created with worsted type yarn, as modeled by Shelley on the cover. She wore a quadruple colored Zippered Jacket that had long sleeves, slightly-puffed shoulders, and a fitted bodice over a pair of beige-colored trousers. A matching necklace and bracelet accessorized her look. And Shelley looked Fabulend fabulous.

The 50th anniversary of Charlie's Angels is coming up this March 21, 2026. The pilot was aired on March 21, 1976; and it premiered as a TV series on September 22, 1976. It ran for five seasons and made superstars out of its main cast, namely Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd, Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts. David Doyle and John Forsythe have become household names as well due to the show. For January/February 2026, TV Guide Puzzler magazine created the Charlie’s Angels 50th Anniversary Collector’s Issue. Every TV Guide Puzzler magazine issue is centered around a theme (a popular TV show) and contains puzzles, games and trivia related to the issue's theme... as well as rare photos and interviews related to the show.

The Charlie’s Angels 50th Anniversary Collector’s Issue is a celebration of the most ground-breaking, well-loved, and unforgettable TV series that ever came out of the 1970s. The series, which put independent, smart, and beautiful women on the forefront, left an indelible mark in world culture and has been rebooted many times since its cancellation in 1981. The issue contains a variety of Angel-themed puzzles as well as fun facts and trivia that fans of the show would just love. Two versions of the cover have been released. The subscription copies have Kate, Farrah and Jaclyn (pointing) on the cover with inset pics of Cheryl and Shelley above them. The expanded copies (larger size) have Kate, Farrah and Jaclyn (in an "Angels in Chains" image) with an inset pic of Cheryl below them. (Wish Tanya was included in either cover) If you can, get both versions.
