It’s Shelley Hack!  The former Charlie’s Angels star turned film producer was seen on a rare public outing in Connecticut.

Hack played Tiffany Welles on the hit show for one season from 1979-1980 – replacing show veteran Kate Jackson. Hack beat out stars including Michelle Pfeiffer and Barbara Bach for the role.

She was later unceremoniously replaced on the show by Tanya Roberts after ABC released Hack from her contract in February 1980. 

Hack said in a statement: ‘They can say I didn’t work out, but it isn’t true. What happened was a network war. A business decision was made. Change the timeslot or bring on some new publicity. How to get publicity? A new Angel hunt. Who is the obvious person to replace? I am — the new kid on the block.’

Hack sH๏τ to fame as a model and landed the cover of Glamour magazine while still a teenager.

As well as Annie Hall, she starred in If Ever I See You Again in 1978.

Her film credits also include Vanities (1981), Cathy Long in Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy (1983), Troll (1986) and The Stepfather (1987). 

Hack starred on TV series Cutter to Houston (1983) and Jack and Mike (1986–87.)
