Lovely Portrait

Shelley had been a model since her teens (she liked modeling as a summer job, it beat waitressing); and many portraits of her were taken ever since she started. One of the loveliest is a portrait of her taken in around 1978. She was in profile and was lit from above. She was a picture of loveliness.

Pants Outfit

Shelley appeared in many spreads throughout Sears Spring Through Summer 1974 catalog, modeling the department store's latest fashion outings. In one spread, she modeled the Pants Outfit with Fitted Jacket ensemble. It was made up of a notched-collared 2-button closing puffed-sleeved fitted jacket with a matching pull-on style pants with an elasticized waistband. It was perfect for the spring and summer days and evenings of that season. And Shelley was just lovely in it.

Shelley starred in the TV movie Bridesmaids in 1989. She was part of a cast of four women who, in the film, go back to their hometown for the wedding of a fifth friend. Stephanie Faracy, Sela Ward and Brooke Adams rounded out the cast. The film is light and is a delight to watch. The cast worked well together and got great support from Audra Lindley and Jack Coleman. If you find it, watch it.

Which One Are You?

Shelley appeared in many ads for Vicky Vaughn in the early 1970s. One series of ads asked the questions "Which Vicky Are You? Vicky Vaughn or Vicky Petite?" R & M Kaufmann, Inc, a manufacturer of ladies dresses, came up with a junior division line. It was called Vicky Vaughn and Vicky Petite (for the petite young lady). Many ads were released to promote the line from the 1950s to the 1970s.

The 40th anniversary of the airing of the pilot of Charlie's Angels came up last March 21, 2016. The pilot starred Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith as the Angels. David Doyle and David Ogden Stiers rounded out the main cast; and Tommy Lee Jones and Bo Hopkins had guest starring roles. John Forsythe (the voice of Charles Townsend) wasn't credited, as he wanted. The pilot was a smash and went on to become a phenomenal hit TV series (but sans David Ogden Stiers, whose character was deemed too severe). Cheryl Ladd, Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts would join the series in later seasons. The original Charlie's Angels TV series spawned numerous remakes and reboots including Angels '88, Charlie's Angels 2000, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and Charlie's Angels 2011. The Angels franchise is one of the most successful ever; and, last year, there were talks about another reboot of the franchise. Check it out at:

And Shelley looked smashing it in.

Third Foray

a promo pic of Shelley for the TV series Jack and Mike

Shelley's third foray into series TV was in the form of Jack and Mike (1986 to 1987). A dramady about yuppies, it starred Shelley was Jackie Shea and Tom Mason as Mike Brennan - hence the title. It was about a busy and successful couple (she was a newspaper columnist, he was the owner of popular restaurants) who couldn't find time to be a couple. Let's pray the series makes it to DVD.
