In March of 1987, Shelley Hack attended the 24th Annual Publicist's Guild of America Awards (APGAA). The Publicist's Guild of America is a union that has represented film and television publicists throughout the US and Canada since 1955. For its members, it negotiates base salaries and benefits. Among the union's major activities is the Publicists Annual Awards where outstanding film and television marketing campaigns are recognized by the members. The 1987 awards ceremony was held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, and Shelley attended the event with her then constant date, director Harry Winer (who later became her husband). Marlee Matlin, Piper Laurie, Angie Dickinson, Gerald McRaney and Carl Reiner were also in attendance.
