Charlie's Angels 50th

an announcement of the April 2026

Charlie's Angels 50th Anniversary Reunion

at PaleyFest LA in Hollywood, Los Angeles

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. 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? 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?

Standing Room Only

for the play Vanities, Nov 1980

In November of 1980, Shelley starred in the Jack Heifner play Vanities which was staged at the Westwood Playhouse in Los Angeles. It was filmed for TV as part of HBO's Standing Room Only series and was aired in 1981. Set in 1963 then 1968 and finally in 1974, the play was about three girls from Texas (as high school cheerleaders, then as college roommates, and finally as young adults) - their friendship and its eventual demise. Shelley played Mary (the confident one) alongside Meredith Baxter Birney who played Joanne (the naïve one), and Annette O'Toole who played Kathy (the planner). Shelley immediately jumped at the opportunity to play Mary after leaving Charlie's Angels. "I didn't want to leave Los Angeles without doing something good," she explained. Although she had no prior stage experience, she was ready to take on the challenge. "I don't know how I got the guts to go right into a play immediately after leaving the series," Shelley said. "I started doing theater for the first time in my life although I'd never been on a stage before." And Shelley's gamble paid off. She received glowing reviews for her performance, surprising many of her critics and detractors... as well as Charlie's Angels producer Ed Lakso who thought she couldn't act and that casting her in Angels was a mistake. "One year after the show, I saw Shelley in the stage play Vanities, and she did a wonderful job," Lakso admitted.

Teen, Top, Super

a closeup of Shelley

from a modeling pic circa 1972

When Shelley graduated from Smith College in 1970, she decided to become a model full-time. Represented by the top model management company, Ford Models Inc., she began her transition from teen model to top model... and eventually to Supermodel. Her then boyfriend, 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 on the pages of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar - which eventually happened. She appeared on both the US and international editions of the magazines. According to Rick, "In the early 70’s before "Charlie", before "Charlie’s Angels", Shelley Hack was an ex-teen model looking for a more sophisticated look to get her into Vogue. I was creating a portfolio with the same goal in mind." By the late 1970s, Shelley was a certified Supermodel.

Found Money TV Movie 27

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.

Pack-Away-Pack by Charlie

pics of Shelley for Charlie

perfume and cosmetics, 1979

Shelley was THE quintessential Charlie Girl and was Revlon Charlie's image model from 1976 to 1982. Charlie was one of the first mega-successful American lifestyle brands in the world. The phenomenal success of the brand was due in part to Shelley's unforgettable image. In 1980, she appeared in a newspaper ad for Charlie called "Absolutely, Undeniably Charlie!" It was a promo for Charlie's latest trio of color expressions for the eyes, cheeks, lips and nails. It was a collection of three different color-coordinated makeup sets for all the expressions of every woman - from quiet earth-tones, to exciting up-beat and off-beat colorings, to the violet colors of night flight. The ad also promoted the "Charlie Pack-Away-Pack," a pair of lightweight bags for the girl on the go - a petite cosmetics pack with a 4 oz. bottle of Charlie perfume inside and a super size pack to sling over the shoulder... both for only $10.00 with any $5.00 purchase from the Charlie Collection. And Shelley was her usual fabulous Charlie self in the ad.

Jackie the Journalist

Shelley in a promo pic

for Jack and Mike, 1986

Shelley starred in her third TV series Jack and Mike in 1986. The series was initially called Jackie O'Shea as it was going to be a star vehicle for Shelley. Series producer David Gerber believed in her talent and star power so much that he wanted to give her her own TV series. Shelley was going to play the title role, a woman journalist who had a supportive husband waiting at home - kind of like a reverse gender role thing which was a fresh idea in the 1980s. Tom Mason, who played Shelley's boyfriend in the 1985 TV movie Kicks and with whom Shelley had great on-screen chemistry, was offered the role of Mike Brennan, Jackie's husband. Initially, he turned down the role as it was merely window dressing for the title character - a sort of stay-at-home cheerleader for Jackie. After a lot of talks with David Gerber, the husband was developed into a more well-rounded character, with more to do in the storylines. It was then retitled Our Kind of Town. "Maybe it will lean more heavily toward me (Mike) one week, and Shelley (Jackie) the next," Mason explained. "The real focus will be on the marriage and how two people who work cope and how their professional entanglements affect them," he added. When it aired, it was again retitled Jack and Mike, and both Shelley and Tom got equal billing.

Shelley was one of the most visible Supermodels in the 1970s. She appeared on the covers and pages of many major magazines around the world, as well as brochure, magazine pull-outs, and magazine supplements. In 1971, she appeared on the pages of the French-language Free Weekly Supplement Modes De Paris (Paris Fashions). It featured practical  patterns for the cold weather... for city dressing as well as dressing for the ski slopes. She modeled wrap skirts that could be sewn by readers themselves and were appropriate for the cold weather (hence, the padding). She wore one skirt with a long-sleeved shirt. She wore another one with a long-sleeved shirt under a tank-top-style sweater. She finished this one with wool tights and accessorized it with a leather shoulder bag. And, as always, Shelley looked smart, chic, and ready for those cold winter days and evenings.

Cutter To Houston

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. Many publicity pics were taken help to promote the series prior to its initial run. One of the publicity pics was used on the cover of the 1994 Hungarian-language novel A Sebészasszony (The Surgeon's Wife) by Alain Thiéry. Alain Thiéry is a French author known for his medical novels which were translated to other languages including Hungarian.

The back cover read as:

Synopsis:

The novel's protagonist is Ann Jessup, a talented orthopedic surgeon at a Boston hospital, who invents a "bone glue" that can heal broken limbs in two to three days. She's an attractive, beautiful and sexy modern woman who can turn the head of every man she meets. The story takes place in the United States, against the backdrop of a modern version of "Gone with the Wind", the contrast between North and South, the splendid life of the upper class, parties, finance, the Caribbean islands, and, for outsiders, the strange world of surgery... laced with major accidents, exciting operations and petty intrigue.

Underrated Star

a closeup of Shelley

from a 1980s promo pic

Shelley became an overnight Hollywood Superstar in 1979 when she joined the cast of the hit series Charlie's Angels. She was thrust into the spotlight immediately after she was named Charlie's newest Angel and was hounded by reporters. "I had press people crawling in my windows," she said of the experience. The  star said, "I was totally unprepared for the press 'bonanza' that followed." Shelley stayed with the series for a year and later said, "I did my year and I moved on." She added, "That was just fine. That was plenty for me." By the 1980s, Shelley was one of stars active in the Hollywood scene. She had earned the praise of very surprised critics via the stage plays Vanities, Close Ties and Born Yesterday. She had starred in the Martin Scorsese film The King of Comedy opposite Robert de Niro and the soon-to-be cult classic The Stepfather opposite Terry O'Quinn, and received critical praise as well. She had starred in two TV series Cutter to Houston and Jack and Mike, which didn't last long but received praise from critics as well. She was one of Hollywood's most glamorous but underrated stars.

Shelley was a busy actress in the 1980s. After opting to leave Charlie's Angels in 1980, she went full-time into an acting career. She appeared on stage, TV and in the movies. She immediately tackled stage after Angels via the Jack Heifner play Vanities and gained critical praise for her work. Other stage plays soon came after (Elizabeth Diggs's play Close Ties, Garson Kanin’s Born Yesterday and John Krizanc's Tamara at the end of the decade) and she got critical praise for them as well. She starred in the feature films Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy and Joseph Ruben's The Stepfather and got glowing reviews.

Shelley appeared in many ads during her tenure as a Supermodel in the 1970s. In 1972, she appeared in an ad for the Simplicity Pattern Company, a 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. The 1972 ad proclaimed that "Now, the prettiest fashions to crochet are also the easiest" and Shelley's image on the package cover of Simplicity pattern 9700 appeared in the ad. Simplicity pattern 9700 contained crochet instructions for making a vest, a pair of hotpants and a skullcap. And Shelley modeled a purple version of the crochet patterns (with pink and green details) and wore them over a white turtleneck top and shorts. Of course, Shelley looked pretty fabulous in all of the pieces.

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 throughout 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:

Valentine's Season with J&M

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).
