"Of Ghosts and 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. 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.

Shelley's second "solo" episode was "Of Ghosts and Angels." And, like Farrah, Shelley went through eight outfit changes throughout the episode. For her first scene, Shelley wore a white shirt over a pair of khaki-colored jeans. She topped it off with a cream-colored crocheted sweater and finished her look with a pair of brown leather boots. She next wore a peach-colored silk nightgown with a ruffled neckline closed with a satin bow. She wore the same nightgown in a later scene and topped it off with its matching peach-colored silk robe. She next wore a long-sleeved club-collared plaid shirt with a pair of pleated khaki slacks. She finished her look with khaki-colored suspenders (with gold hardware) and accessorized her look with a gold bracelet and earrings. She next wore a plum-colored ladies skirt suit (trimmed with black piping) and white high-collared blouse (with pleats around the neckline). Matching high-heeled sandals finished her look and a gold broach (pinned on the blouse collar) 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 pearl necklace accessorized her look. She next wore a ribbed turtleneck sweater over a pair of pleated purple-colored corduroy slacks. She finished her look with a pair of brown leather boots. For the next scene, she wore the same outfit and topped it off with a khaki-colored blazer cinched at the waist with a purple-colored sash. For the scene after, she reverted back to the outfit without the blazer. She next wore a fairy-inspired gown/costume in a pale blue diaphanous glitter fabric (with bell sleeves and a wide V-neckline). Silver appliques adorned the gown around the neckline, the edges of the sleeves and the hem. A self-tie belt in a textured silver fabric (similar to the sleeve appliques) adorned the waist. She accessorized her look with a matching flower tiara. For the epilogue, she wore an aquamarine dress with a high collar and long puffed sleeves. A pair of neutral-colored sandals with ankle straps finished her look. Gold earrings and a gold bracelet accessorized her look.
