Yardley or Yardley of London is one of the oldest international companies that specializes in cosmetics, toiletries and fragrances. The British brand was founded in 1770 and produced mainly soaps and perfumes. It branched out to cosmetics in the second half of the 20th century, but the line was discontinued by around the 1980s. In the 1970s, Yardley released a line of beauty products that were targeted at teenage girls and young women. The Yardley Mixis Fingermix Eyeshadows kit was one of them. It was an eyeshadow kit for young women who wanted to create their very own, their personal eyeshadow colors. The kit contained five tubes of color for finger-mixing into anyone's preferred colors. It contained three tubes of the primary colors blue, red and yellow. It also contained two tubes of white for modifying/mixing into the created colors - pearl white and matte white. It also contained a spatula and a mixing dish for convenience. All of them were housed in a colorful and youthful cosmetics box. And Shelley showed how Yardley could make anyone look fabulous.

Empowering Movie

Shelley in a newspaper ad

for Frequent Flyer, 1996

In 1996, Shelley starred in the telefilm Frequent Flyer along with Jack Wagner, Joan Severance and Nicole Eggert. It was about polygamous commercial airline pilot Nick Rawlings (Jack Wagner) who was married to two different women in two different states, namely JoBeth Rawlings (Shelley) and Alison Rawlings (Joan). And during the course of the film, he marries another woman, Miriam (Nicole), in another state. But when JoBeth finds out her husband is married to two other women, instead of falling apart, she takes matters into her own hands and turns the cards around in her favor. The movie is well-paced and a really good watch - as well as very empowering for women. It was first aired in March 10, 1996 and beat out the 1996 People's Choice Awards in the ratings. It is currently out on DVD. If you can get it, watch it.

November 1973

Shelley appeared on many issues of what was known as the Seven Sisters group of magazines. The Seven Sisters magazines were Woman's Day, Redbook, McCall's, Ladies' Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, Family Circle and Better Homes and Gardens. They all catered to married women with children rather than single working women. The magazines featured homemaking and crafts, food and nutrition, health and fitness, beauty and fashion advice and articles. Shelley appeared in the November 1973 issue of Woman's Day magazine, in a spread called "Short Coats Make It Big." She showed readers how to style a pair of frisky fashionable gadabout coats in two different ways. She first wore the Shawl-Collared Camel Coat by Carol Cohen for Braefair (which was in wool plush, had raglan sleeves and buttoned at the waist) over a red blouse and wool plaid pants by Braetan combo. She finished her look with a matching wool knit hat and scarf by Hansen Knits and a pair of matching boots. She accessorized her look with a leather-strapped watch and a gold lapel pin. And Shelley looked fabulous and ready for autumn. (For more, check out: Shirt Coats Make It Big A)

Public Defender Role

for Night Court, 1984

In 1984, Shelley joined the cast of the nighttime sitcom Night Court for its second season. She was cast to play Public Defender Christine Sullivan and the character was going to be romantically involved with Judge Harry Stone (played by Harry Anderson). Promotional pics were taken, scripts were developed and the announcement was made. "I'll be doing my research at the New York court," Shelley said, "I always look forward to researching a role. It will be interesting." Although better known, at the time, for being a dramatic actress, Shelley wasn't averse to doing comedy. "Comedy is a complete departure for me," she said, "but it's something I've always wanted to do and, besides, I love the show already just as a viewer."

with Shelley as Christine Sullivan

But when the series started shooting, at the last minute, producer Reinhold Weege decided she wasn't right for the part. And Shelley felt the same way. "I liked the show. They offered me the role. I went and met with them and liked them," Shelley said. "But what happened was the role was changed somewhere between that meeting and my first day on the set," she explained. According to Richard Moll, who played bailiff Bull Shannon on the show, "Shelley Hack was very sweet. She lasted about 16 minutes, as I remember, yeah. That was tough." So the actress and the producer mutually and amicably agreed to call the whole thing off. Ellen Foley was brought in for that season to replace Shelley - as a new character, public defender Billie Young. Markie Post took over the role of Miss Sullivan for one episode. A year later, Markie Post became a permanent part of the cast.

In 1976, Shelley signed a ground-breaking exclusive modeling contract with Revlon. She was hand-picked to represent the Revlon Charlie brand, as she was the embodiment of the brand's spirit - free, independent, confident. Shelley appeared in numerous commercials and countless print ads for Charlie. In 1978, she appeared on the Montgomery Ward Christmas 1978 catalog, in a spread for the Charlie collection, promoting the various Charlie products available for purchase and delivery straight to the homes of interested consumers. Available were Charlie 2 1/4 oz. Concentrated Cologne with natural atomizer, Charlie 3/4 oz. Touch Tip Perfume, Charlie 3 oz. Body Silk Perfumed Powder in shaker can, Charlie 5 oz.

Yuppie Series

Shelley's third foray into series television was Jack and Mike in 1986. Aired at the ABC network, the series explored the life of journalist Jackie Shea (played by Shelley) and restauranteur Mike Brennan (played Tom Mason), a married couple with busy careers trying to make their marriage work. The yuppie phenomenon exploded in the 1980s when more and more women began entering the workforce, climbing up the corporate ladder and holding positions previously held exclusively by men in past generations. It debuted to decent ratings and received decent reviews, with a few scathing writeups here and there. After a first order of a pilot and 12 episodes, ABC ordered more episodes; and the series looked like it was in for a long run. Then, it was suddenly canceled to the disappointment of fans, with the final episode aired on Mar 24, 1987.

Un-Clinging Slip

from an ad for JCPenney, 1971

Shelley appeared in many ads and catalogs for JCPenney in the 1970s. In December of 1971, she appeared in a JCPenney ad with the tagline "Un-clinging underthings. Our prices won't give you any static, either!" which featured a couple of slips, lightweight undergarments to be worn underneath dresses. It featured a half slip and a full slip, both in blue (but also available in white, nude, pink and yellow) and edged with delicate white lace. They were guaranteed not to cling or creep and ride up. Shelley wore the full slip and accessorized her look with a matching hair pin and a delicate chain bracelet. And Shelley looked terrific in her un-clinging slip.

"One Love... Two Angels Part 2"

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").

"One Love... Two Angels Part 2"

For the episode "One Love... Two Angels Part 2," Shelley went through three outfit changes. For her first scene, she wore a light purple sweater top over a pair of pleated khaki slacks. She finished her look with a horizontally-striped tan and khaki belt and a pair of beige open-toe high-heeled sandals. She accessorized her look with a beige shoulder bag. She next wore an all-white ensemble made up of a white V-neck sweater top over a pair of white jeans. She finished her look with a pair of beige-colored boots and accessorized it with a gold necklace. She wore the same ensemble with a blue hard hat for the construction site scene. She next wore an all-red ensemble made up of a red blazer-style blouse over a pair of red slacks. A gold chain belt finished her look. A pair of gold earrings and a gold necklace accessorized her look.

Stayed a Hit - TV's Top 20 Shows

for Charlie's Angels, 1979

Shelley told TV Tales: Charlie's Angels in 2002, "I never expected to be there more than a year and I wasn't." She added, "I did my year and I moved on. That was just fine. That was plenty for me." In 1979, for its 4th season, Shelley joined the cast of Charlie’s Angels alongside Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd - as Kate Jackson's fill-in. Shelley signed a one-year contract with the show which had a three-year option; and she opted to leave Charlie's Angels and move on to other things after a year. It seems Shelley felt so much pressure when she became the new Angel; it seemed everything was riding on her shoulders. In the Nielsen ratings, Charlie's Angels had fallen from #4 over-all in season 2 to #12 over-all in season 3. In season 4, Shelley was brought in with the hopes of bringing the series back into TV's top 10 shows.

a short writeup about Shelley

from 1980

But Shelley was given little to do or say early in the 4th season, a crucial time because her character was being introduced. "It was an awkward introduction. I was hardly in the first couple of shows. I don't know why that is," Shelley told TV Tales: Charlie's Angels. In 2021, Cheryl Ladd told Charlie's Angels historian and author Mike Pingel, "I just felt like they didn't help her (Shelley), kind of, really create something more solid for her character. It wasn't her fault. She just, kind of, got words." So, Shelley expected to boost the show's ratings by her "mere presence alone." Additionally, it seems she got the short end of the stick. In 2026, Kate Jackson told The Hollywood Reporter, "I met her (Shelley) and we talked about it. She said it felt personal. There'd be some event and the three of them were invited, but they sat her behind a big concrete post or something. She's really smart and funny. There was no reason to treat her that badly." Shelley told People magazine after she left the series in 1980, "I feel like I've been sunbathing on Three Mile Island." Nevertheless, Charlie's Angels finished at #18 over-all (tied with CHiPs) in the Nielsen ratings that year - it was a hit TV series and it stayed a hit. Charlie's Angels was one of the TV's top 20 shows for four seasons, from 1976 to 1980. (For more, check out: She Did Her Best)

July 1975

Shelley appeared on many spreads for many catalogs from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s. Mail-order catalogs were at the height of its popularity at the time. They were big-book size publications that contained a list of general merchandise from, usually, a department store that were available for purchase and delivery straight to the homes of consumers. Everything from homeware to toys were featured in these catalogs... as well as garments and the latest fashion pieces. Many Supermodels - like Cheryl Tiegs, Beverly Johnson, Patti Hansen and Shelley Smith, just to name a few - appeared in the most popular catalogs of the era. Many models who eventually became actresses also appeared in these catalogs - like Veronica Hamel, Erin Grey, Kim Basinger and Pam Dawber.

Andre' Courreges, Yves St. Laurent Rive Gauche, Zandra Rhoades, Givenchy and Erminegildo Zegna were some of designers they carried. Aside from apparel, Sakowitz had "home & lifestyle" and "ultimate gifts" among its high-end merchandise, all of which appeared on Sakowitz's catalog. In their July 1975 catalog, Shelley appeared on the apparel and accessories section. She wore the "Denimite!" look - a smashing look with prewashed denim. She wore a yellow cotton tank top over a pair of back-yoked denim jeans with wider belt loops. She topped it off with a yoked denim safari jacket with 4 pockets, pocketed sleeves and an adjustable D-ring around the waist. She finished her look with a two-toned leather belt and accessorized it with a yellow-orange scarf around her neck. And Shelley looked fabulous as always.

A Great Body of Work

a paparazzi pic of Shelley, 1986

Immediately after leaving Charlie's Angels, Shelley jumped into theater-acting in 1981 via the play Vanities by Jack Heifner. In the following years, she ventured further and did Elizabeth Diggs' Close Ties, and later Born Yesterday. In 1989, she appeared in the John Krizanc play Tamara. She impressed her critics and detractors and received glowing reviews for her stage performances. In 1983, she appeared in the Martin Scorsese film The King of Comedy and held her ground acting-wise opposite acting legend Robert De Niro. Later, she appeared in the 1986 children's fantasy feature Troll with Michael Moriarty (who would later star in Law & Order) and the 1987 cult classic The Stepfather (with Terry O'Quinn and Jill Schoelen) directed by Joseph Ruben. Joseph Ruben was impressed with Shelley's performance in The King of Comedy and had no second thoughts casting her in his film. She would receive great reviews for her acting in Ruben's film. She also played a blind character in the 1989 suspense thriller Blind Fear. On TV, she delivered great work opposite acting veterans George Segal (Trackdown: Finding the Goodbar Killer, 1983), Dick Van Dyke and Sid Ceasar (Found Money, 1983). She worked with Paul Michael Glaser and Tony Danza (Single Bars, Single Women, 1984) with soap superstar Anthony Geary (Kicks, 1985) with Sela Ward and Brooke Adams (Bridesmaids, 1989). She also starred in two of her very own TV series - Cutter to Houston in 1983 with Alec Baldwin, and Jack and Mike from 1986-1987 with Tom Mason. All in all, she racked up a great body of work in the 1980s.

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.

It was a promo for Charlie's brand new, soft, shiny and totally sexy makeup look - the Satin look for the eyes and lips - the Suede look for the face. "We call it fashion for the face" the ad said. It was also a promo for the very special Charlie's Coloring Box For Lips which contained Charlie's Soft-Line Automatic Lip Pencil, Charlie's Lipcolor Toner, Charlie's Extra-Extra Shine Lipstick, 3 of Charlie's Extra-Extra Shine Lip Glosses and a bottle of Charlie Concentrated Perfume Spray.

In 1984, Shelley was cast in the nighttime sitcom Night Court for its second season (replacing Paula Kelly). She was cast to play public defender Christine Sullivan and the character was going to be romantically involved with Judge Harry Stone (played by Harry Anderson).

"Comedy is a complete departure for me," she said, "but it's something I've always wanted to do and, besides, I love the show already just as a viewer." Shelley was excited about her new role. "You don't think I'll be the serious one who has to carry the doom and gloom?" she said.

Standing Room Only: Vanities

Shelley with Annette O'Toole

and Meredith Baxter Birney in a promo pic

for the play Vanities, Nov 1980

In November of 1980, Shelley starred in the Jack Heifner play Vanities which was staged at the Westwood Playhouse in Los Angeles. It was filmed for TV as part of HBO's Standing Room Only series and was aired in 1981. Set in 1963 then 1968 and finally in 1974, the play was about three girls from Texas (as high school cheerleaders, then as college roommates, and finally as young adults) - their friendship and its eventual demise. Shelley played Mary (the confident one) alongside Meredith Baxter Birney who played Joanne (the naïve one), and Annette O'Toole who played Kathy (the planner). Shelley immediately jumped at the opportunity to play Mary after leaving Charlie's Angels. "I didn't want to leave Los Angeles without doing something good," she explained. Although she had no prior stage experience, she was ready to take on the challenge. "I don't know how I got the guts to go right into a play immediately after leaving the series," Shelley said. "I started doing theater for the first time in my life although I'd never been on a stage before." And Shelley's gamble paid off. She received glowing reviews for her performance, surprising many of her critics and detractors... as well as Charlie's Angels producer Ed Lakso who thought she couldn't act and that casting her in Angels was a mistake. "One year after the show, I saw Shelley in the stage play Vanities, and she did a wonderful job," Lakso admitted.

Cutter To Houston, 1983

Shelley's second TV series was Cutter to Houston. It was about three young doctors with markedly different backgrounds and motives. Shelley, Jim Metzler and Alec Baldwin starred as three young doctors who ran a small hospital in the fictitious Texas small town called Cutter, 60 miles from Houston. When they ran into major medical problems that their local facility couldn't handle, they would contact the Texas Medical Center in Houston via a computer hookup - hence the title. The series had a great promise. Shelley had been receiving great reviews for her work on stage and on the big and small screens. Jim Metzler was nominated for a Golden Globe for his supporting role in the 1982 feature film Tex. Alec Baldwin was a rising star. TV Yearbook magazine said it had "a good chance of being a big ratings winner."

Shelley's debut episode on Charlie's Angels, "Love Boat Angels," was partly filmed in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. By then, Shelley's Angels casting was widely known around the world and press coverage on the new Angel was at an all-time high. "Yesterday, I was a schnook, and today I can't get across the street" is how Shelley described her sudden rise to Hollywood superstardom. When they arrived at the Caribbean, she said in astonishment, "When I got off the plane, there were maybe eight million paparazzi. I looked around for Sophia Loren. It was for me. I couldn't believe it." The same was true when they returned from the Caribbean. The paparazzi was at the L.A. Airport (LAX), waiting for their arrival. But this time, Shelley was ready with her chic dark sunglasses.

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.
