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.

But wouldn't it be phenomenal 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?

Add 'Em All Up 4

a closeup of Shelley from a spread

for Simplicity Home Catalog, 1972

Shelley appeared on many spreads for many catalogs from the late '60s to the mid-'70s. She appeared on the pages of the Simplicity Home Catalog Fall/Winter 1972 issue. 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 5142, a bibbed long skirt (with a waistband, a back zipper, and a lined bib with buttoned suspenders). She wore it over a combination of Simplicity pattern number 5194 (a top with a high round neckline, long set-in sleeves, a patch pocket, top-stitching, and a back zipper) and Simplicity pattern number 5218 (a dickey with a collar, a collar band, a tie, front button closing, and top-stitching). Matching hose and sandals finished her look. And Shelley looked young, fresh, and ready for the cold months ahead.

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.

Charlie Colors

perfume and cosmetics, 1978

Shelley was THE quintessential Charlie Girl and appeared in many, many ads for the brand. In 1978, she appeared in a newspaper ad for Charlie called "Charlie Colors-By-The-Dozen." It was a promo that offered customers a chance to purchase the Charlie Colors-By-The-Dozen compact cosmetics set for only for only $6 for every $5 or more purchase from the Charlie collection. The take-everywhere compact cosmetics set included 6 shades of Fresh Fresh Eyecolor (plus applicator), 2 shades of Real Live Blush colors, 3 shades of Extra-Extra Shine Lip Gloss, and a Soft-Line Automatic Lip Pencil. The ad included a checklist of all the products available from the Charlie collection for customers who wanted their transactions and purchases done via postal mail. And, of course, Shelley appeared in the ad and looked fab in all the latest Charlie colors.

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.

Enter: Cheryl Ladd

Out: Kate Jackson

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.

by Stephen Burrows, 1975

Shelley was one of the Supermodels of the 1970s. Like her contemporaries, she was photographed wearing various fashion options for women, from affordable to designer brands. In 1975, she was photographed by renowned fashion photographer William Connors for Harper's Bazaar magazine wearing an outfit by American fashion designer Stephen Burrows. He is known for using bright colors and for inventing the "lettuce hem" (a decorative, wavy, ruffled edge on a fabric). He was one of the American designers to wow Paris and the world in The Battle of Versailles Fashion Show in 1973 (along with Oscar de la Renta, Halston, Bill Blass, and Anne Klein). In the spread, Shelley wore a fabulous dress that was "as easy to wear as a sweater" by Stephen Burrows. It was a long, slim and simple velour dress in graphite-gray with undertones of violet and blue that had a collar that could be worn either as a turtleneck or hood. To accessorize her look, Shelley wore Helen Bransford earrings in her hair, a Barry Kieselstein necklace, and an M & J Savitt bangle and ring. And Shelley looked long, slim, simple, and absolutely fabulous, every inch a modern Supermodel.

Another Blast From The Past

Directors Guild of America Awards

in Beverly Hills, 1993

In March of 1993, Shelley was spotted at the 45th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. She was with her husband director Harry Winer. And she looked every bit the star she was. Her fabulous little black dress was velvet, above-the-knee in length and had gold details around the hem. Over it, she wore a black velvet evening coat generously trimmed with gold Verasace-esque details around the edges, cuffs and collar. Her gold filigree earrings were similar in design and fit her outfit to a T. She finished her look with a matching bag and a pair of medium-heeled (as she always prefers) pumps. She was a such a standout at the event that she was featured in the "What People Are Wearing" section of the celebrity tabloid The Star, as the week's "Blast From The Past." For her chic and dazzling look, she was given the week's best-dressed honors.

Shelley was one of the Supermodels of the 1970s. Like her contemporaries, she was photographed wearing various fashion options for women, from affordable to designer brands. In 1976, she was photographed by renowned fashion photographer William Connors for Harper's Bazaar magazine wearing an outfit by American fashion designer Albert Capraro. Capraro, crowned the "Prince of Fashion" by the press, was known for his dresses and evening gowns as well as his use of only American fabrics, which impressed First Lady Betty Ford who then became one of his most loyal clients (which included socialites and celebrities). In the spread, Shelley wore The Silk Chemise in Cyclamen Pink by  Albert Capraro. It was a long and easy Cyclamen dress with a drawstring neck and bell-shaped sleeves. She accessorized her look with jewels by David Webb and a bag by Judith Leiber. She finished her look with Castwell-Massey's Vetiver cologne for both men and women... a unisex cologne for the modern independent woman. And Shelley looked every inch like the modern independent Supermodel.

Tabloid Rumors

Shelley in a paparazzi pic, 1979

Shelley became a household name in 1979 when she joined the cast of Charlie's Angels. She went through all the things all the Angels before her went through, superstardom and constant media attention. "I was totally unprepared for the press "bonanza" that followed," Shelley disclosed in 2000. The very private star was under constant scrutiny by the press, viewers and critics alike. Her looks, her background, her lifestyle, and even her boyfriends were under scrutiny.

a tabloid writeup about Shelley

and writer/director Nicholas Meyer, 1979

After getting the part of Tiffany Welles in Charlie's Angels, the tabloids reported that Shelley dumped her then boyfriend writer/director Nicholas Meyer. "I feel badly when I read things about myself that aren't true - like the fact that I just broke up with my long-time boyfriend writer-director Nicholas Meyer," Shelley told Screen Stories magazine in 1979, "That bothered me terribly. We're still very much together, and people print lies." The rumors started when Shelley wasn't cast as the lead in Meyer's thriller Time After Time. "That story upset me a great deal because the truth is I was the one who didn't want to do the movie," Shelley told People magazine in 1979. "After all, our relationship just started - what if we broke up in two months? He would have to be stuck directing me," Shelley explained.
