The Supermodel Angel

pics of Shelley in the Nolan Miller evening gowns
she wore on Charlie's Angels

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. 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"). 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." Shelley wore a couple of gowns designed by Miller on Charlie's Angels. She wore an ice blue silk satin evening gown (inspired by the Edith Head ice blue French silk satin gown worn by Grace Kelly to the 1955 Oscars) for promo pics as well as on the episode "Love Boat Angels." She also wore a gold form-fitting satin evening gown on the episode "Dancin' Angels." Miller also designed other outfits for Shelley but it seems they were never made.

Understated and Spot-On

Shelley with Robert De Niro

film The King of Comedy

Shelley Hack was fortunate enough to have worked with some of the best and brightest names in Hollywood. In 1983, she appeared in the Martin Scorsese film The King of Comedy which starred Robert de Niro and Jerry Lewis. During her audition, she read for both Scorsese and De Niro, then went home and waited. "I had a feeling I would get it," Shelley said, "Even so, it was a nervous time. It was obviously such an important break for me - getting it would make people look at me differently." After four months, her agent called and said she got the part. But then, "I couldn't work because I read for The King of Comedy and got the part. The picture was delayed and I couldn't take a chance on doing anything else."

filmmaker, writer and artist Larry Blamire
recently posted his thoughts about the Martin Scorsese
film The King of Comedy, praising Shelley
for her outstanding performance in the film
(Thank you so much to Larry Blamire for posting)

Shelley thought working with Scorsese and De Niro was an exhilarating experience. "Bobby (De Niro) plays a stand-up comic in the picture and he's extraordinary." Shelley recounts, "The first day on the set, I was standing talking to Marty (Scorsese) and everyone was laughing. I didn't know why until Marty said to me, 'Aren't you going to say hello to Bobby?' And there he was beside me. I just hadn't recognized him. He looks entirely different in the picture." The Rupert Pupkin character was quite a departure from the characters De Niro had played prior. Shelley's performance in The King of Comedy received glowing reviews. As one critic put it, "Shelley Hack shines as an unpleasant talent coordinator trying to make Pupkin (de Niro's character) understand her polite rejections." In 2026, filmmaker, writer and artist Larry Blamire said Shelley's performance was "understated and spot-on."

By August 1983, Shelley had become an established Hollywood star. She had received critical praise for her work on stage and had a Martin Scorsese film under her belt (where she worked opposite Robert De Niro). She had also finished a couple of TV movies with respected Hollywood veterans George Segal and Dick Van Dyke. Her latest TV series was to premiere that October. So Shelley would regularly appear on magazines and newspapers at the time. In August 1983, she appeared on the pages of Good Housekeeping magazine, in a spread called "29 All-Star Hairstyles: Modeled by Celebrities and Their Sisters." Shelley appeared with her youngest sister, Babe, in the spread sporting the latest hairstyles. (For more, check out: Shelley and Babe) One hairstyle Shelley sported was the "Breezy" look. Shorter hair for women was the height of chic during the early 1980s and that included the bob cut. Whether slicked-back (ala Zoรซ Tamerlis in Angel of Vengeance) or tousled (ala early Madonna) or smother (ala Molly Ringwald), the bob was a popular look. Shelley wore various lengths and versions of the bob throughout the 1980s, and was, of course, was always very chic.

for Charlie perfume, 1976 and 1977

Shelley first became famous in the 1970s as THE Charlie Girl. In 1976, she was hand-picked to represent the Revlon Charlie brand, as she was the embodiment the brand's ideal – gorgeous, sexy and young. Makeup artist Rick Gillette recalls, "Shelley Hack was really the perfect girl for Charlie." In 1977, she appeared in a newspaper ad for Charlie called  "Here's looking at you... with 'Charlie's Show-Case' dividend." It was a promo that offered the Charlie's Show-Case, a fashionable mirrored boutique box/case that contained 3 shades of Charlie's dazzling eye shadows, Charlie's crรจme blush, Charlie's frosted lip gloss, Charlie's Fresh New Makeup, and 3/4 oz. of Charlie's purse perfume. It was available for just $6 with any $5 or more purchase from the Charlie Collection by Revlon. Now wasn't that a great Charlie purchase.

Comedy Is Difficult

Shelley with Dick Van Dyke
and Sid Caesar in a promo pic
for the TV movie Found Money, 1983

Shelley appeared alongside comedy legends Dick Van Dyke and Sid Caesar in the 1983 TV movie Found Money. 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. "Shelley," Van Dyke said, "is a trained actress. All her background is in drama, whereas I come from the other side. So everything I do is comedy. I find drama very hard to do. Shelley finds comedy difficult to do." To which Shelley half-seriously and half-jokingly replied, "I don't think you find it (drama) difficult. I think you find it different. Besides, I saw lots of drama in the motor coach this morning." The chemistry between the two was evident. Shelley later guest-starred in the Dick Van Dyke series Diagnosis Murder, in the 1997 episode "Looks Can Kill."

sigh... wish this happened

Last April 6,2026, Charlie's Angels 50th Anniversary was celebrated at PaleyFest LA 2026. The event was held in Hollywood, California. Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd appeared in front of a packed crowd at the Dolby Theatre... in a Q&A session moderated by KABC-TV entertainment reporter George Pennacchio. Kate, Jaclyn and Cheryl shared their stories about the show's inception and legacy, their favorite moments and memories. The event, which publicity exec Jay Schwartz helped organize with PaleyFest, was a resounding success and started with a highlight reel from the series which featured Kate, Jaclyn and Cheryl, as well as Farrah Fawcett, Tanya Roberts and Shelley Hack, to the delight of the audience. The momentous event was a big highlight at PaleyFest LA 2026... it was just a shame that Shelley Hack, the other living Angel, was not in attendance. Not that seeing Kate, Jaclyn and Cheryl together again after all these years wasn't awesome already... but it would have been phenomenal of Shelley was also there, sharing her stories and her memories. What a mind-blowing event that would have been for fans.

Kate, Jaclyn and Cheryl will also be recognized at the Paley Honors Spring Gala which will be held at The Plaza hotel in New York City on May 14, 2026. Maybe Shelley, who now resides in Connecticut, can attend the event this time, as she is now much closer to the venue. Here's hoping Paley Honors Spring Gala would consider inviting Shelley and that Shelley would accept their invitation. Praying this would happen ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ Shelley Hack fans would be beyond thrilled and over the moon to see her there with Kate, Jaclyn and Cheryl. Plus, it would be a rare event in Charlie's Angels history ๐Ÿ˜

Charlie's 5th Angel

a promo pic of Shelley from 1979

When Shelley became Charlie's Angel no. 5 in 1979, she instantly became the hottest news item. Everyone wanted to get to know THE Charlie Girl who was now a Charlie's Angel. Of course, as THE Charlie perfume Girl, she already had a lot of fans - everyone loved her in those Revlon Charlie commercials and print ads. But now that she was an Angel, everyone wanted to get to know her even more. Shelley was cast as Tiffany Welles, the daughter of Charles Townsend's good friend, a police chief in Boston, and a Latin teacher. Tiff graduated from the Boston Police Academy with top marks and worked at the Boston Police Department before joining the Townsend Agency. She  took over from Kate Jackson's Sabrina Duncan at the agency as Charlie's Angel no. 5.

Shorter hair for women was the height of chic during the early 1980s, so for women who wanted to keep their locks long, an updo was one option. Gibsons and chignons became popular as well as French twists. Shelley's "Classic Upsweep" was a variation on the French twist, a pulled-back updo hairstyle with a French seam up the back from the nape. The top was brushed back and angled toward the crown for height. Shelley, as always, was at the height of chic.

Shelley was THE Charlie perfume Girl from 1976 to 1982. She was dubbed as THE quintessential Charlie Girl because she was the embodiment of the brand's ideal - gorgeous, sexy, young... as well as independent, confident and loving every minute of it. In 1981, she appeared in an ad for Charlie called "A Country Color Bonus to Surprise and Delight the Eye." The Charlie Country Colors Bonus was a glamorous cosmetic kit containing 12 colors for the eyes, cheeks, lips and nails (a spring-fresh profusion of soft peaches, plums and cool pastels)... plus a bottle of Charlie perfume spray. The kit also contained a LeRoy Neiman Cityscape Artwork (which he named Spring Blooms in Charlie Country) ready for framing. The promo offered customers a chance to purchase the Charlie Country Colors Bonus for only $10.00 with any $6.50 or more purchase from the Charlie collection. And even in Mr. Neiman's artwork, Charlie Girl Shelley was Charlie-Girl fabulous as always. (For more, check out: Springtime Charlie)

In 1993, Shelley attended the 45th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards with her husband, director Harry Winer. She was such a standout, she was featured in Janet Charlton's column "Star People" which regularly appeared in the celebrity tabloid Star. Janet Charlton is a celebrity gossip columnist who writes about the latest news and goings-on in the lives of the celebrity luminaries. Shelley was spotted at the awards ceremony with her husband Harry Winer (not "Weiner" as it was spelled in the column) and was deemed divine-looking in her black velvet evening skirt suit. Her skirt suit had gold filigree details on the collar, edges and cuffs of the jacket as well as gold details at the hem of the skirt. Gold filigree earrings, a black evening purse with gold filigree details and black evening pumps finished her look. And Shelley was one divine-looking Hollywood star indeed.

celebrating Charlie's Angels 50th Anniversary

2026 marks the 50th anniversary of Charlie's Angels TOS (The Original Series). It took a lot of convincing from executive producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg to get the pilot made and for it to be aired on the ABC network in March 21, 1976. It was such an instant hit that it baffled everyone at the network; so the pilot was re-aired and got the same reception. It was then given the green light to continue as a series - and what a phenomenal series it was. It ran from September 22, 1976 to June 24, 1981 - for five fabulous seasons. 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. All the Angels were  bright, independent, and absolutely beautiful.

Kicks in 1985

Shelley was one busy actress in the 1980s. She appeared in various stage and screen (big and small) productions. In 1985, she appeared in the TV movie Kicks with soap superstar Anthony Geary. The movie was about a San Francisco college teacher, Maggie (Shelley), who had a penchant for living on the edge and engaging in dangerous, life-threatening activities. She meets her match in mysterious millionaire Martin Cheevers (Geary) who takes her on a ride of her life - from one dangerous thrill to another. Eventually, the thrill becomes too dangerous and Maggie finds herself in peril. Tom Mason played Caleb, Maggie's boyfriend; and his chemistry with Shelley was so evident that it wasn't surprising he was cast as Mike Brennan, Jackie's husband, in Shelley's TV series Jack and Mike a year later.

Shelley was a working actress in the 1980s. She had gained Hollywood stardom in 1979 when she was cast as Tiffany Welles in Charlie's Angels. By the 1980s, she was appearing on various stage, TV, and the big screen projects; and she was often spotted and captured by the paparazzi at events around Hollywood. She was also featured in magazines and tabloids around the world. In April of 1985, she appeared on the pages of The Australian Women's Weekly magazine. In the fashion section called "What People are Wearing Overseas... That's Casual," she was mentioned as one of the Hollywood stars who was unafraid of dressing down. The other stars mentioned were Angie Dickinson (TVs Police Woman), Amy Irving (The Fury), and Patricia McPherson (from TVs Knight Rider). Shelley was pictured wearing an oversized sweater with a colorful print of an eagle on the chest. She actually wore it over a pair of light-wash gray jeans tucked into a pair of red boots (which matched the red on the eagle print). The pic was taken on January of that year when Shelley attended the premiere of The Falcon and the Snowman at the DGA Theatre in West Hollywood. She attended the premiere with director Harry Winer, her future hubby.

The fans' fascination for Charlie's Angels never seems to end. Even though the TV series went off the air in 1981, fans have still been craving for more Angel info and pics. Countless things have been written about all the Angels during the run of the series and after the series ended. And as the years went by, even more writeups about the goings-on in each of the Angels lives have been written about. (Check out a few examples at: An Angels Catch Up 1, An Angels Catch Up 2, and An Angels Catch Up 3) The latest event that will surely be written about will be the Charlie's Angels 50th Anniversary Celebration at PaleyFest LA 2026 this coming April 6, 2026. Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, and Cheryl Ladd will be in attendance. Still hoping that Shelley Hack will be there to celebrate with them as well.

She had also finished a couple of TV movies with respected Hollywood veterans George Segal and Dick Van Dyke. Her latest TV series was to premiere that October. So Shelley would regularly appear on magazines and newspapers at the time. In August 1983, she appeared on the pages of Good Housekeeping magazine, in a spread called "29 All-Star Hairstyles: Modeled by Celebrities and Their Sisters." Shelley appeared with her youngest sister, Babe, in the spread sporting the latest hairstyles. (For more, check out: Shelley and Babe) One hairstyle Shelley sported was the "Short-Hair Look." Short hair for women (ala Sheena Easton, Pat Benatar, and Olivia Newton-John) was the height of chic and was a very popular look during the early 1980s... as were the drop waist, longer skirts, Capri pants and flat/low-heeled footwear (think Rachel Ward's Against All Odds hair and wardrobe).  Shelley, of course, was always at the height of chic herself.
