"Three for the Money"

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 "Three for the Money," Shelley went through six outfit changes. For her first scene, she wore a pair of off-white coveralls with white sneakers. Later in the episode, she wore the same off-white coveralls and added a white newsboy cap and a pair of red and white horizontal striped socks. She next wore a long-sleeved band-collared aquamarine-blue silk shirt (with flapped patch pockets) over a pair of black slacks. She finished her look with black footwear and accessorized it with a pair of gold earrings and a gold necklace. She next wore a red long-sleeved knee-length shirt dress with a jacket collar. She finished her look with a black belt, a black pocket square and a red clutch. She accessorized her look with a pair of gold earrings, a gold bracelet and a gold necklace. She next wore a scarlet-colored silk blouse and pants ensemble. The blouse was band-collared and long-sleeved; the pants were pleated slacks. She finished her look with a gold belt and a pair of red high-heeled sandals. She accessorized her look with a pair of gold earrings, a gold necklace and a gold pinky ring. For her final scene, she wore an all-white shirt and pants ensemble. The shirt had long sleeves; the pants were pleated slacks. She topped it off with a blue knitted blazer-style sweater. She accessorized her look with a pair of gold earrings, a gold bracelet and a gold necklace.
