    Here's my Shelley Hack story: In 1980, me, my sister and my brother-in-law were going out to dinner on Broadway in New York City. I saw this strange couple. The woman was tall, blonde and very elegantly-dressed with an evening dress and her makeup done perfectly. Her date walked with his arm around her, wearing dirty jeans and and old denim jacket. He was much shorter than the woman, his dark hair did not look like it had been combed or brushed for a couple of days and he had several days worth of beard stubble on his face.
    I just thought "What a weird-looking couple" when they walked by, but my sister turned to her husband and said "My God! That's Shelley Hack with Al Pacino!"

      Yes, it's not like she was Rupert Pupkin and kidnapped Aaron Spelling. I liked the way she came off, but I was never sure of her as being one of Charlie's Angels. Something was missing. Tanya Roberts was very likable, too, nothing wrong with her, but as an Angel....?

    Shelley was always my favorite angel - she had the looks and the class to fill the void left by Kate Jackson. I'll never understand why they didn't give the character of Tiffany Welles a big introductory episode, like they did for Cheryl Ladd and Tanya Roberts. It might have made the difference, rather than waiting until mid-season to have an episode centered around Shelley's character ("Angels On Campus", episode 10 - November 28, 1979). Always a fan of Shelley Hack, I also enjoyed "Cutter To Houston" and "Jack & Mike".

    I remember Shelley Hack best from the commercials she did for Charlie by Revlon. I think I remember seeing Mel Torme singing; or, maybe I heard him singing. The songs all had the same words; but, sometimes the song was smooth like jazz and sometimes it was more upbeat like squaredance music. When I was watching Charlie's Angels, Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, and Jaclyn Smith were the Angels.

      Acting ability did make a difference on Charlie's Angels. Kate Jackson was a trained and experienced actress and it definitely showed. She also had a great screen presence. Kate anchored the show and it is no surprise that the remaining Angels couldn't carry CA after she left. But the producers (and writers) putting all the blame on Shelley Hack were very unfair. She was not the problem as no one could have replaced Kate. And the story lines were never brilliant and kept getting worse. Something that Kate Jackson had always been vocal about. It all could have worked out if the producers had tried harder. I could really see Sabrina and Tiffany working together. In fact Kate and Shelley actually met once in the early 80s and Kate said that Shelley was very nice.

Here's one scene: when she goes to the house of the kid whose cop father beats him up and she repeats: "Sargent, sargent" mechanically, with 0 conviction, back to back, just because it's in the script. 0 acting ability that one. Yet, she lasted the longest. So put a cork in it already!

    I was 11 yrs old in the fall of 1979 and I was upset that Kate Jackson was not in Season 4. However, I loved the new tall chic Angel (Shelley Hack). I never noticed that her acting was that horrible. Looking back though, her acting was probably the same or a bit better than Jaclyn or Farrah's first season on Charlie's Angels. By age 12 on March 17, 1980 🍀, I was a bit blue to hear that Shelley Hack was being let go. I recall a tabloid that Farrah may replace Shelley. Farrah's film career wasn't taking off and she hinted to producers to replace Ms. Hack. The producers passed on that idea and had enough of Farrah. Sadly, Season 4 of Charlie's Angels lost two angels: Shelley and Farrah. Anyway, I recall Shelley Hack in a great episode of Tales in the Crypt and Diagnosis Murder and The Love Boat 🚢 💘. Also, she had a made for tv movie that was a ratings hit titled Frequent Flyer ✈️. I like her 💜💚🧡.

    Shelley was the classiest angel of all. Farrah was free spirited and earthy, Jaclyn was a classic beauty, Kate was brainy and sporty with sex appeal, and Cheryl was the gorgeous girl next door with charm. Shelley was more the East Coast blonde. I loved seeing her in the university episode. She was chic and understated with a velvety voice. I enjoyed her season on the show. It aired when I was just a kid, so I could not stay up late to see all episodes, but I loved the season with Shelley because she was effortlessly sophisticated and warm. I rewatched CA on TUBI and RUclips, but to be honest, I skipped season five. Nothing against Tanya Roberts, but her character was kind of showgirl looks and a bit pedestrian. The vibe changed in the last season. People should have given Shelley more time. I also admire her work in Bosnia!

    Ps: or maybe Shelley could have been Kate’s highschool best friend who moved away after graduation & went back to Boston where she was originally from, then went to her hometown police academy. So many other ways that would have given her a great welcome…. and also could have had the cornerstone post, passed to her, but accepted by the other 2 angels….. the
    Now….. in my opinion Tanya Roberts had it even worse - for the producers to decide to go on in the intro about her being a “model.“ a MODEL!?!?! What the heck does that have to do with having the qualifications to be a police woman or detective!?!?! Someone may say “well she was a PCI” - OK I’ll except that, but then wouldn’t they have mentioned THATS in her intro, that she was an informant and at least mention a few of her skills there, I’m sure the biggest one being that she was a rat, and sold people down the river. Not a good trait for an angel I don’t suppose, maybe that’s why they didn’t mention it. She should’ve simply just been a police woman like the rest of them, maybe from Florida? or Oregon? The model thing, in my opinion doom the entire show, for even as a little kid watching the show, I thought that was absolutely absurd and made no sense whatsoever - as i came to that conclusion as a 10 yr old.

Didn't appreciate Ms. Hack during the original run of the show when I was 13 when her season aired but really enjoy her episodes on second look since I've bought the complete series on DVD. Question for you- Do you know if the episode that featured Barbara Stanwyck as a female counterpart to Charlie along with hunky male detectives was intended to be a spin-off that didn't fly? Can't remember what season that was off hand. Have always wondered though?

      Thea Stewart, the first few episodes of Charlie's Angels were high rated. It was announced that the show had survived Kate Jackson's departure. However, each time Farrah appeared, the show took a dip. And Farrah's last episode was the LOWEST rated episode of the entire season. So the cause of the lower ratings was due to Farrah, not Shelley. However, the 4th season was still in the top 20. That's pretty respectable for an aging show. And I thought Shelley was great on the show and was blamed unfairly when it was Farrah who caused the ratings to take a dip.

    I discovered this actress some time ago, but surprisingly not from Charlie's Angels like a lot of other people. That wasn't my generation. But I watched an episode of Tales from the Crypt, which was quite different for her I think for anyone else who has seen it. Definitely more edgy than I was used to seeing her. But seeing this video, it seems that she was given so many chances, probably based more on her beauty, but she had some pretty big chances but just never made it. I'm guessing she probably just didn't have that star quality. In fact, as time goes on, I am realizing just how important it is to have that magnetism in front of the camera. You can look good and pretty, but some people make it really big for that very reason, and someone like her, did better on the small screen with smaller roles. Doesn't make anyone better or the other, but she does well I think in guest spots in TV shows.

    Shelley was a great replacement for Kate, IF KATE WERE REPLACED, as I just hated to see her go….. but i loved Shelley as her replacement….. what doomed Shelley was her introduction starting with the SHOW’S INTRO…. It was a bad sign when her billing showed her running in the same flavor as Kris’s character’s intro; then showed her shooting at the gun range - (sound familiar yet?) yep, u guessed it, just like Kate, & finally, (if you are a CA’s fan and this next intro shot is not familiar, shame on you) her becoming frustrated at having to type more reports after finishing the last one… YOU GUESSED IT, just like an angel in the first season…. It was repeat, rerun, rewarm, & redo just like many episodes would soon be. I have always wondered, why couldn’t they have had her intro showing police duties such as: talking on the Police radio, or working in the female prison, maybe locking a jail cell for an inmate (as many law-enforcement officers start off doing in the headquarters); and finally instead of typing, show her closing a file cabinet drawer, & being handed another stack of things to file, and showing a frustrating look as with the typing scene……
    No, what happens is she is made to repeat the same exact scenes as other angels have already done, making her appear to be a copycat, or even worse just another run of the mill angel not adding anything to the club. I personally think this was done purposely. And it was despicable really. I have heard rumors through the years, and I believe them, that a certain producer Absolutely did not like Shelley at all. I’ve also heard it was simply because his choice for new Angel was not picked. Talk about unfair! That’s a shame, my heart goes out to her for that. Because of this producers dislike for Shelly, he did nothing but give her a hard time, few lines, and generally make her appear as though she could not act. Again, the grapevine says he wanted her to fail, hoping that she would be quickly replaced with the actress that he had wanted to take Kates place. Oh well! That did not happen either! All it did, was ruined Shelly‘s chance to be excepted, and she did not deserve that. Shelley should’ve been brought in as a strong personality, like Sebrina’s stance in the troop. Kelly’s character, from jump street, it was not meant to be the corner stone. It switched the dynamics, becoming the cornerstone was just what Tiffany‘s character needed to welcome her on. She should’ve been seen, and introduced without billing, perhaps maybe two shows before Kate left. She could’ve been introduced as Kate‘s cousin from Boston, visiting, who also was a law enforcement officer…. Perhaps she could’ve played and the ensemble piece for a two-part episode, becoming the hero, rescuing the angels. There’s just so many angles that could’ve been used….. The bottom line is it was sad for Shelley, and certainly not fair even a little bit. She is a very classy lady and a wonderful actress.
