A Mini Biography of Ms. Shelley Hack

Shelley Marie Hack was born on July 6, 1947 in White Plains, New York, and was raised in Greenwich, Connecticut. She graduated from Greenwich Academy and went off to Smith College where she earned a degree in history. But while still in school, as a teen, she was discovered by A&P heir Huntington Hartford who urged her to try modeling. So her mom took her to see model agent Eileen Ford and she began to model part-time, during her summer breaks. Subsequently, after graduating from Smith, she signed on full-time at Ford Models Inc., and became one of the top models in the United States. In 1976, she jumped to Supermodel status when she began endorsing Revlon Charlie perfume, cosmetics and various beauty products. She was one of first batch of models who were able to negotiate previously unheard of, lucrative and exclusive million-dollar deals with giant cosmetics companies. The worldwide popularity she gained as THE Charlie Girl brought her to the attention of Hollywood. Woody Allen cast her in a bit part in his 1977 Academy Award-winning movie Annie Hall. She got her first leading lady role in the film If Ever I See You Again and went on to star in various big and small screen projects. In 1979, Aaron Spelling cast her in his hit series Charlie's Angels and she rose to Hollywood superstardom overnight. Although she left after one season, the publicity she gained from the series kept her in the public eye in the 1980s. Shelley then tackled stage via plays like Vanities (1981), Born Yesterday (1982), and Close Ties (1983), and was critically praised for her efforts. This led to roles in movies like Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy (1983) and cult classics like Troll (1986) and The Stepfather (1987), as well as the lead in two other TV series, Cutter to Houston (1983) and Jack and Mike (1986-87). She married director Harry Winer and in 1990 gave birth to their daughter, Devon Rose. In the '90s, Shelley began delving in grassroots politics and political fund-raising. She would receive her MBA from the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) and, in 1997, she formed Shelley Hack Media Consultancy (SHMC), a media consultancy firm that worked internationally in pre- and post-conflict countries. She would go into war-torn countries and help them establish democracy through media. She began in Bosnia, producing their first-ever televised presidential debates. She became a member of the Pacific Council on International Policy (PCIP) whose mission was to give a more effective voice to West Coast perspectives on critical global policy issues. She worked extensively in Eastern Europe and Western Asia and traveled all over the world. She also spent two years working with the largest media conglomerate in Eastern Europe helping to develop and build the infrastructure for a new state of the art film studio complex in the region. After ten years of doing that, Shelley settled down in California, and in 2010, she and her husband formed Smash Media Productions where she acts as co-president. Through Smash Media, she has produced documentaries like Citizen of the World (2010) and Maharajah of the Road (2012), feature films like The Expatriate/Erased (2012) and The Doorman (2020) and several movies for the Hallmark Channel such as Lucky Christmas (2011), Perfect Match (2015), A Bramble House Christmas (2017), Falling for You (2018), Holiday Hearts (2019), Autumn in the City (2022), and Long Lost Christmas (2022). On her own, she has produced Summer of Dreams (2017) and Christmas in Evergreen (2017), also for Hallmark. In 2021, Shelley and Harry sold their house in Santa Monica and moved east (to Connecticut) to probably be in closer proximity to Shelley's mom Pat (who passed away in May of 2025 at 105) and their daughter Devon who is now married (to Kelvin Chan in 2022) and based in New York. In 2024, Shelley served as a producer for Spin Master Entertainment, which co-produces animated children's content with Smash Media; and her most notable project with Spin Master is the hit Netflix animated series Unicorn Academy.

Angels Wardrobe 10

from the Charlie's Angels episode

"Angels on Campus"

1979 was a new era for the hit TV series Charlie's Angels. Supermodel Shelley Hack joined Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd to form Charlie's glamorous new Angel team. Nolan Miller, the wardrobe designer of the series, said, "I begged Aaron to hire Shelley. There was something about her I really liked; I was impressed with her Charlie perfume commercials and how she could create a look just by turning her collar up and putting her hands in her pockets." The wardrobe budget was increased to $20,000 per episode; and, according to People magazine, each Angel was to go through eight costume changes per episode (but it was more like three to five, with Farrah making the most - at eight changes - in "Fallen Angel"). Due to the request of the retained cast members for more time off, "solo" episodes were produced. These episodes focused on just one Angel, with the other Angels playing support, popping up here and there throughout the entire episode. Each Angel had three of these "solo" episodes, including guest Angel Farrah.

"Angels on Campus"

Shelley's first "solo" episode was "Angels on Campus." And, like Farrah, Shelley went through eight outfit changes throughout the episode. For her first scene, she wore a red long-sleeved blouse (with a band collar and padded shoulders) over a pair of fitted beige slacks (with pleats). A thin burgundy-colored woven belt with gold clasps finished her look. Gold earrings accessorized her look. She next wore a red wrap dress (with a jacket collar and matching sash belt) and topped it off with a black blazer with red piping around the collar, down the front, and at the pocket openings. A gold necklace and gold bracelet accessorized her look. For the next scene, she wore the same dress sans the blazer. She next wore a white turtleneck sweater (with a chunky neckline) over a pair of black jeans and topped it off with a blue suede jacket. She finished her look with a pair of black high-heeled sandals with ankle straps. For the next scene, she wore the same outfit sans the jacket. She next wore a blue Kappa Omega Psi T-shirt over a pair of blue jeans with the hems folded above the ankles. She finished her look with a pair of blue sneakers (with white laces) and a beige nylon belt. A beige nylon rubber band on her hair and a whistle with a beige neck cord accessorized her look. She next wore (in Charlie's Angels tradition) a white towel. She next wore a long-sleeved plaid shirt over a pair of maroon slacks and topped it off with a matching maroon-colored sweater. She finished her look with a pair of maroon-colored high-heeled sandals. A gray leather shoulder bag with tan leather details accessorized her look. She next wore a white boat-neck see-thru dress with floral details (with elbow-length sleeves, a pleated skirt and a self-tie belt) over a white slip dress. A gold necklace accessorized her look. For the epilogue, she wore an aquamarine dress with a high collar and long puffed sleeves. Gold earrings accessorized her look.

Shelley appeared in many spreads for many magazines from the late '60s to the mid-'70s. She appeared in various knitting and sewing magazines at the time.

for Charlie's Angels, 1979

2026 marks the 50th anniversary of Charlie's Angels TOS (The Original Series). The series was one of the biggest (if not the biggest) and most successful TV series that came out of the 1970s. It has been aired and re-aired all around the world for the past 50 years. Initially, it starred three gorgeous actresses as the Angels... Kate Jackson as the smart no-nonsense Sabrina Duncan, Farrah Fawcett as the sporty California girl Jill Munroe, and Jaclyn Smith as the sultry and mysterious Kelly Garrett. But as the series progressed, three more gorgeous Angels joined the series... Cheryl Ladd as the cute and sexy girl-next-door Kris Munroe, Shelley Hack as the classy intellectual Tiffany Welles, and Tanya Roberts as the street-smart tigress Julie Rogers.

Other cast members included David Doyle as John Bosley, Charlie's associate and the Angels' link to Charlie... and John Forsythe as the voice of Charles "Charlie" Townsend himself, the Angels' and Bosley's big boss (who was not credited for his role to add mystery to the character). The pilot included David Ogden Stiers as Scott Woodville, the Angels' facilitator and chief backup as well as Bosley's superior (but the character was dropped after the pilot episode to play up the self-reliance and sisterhood of the Angels during the planning and execution of their missions). A couple of recurring characters were Michael Bell as Bill Duncan, Sabrina's policeman ex-husband in season 1... and Soon-tek Oh as Lieutenant Torres of the Oahu Police Department in season 5. Other notable characters were John Agar as Colonel Blaylock, Sabrina's father who appeared in season 1 (hence, implying that Sabrina's maiden name was Sabrina Blaylock)... and Vic Morrow as Lieutenant Harry Stearns, Julie's mentor in season 5.

Beery and Bagg-a-loons

from a 1972 Ms. Lee ad

Shelley appeared on many ads during her Supermodel tenure. One of them was for Ms. Lee. The Lee Company, a popular American denim jeans brand, came up with a label catering to women. The label catered to the women’s market and was a tribute to women. Ms. Lee was tailor-made for women, in fit and in style. In 1972, Shelley appeared in a Ms. Lee ad that announced "It's Ms. Lee All Over" where she wore a top-to-bottom Ms. Lee outfit. She wore a Wallace-Beery-inspired body knit suit (which featured elbow and shoulder gun patches) over a pair of baggy pants, Bagg-a-loons (which were tighter on top and flared at the bottom), with cuffed hems. A pair of two-toned casual lace-up footwear and a pair of matching belts finished her look. A ribbed aviator skull cap with extended ear flaps and a scarf around her neck accessorized her look. And Shelley looked Beery good indeed.

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's first leading lady role came in the 1978 film If Ever I See You Again. She was handpicked by producer/director/leading man Joseph Brooks to play the part of artist Jennifer Corly, his love interest in the film. Brooks told one reporter, during the audition process, "I saw scores of girls on the East Coast, the West Coast and points in between - and SHE walked in. I know that sounds overly dramatic. But when (Shelley) walked into the room, I turned to my assistant and said, 'She's got it! She's got the part.'" Shelley's side of the story, "I was amazed at how quickly Joe made up his mind. I didn't read for the part or take a screen test. I walked in and he told the other people in the room that I was the girl he was looking for."

Personality Test

Shelley was a certified Supermodel by the mid-1970s. She was known as THE Charlie Girl, Revlon's superstar model and "it" girl - loved and admired all over the world. In 1979, after speaking to her agent who said, "It's a terrific show - you really should think about testing," she auditioned for the role of Tiffany Welles in Charlie's Angels. As part of her audition, she was subject to a personality test. Shelley recalled, "The first question was, 'What is your name?'" She said, "You know my name." They said, "Just answer the question, Shelley." And she got excited and said, "Is this a really personality test? I've always wanted to do a personality test." Then she said, "Oh, dammit, I didn't rehearse my personality this morning." The test seemed to have worked in her favor. Shelley eventually won the part and become Charlie's 5th Angel.

Quite A Whirl

Shelley in a paparazzi pic from 1979

Shelley joined the cast of Charlie's Angels in 1979 and was quickly thrust into the Hollywood limelight. Of course, tongues immediately began wagging about Charlie's newest Angel. She was talked about in gossip columns, tabloids and entertainment shows. Many magazine and tabloid reporters, as well as and paparazzi/photographers, rushed to her. Many things (true and untrue) were written about her. "Yesterday, I was a schnook, and today I can't get across the street" is how Shelley described her sudden rise to Hollywood megastardom. "It has been quite a whirl," she said. "I was totally unprepared for the press 'bonanza' that followed," she told Jane Pauley in Time and Again in 2000. "I had press people crawling in my windows," she told E! in 2002. (For more, check out: Rumors And Gossip)

When the TV series Jack and Mike ended in 1987, Shelley Hack slowly began focusing on other endeavors. She became the national chairperson of the National Lung Association’s and American Medical Association’s campaign to get young women to stop smoking. Gradually, she started taking a more political role in women’s causes. By 1994, she had set her sights on a county Democratic Central Committee seat in the Westside and San Fernando Valley district; but she was disqualified. (She came down with the flu; so she asked someone else to take over the signature-gathering needed to secure her a seat. But the man who did it didn’t live in the 41st District, a requirement, so it rendered all the signatures he gathered invalid.) Also, she began to take an active role in political fund-raising. She began performing extensive work in national, state and municipal election organization and registration - focusing on bringing women into the political process. She gained vast experience working with American political candidates and in the political process of the United States in her home state by then, California. She received her MBA from the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) and, in 1997, she formed Shelley Hack Media Consultancy (SHMC) a media consultancy firm that worked in pre- and post-conflict countries. It was a company that internationally specialized on projects that focused on the intersection between media and the development of civil society. She would go into war-torn countries and help them establish democracy through media, which was often done with the help of televised political debates. "I have a consultancy company, and I basically do institution building in post-conflict countries" she told one reporter later. And in 1997, she started in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Shelley appeared in many spreads for many magazines from the late '60s to the mid-'70s. She appeared in various knitting and sewing magazines at the time. Shelley appeared on various spreads throughout the magazine Modern Needle/Craft Fall Winter 1971. Modern Needle/Craft was publication that featured knitting, crochet and textile arts. Crochet and knitting tecniques as well as cross-stitch and needlepoint tips were usually featured in the magazine. In the issue, Shelley appeared in the spread called "Predicting... Refreshing Young Fashions." In the spread, she wore a smart young look for '71 - a knicker and bolero ensemble (directions for making them were included in the mag). A turtleneck sweater and matching leggings finished her look. A beret-style headpiece finished her look. And Shelley definitely looked young and refreshing.
