The Luckiest Girl

a 1980 article about Shelley

An article about Shelley appeared on the British magazine for girls Jackie on February of 1980. It was entitled "I'm One of the Luckiest Girls Alive" and revealed a little about her background and her experience as one of Charlie's Angels. She also dispelled rumors that she didn't get along with her co-stars, saying they were "all horrible lies."

Surf's Up. Sun's Out.

Shelley appeared in sidebar ads for Tampax in 1970. One of them had the tag line "Surf's Up. Sun's Out." and featured Shelley surfing at a beach. It proved that Tampax could be worn anywhere, doing any activity. And Shelley was adorable in the ad.

Hack And Severance

Hack and Severance? A slasher flick? Well, not so. In 1996, Supermodels Shelley Hack and Joan Severance starred in a telefilm that cast the two as the wives of a bigamist (Or should that be trigamist? Nicole Eggert played the third wife.) Frequent Flyer starred Jack Wagner who played bigamist Nick Rawlings. He married JoBeth, Alison and Miriam (the women, respectively.) When it was first aired, the film beat out the 1996 People Choice Awards in the ratings. It's a good movie, so if you ever get the chance, watch it.

A Seventeen Staple

Shelley was a Seventeen magazine staple from the mid-'60s until the early-'70s. In 1971, she made the cover of the March issue and appeared in most of the spreads inside the mag. One of them featured her in blue jeans and a quilted jacket along with a young male model.

The Stepfather DVD

Love this version of The Stepfather DVD, because it features Shelley prominently on the cover. Terry O'Quinn did a fantastic job as the title character, but Shelley and Jill Schoelen turned out fine performances as well and should rightfully appear on the cover. Along with Terry (bloody 4x4 wood in hand - a very memorable scene) Shelley and Jill (in shadow) are shown on the cover art.

SCHÖNHEIT

In the early 80s, Shelley appeared on the German mag Echo der Frau (Echo Woman) a weekly women's magazine that started in 1973. The mag pegged her as a SCHÖNHEIT (a beauty) and they were right. Shelley was absolutely beautiful, just like the flowers in her arms. And I love her hair in this - long and smooth. And the way she was styled... Oh, I take it back, she's more than beautiful. She was a knockout.

Hang In There

a 1984 writeup on Shelley

Shelley talked about her career so far as well as her latest telefilm Single Bars, Single Women on a 1984 writeup about her entitled "Shelley Hack Hangs in There." Shelley kept positive when it came to her career and viewed everything she had gone through as a learning experience. She said, "The more I work, I find that it's the people you work with and the role you're playing that count." And she was right about that. Shelley had worked with some of the best in the business like Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, George Segal and Dick Van Dyke, just to name a few.
