episode "Angels Go Truckin'"

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"). For the episode "Angels Go Truckin'," Shelley went through seven outfit changes. For the opening scene, she wore a shirt dress with a jacket collar and finished her look with a belt and a pocket square. Later, she wore several western-style shirts with jeans and a belt with a western-style buckle (accessorizing one shirt with a bolo tie). For most of the episode, she wore a red checkered shirt with fitted khaki jeans and chic buckled boots... accessorizing it with a thin leather belt, matching driving gloves, a matching cap and a pair of sunglasses. For the epilogue, she wore a chic blouse with cap sleeves.
