Biography

Propulsée mannequin dès l'âge de 15 ans, Shelley Hack devient l'une des top-modèles les plus populaires au monde dans les années 1960-70. Elle défile pour les plus grandes marques et les plus grands couturiers. De 1975 à 1981, Shelley Hack devient l’ambassadrice du parfum « Charlie » et décroche le plus gros contrat financier qu'un mannequin n'ait, alors, jamais obtenu. Son visage est assuré pour 1 million de dollars, soit la police d'assurance la plus chère jamais enregistrée jusqu'ici dans l'univers du cosmétique.

C'est en interprétant le rôle de Tiffany Welles dans la série Drôles de dames que Shelley Hack devient une star de renommée mondiale. Dans les années 1980, elle réussit à casser son image, jugée par la presse trop BCBG et lisse, en devenant l’actrice incontournable de nombreux thrillers ou films d'horreur. Elle triomphe notamment avec Terry O'Quinn dans Le Beau-père (The Stepfather) de Joseph Ruben.

À la fin des années 1990, elle se lance dans la politique en rejoignant le Parti démocrate. Elle devient Membre de l'Organisation des Nations unies (ONU) où elle siège à la Commission de consolidation de la paix et du Pacific Council on International Policy (PCIP) où elle remplit quelques missions internationales. Dans la foulée, elle crée la SHMC (Shelley Hack Media Consultancy), une compagnie chargée de créer des médias indépendants comme des journaux, la radio et la télévision dans des pays sortant soit de guerre ou d'un régime autocratique (dictature).

Durant une décennie, Shelley Hack n'accepte pas de revenir sur ses carrières de top-modèle ou de comédienne. Elle a, toutefois, répondu à l'invitation de Oprah Winfrey, le 23 janvier 2008, pour évoquer ses 46 ans de carrière (le talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show est le programme le plus regardé aux États-Unis).

Au début de l'année 2009, Shelley Hack se retire de toute vie publique et abandonne ses différents mandats diplomatiques. Elle est pourtant apparue dans plusieurs conventions et des soirées de gala.

Elle revient, pourtant, à Hollywood, dès 2010, en créant avec son mari, Harry Winer, la société de production de films Smash Media. Shelley Hack produit en 2011 le téléfilm "Lucky Christmas" pour la chaîne de TV américaine Hallmark Channel. À cette occasion, elle paraît le 14 janvier 2012, lors de la cérémonie "Hallmark Channel TCA party Winter 2012".

Shelley Hack produit régulièrement des téléfilms pour la chaîne de télévision Hallmark Channel et souhaite adapter le roman Zombie Blondes pour le cinéma.

The film begins with the Potter family moving into a new apartment complex in San Francisco. While unpacking, their young daughter Wendy is attacked by a grotesque little creature, who had long ago been transformed from a powerful wizard into a troll. Using a magic crystal green ring, it captures Wendy and possesses her form. After meeting the other eccentric tenants, the family notices Wendy's unusual behavior (roaring, biting, tossing people across rooms, punching people in the groin), but they attribute her behavior to the stress of the move. The only one that notices something is terribly wrong is Wendy's brother, Harry Potter Jr.

After he explains how it works (including a "non-return key" that keeps the machine at the traveler's destination and a "vaporizing equalizer" that keeps the traveler and machine on equal terms), police constables arrive at the house searching for Jack the Ripper. A bag with blood-stained gloves belonging to one of Herbert's friends, a surgeon named John Leslie Stevenson (David Warner), leads them to conclude that Stevenson might be the infamous killer. Wells races to his laboratory, but the time machine is gone.
