Shelley appeared on many covers during her tenure as a Supermodel. The first cover was on was Glamour magazine in November of 1964. That same month, she also appeared in the cover of Seventeen magazine (with teen Supermodel Colleen Corby). Other covers followed, from major magazines to booklets. In 1971, she appeared on the cover of Ponchos Defined. It was a booklet released by the American Thread Company that featured crochet and knitting patterns Two-for-the-Road (crochet), Country Miss (crochet), Gaucho Poncho (crochet), Autumn Motif (crochet), Set-up ‘71 (knit skirt and poncho) and Caper Coat (knit). Shelley modeled the Autumn Motif and the Two-for-the-Road patterns; and she looked sensational.

Charlie's Newest Angel

Shelley appeared on the July 1979 issue of Us magazine

In around June of 1979, it was announced that Shelley was definitely playing Angel no. 5 Tiffany Welles on the mega hit TV Charlie's Angels - after the mistaken announcement by the press that Bond Girl Barbara Bach was taking over Kate Jackson's slot on the show. Everyone wanted to get to know Charlie's newest Angel, so Shelley was hounded by the press even before she filmed any scene for the series. One of the first writeups about her came out on Us magazine where she said she saw the opportunity as more than a chance to smile and look pretty.

Shelley became THE ultimate Charlie Girl in 1976, after the release of her unforgettable commercial which featured Bobby Short singing the jingle. Her exposure as Revlon's quintessential new woman brought her worldwide fame. And then in 1979, she suddenly became a Charlie's Angel. She was now both THE Charlie Girl and a Charlie's Angel; and her fame grew even bigger. It now seemed like she was a celebrity endorser of the brand. Her 1979 Charlie commercial (this time with Mel Torme singing the jingle) appears on oregonlive.com's "The 25 Best Celebrity TV Ads Ever". Shelley's impact as THE Charlie Girl was felt all over the world. Many were inspired by the kind of woman she represented - confident, strong, independent - which is why "Shelley Hack, THE Charlie Girl" is an icon in itself.

Shelley's 1979 Charlie ad with Mel Torme (where she wore an outfit by Sam Originals) never had a corresponding print ad, except a Christmas version of the ad where she was striding that stride with Santa Claus right by her side (which came out in Christmas 1978). Wouldn't it have been great if she had one with just her in that glam outfit?

Shelley starred in Cutter to Houston with Jim Metzler and Alec Baldwin in 1983. In 1988, the series was aired in Germany as Die Texas-Klinik which actually translates to The Texas Clinic. Many German-language fan magazines featured the show because Alec had become a big star via Knots Landing and people still remembered Shelley from Charlie's Angels.

Inspiring Angels

This 2017, Shelley along with Charlie's Angels co-stars Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd appeared on the pages of Femina, a Swedish-language mag. It mentioned how much fashion now is inspired by the fashion the Angels wore back in the day. What it says roughly translates as:

Then & Now 

How to Get the Style
Put on jeans
Accentuate your waist with a belt
Filled-in Shirt Is A Must

 
We are inspired by:

IN THE SERIES: CHARLIE'S ANGLES
STYLE: The Free 70s

EVERYONE LOVED THE THREE (AWESOME!) women who starred in Charlie's Angels, the TV series that took the world by storm during the second half of the 1970s. The original Angels were Farrah Fawcett-Majors, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith; but the two first two were soon replaced by Cheryl Ladd and Shelley Hack respectively.

The "Angels" were among the first female action stars during the era as they had to catch the bad guys in their roles as unconventional, cool and adventurous private eyes. And they were also known for their elephant pants, distinct hairstyles and high heels, which became passe for a while. But today, we're again inspired by their high-waisted feminine tops.

JCPenney Looks C

Shelley in a spread for JCPenney Spring and Summer 1977 catalog

Shelley appeared in many spreads throughout the JCPenney Spring and Summer 1977 catalog. She modeled the many looks the catalog offered for women to look chic for that summer. The Spectator Look, The Active Look and The Sweatered Look were some of the choices women could wear with confidence. And Shelley showed readers how to chicly put them all together.

closeups of Shelley from the spread

In the spread called "The Active Look", Shelley modeled sportswear coordinates in sporty bright colors - namely orange, turquoise and green, with white as a neutral. The set was made up of a Drawstring Jacket, Short-Longer-Longest Pants and Colorful Toppings which were pullover sleeveless and sleeved tops. The coordinates could be mixed and matched, were sold separately and were great for summer that season.

Shelley also modeled accessories that went great with the sportswear coordinates. She wore a necklace of plastic and gold-tone chain, as well as square-shaped earrings available in pierced and clip-on styles. She wore summer shoes, a visor, a scarf and a bag - all of which went well with the coordinates, all of which looked fab on Shelley.
