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.

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 stellar 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 it be heavenly? Wouldn't it? (For more, check out: Angels 50th Anniv Reunion)

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.

Add 'Em All Up 5

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 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.

Found Money TV Movie 23

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.

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, 1982

Shelley was THE quintessential Charlie Girl and appeared in many, many ads for the brand. In 1982, she appeared in a newspaper ad for Charlie that promoted the "Charlie Sammie Bag." It was a promotional tie-in between Charlie and Samsonite, a manufacturer of luggage, business cases, backpacks, travel accessories and the like. The promo was for Samsonite's Sammie Bag which was filled with a ready supply of Charlie cosmetics and, of course, the Charlie fragrance. The smart blue nylon bag was ready to pack and to be taken anywhere. The promo included a set from the Charlie collection of six eyeshadows, two blushes, four brush-on lip colors and a 1/4 oz. of Charlie perfume spray. Everything any Charlie Girl needed to to look gorgeous no matter where she went. The $67.00 promo item was available for just $10.00 for any $5.00 or more purchase from the Charlie or Revlon collection. And, naturally, Shelley appeared in the ad, Charlie Girl gorgeous as always.

Coats and Jackets for Winter

Shelley modeling quilted coats

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.
