Zingzing Along

on Gamble Aldens 1970 Fall and Winter catalog

Shelley appeared on many spreads throughout Gamble Aldens 1970 Fall and Winter catalog. And in the spread called "Juniors Zingzing along through the '70's", she modeled the "Viva The Vest" look. It was an outfit made up of two pieces - a thigh-long vest with a deep V that closed up with gilt buttons worn over a shift dress with a banded neck and zipped at the back. Gold button earrings, a golden bangle and T-strap pumps finished her look. A platinum blonde wig updated her look as well. Shelley looked ready to zing along through the '70s.

Meeting Fans in 2009

Shelley with ultimate Angeologist Mike Pingel

Thank you Mike for posting the pic on your Facebook page.

In July 18 and 19 of 2009, Shelley attended the Hollywood Collector's Show in Burbank, California, where she first met fellow Charlie's Angel Tanya Roberts for the first time. Many fans were thrilled to see them together. But think about how ecstatic fans would be if all of Charlie's living Angels attended such an event. Seeing Kate Jackson,  Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd, Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts together, signing autographs or even in front of an audience taking about their Angels experiences would be a dream come true. Isn't it about time this happened? Can someone, please, organize a reunion? Mike Pingel? Oprah? Anyone?

Outside Action

Shelley in an ad for Gimbels East, 1975

Shelley appeared on many ads throughout her modeling career. One of them was for Gimbels East, the first department store on Manhattan's Upper East Side. With the tagline "Outside Action", she modeled a heavy ribbed turtleneck sweater with a full cowl collar and turn-back cuffs that was perfect windy sailing days as well as cool camping nights. Pre-washed cotton denim jeans, sporty sandals and a matching sun hat finished her look. Shelley looked perfect for the cool outdoors.

New Angel

a writeup about Shelley from Modern Screen, 1979

Shelley joined the cast of Charlie's Angels in 1979 and was caught by surprise by the amount of press interest there was in her casting. But she was/is a trooper, so she got herself together and faced the task of becoming an overnight superstar head-on. But many writeups about her having a hard time navigating the spotlight surfaced. Some even said that she was "talking about leaving the show after this one season". Well, Shelley did just one season of Charlie's Angels. She later said it was more than enough for her.

Fanny Sweaters

on the Coats & Clark's leaflet Fanny Sweaters, 1973

Shelley appeared on fashion leaflets during her modeling days. She appeared in a number of leaflets for Coats & Clark's. One of them was Studio Card No. 10, Fanny Sweaters. Fanny sweaters are long sweaters that covers the wearer's fanny or behind. The leaflet featured four different fanny sweaters that were great for any occasion. And Shelley looked fab in all of them.

Dr. Gilbert

Shelley in a promo pic for Cutter to Houston, 1983

Shelley starred in her second TV series in 1983, Cutter to Houston. She played Dr. Beth Gilbert, an ambitious surgeon from San Francisco  who had her eye in doing heart surgery in a big city hospital in Houston, Texas. But she ended up "doing hernias and hammertoes in Dogpatch" - in a small-town hospital in Cutter. Shelley's co-stars were Jim Metzler and Alec Baldwin. The series was put in a bad time-slot and, in spite of some good reviews, was canceled after just seven episodes., leaving two finished episodes unaired. Let's hope the series is finally released in DVD.
