Charlie's Angels legend Shelley Hack was spotted out shopping dressed down in a cosy fleece and black trousers.
Life now is a far cry from the fashion flair of the seventies and her on-screen alter ego Tiffany Welles.
Shelley joined hit show Charlie's Angels in 1979 as a replacement for original Angel, Kate Jackson.
But her stint lasted just one season before she was dropped amid slumping ratings.
A the time, Shelley didn't hold back in her criticism of the show's bosses.
She claimed her axe wasn't about talent but telly politics.
Shelley 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."
Shelley was then replaced by Bond girl Tanya Roberts in season five.
While her Angel wings may have been clipped early, Shelley didn't disappear from showbiz.
The former teenage model starred in Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy and cult horror flick The Stepfather.
She continued to carve out a career behind the scenes, producing feel-good Hallmark Channel movies through the 2010s.
Shelley married film director and university professor Harry Winer in 1990.
Together they co-own production company Smash Media, working on Hallmark movies together.
The couple have one child, daughter Devon Rose Winer.

American bombshell 'top name' for next Bond Girl after rapid rise to fame
She's one of the hottest names in showbiz right now, and it looks like Sydney Sweeney is in the running for the biggest role of her career. The blonde bombshell rose to fame in The Handmaid's Tale, later gaining wider recognition in Euphoria and The White Lotus. And with huge roles like the female lead in Anyone But You opposite Glen Powell and a viral moment in the divisive superhero flick Madame Web, it's no surprise that her name has fallen onto the desks of James Bond bosses. Consequently, Sydney is rumoured to be a contender for the next Bond Girl. Not only that, but she already has the backing of Jeff Bezos, whose Amazon acquired creative control of the 007 franchise earlier this year, taking over from Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. According to The Sun, 27-year-old Sydney is close pals with new Bond director Denis Villeneuve, meaning she's already in with all the right people. A source told the publication: 'Sydney is the top name on the casting sheet for Bond. 'Denis believes she is hugely talented, as well as having an alluring appeal to younger generations, vital in modernising the franchise. 'They've hung out together a lot, and he has admired her stratospheric rise.' 'Plus, Sydney has the quality of being athletic and able to perform physical scenes, as well as being feminine and following in the legacy of Bond girls,' added the insider. Indeed, Sydney recently took on arguably her most challenging and physically demanding role to date, playing trailblazing boxer Christy Martin in her biopic. Sydney, who has experience in MMA and combat sports, gained 30Ibs for the part, saying her body was 'completely different' by the end of her transformation. So, she certainly has both the beauty, brains, and brawn to be Bond's next addition, and with her recent attendance at the Bezos wedding, plus looking cosy with former Bond gal Ana de Armas at last year's Toronto Film Festival, you'd be forgiven for already starting to put pieces together. As for her competition, previous actresses tipped for the coveted Bond Girl role include Florence Pugh, who is a hot favourite after working with Villeneuve on Dune 2. Other names floating around include Sydney's Euphoria co-star Zendaya, Bad Sisters actress Eve Hewson, Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan, and ex-Corrie fave Michelle Keegan. The Bond Girl role was first played by Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder in the 1960s, while later actresses include Jane Seymour, Barbara Bach, Eva Green, Michelle Yeoh, Maud Adams, and Halle Berry. As for the Secret Service agent himself, it is yet to be announced who will step into Daniel Craig's shoes after he bowed out in 2021's No Time to Die. Currently, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the runaway favourite, and he has been for a while. The 35-year-old Bullet Train star has seemingly fuelled speculation on several occasions, most notably by signing a deal with Omega, the luxury watch brand that's featured in Bond films since 1995's Golden Eye. And at the 28 Years Later premiere in London last month, he played coy when Deadline asked: 'What are you doing next?' 'I can't talk about it,' he replied before being escorted away. Other than the Kick-Ass star, Theo James, Henry Cavill, Jack Lowden, James Norton, Josh O'Connor, Regé-Jean Page, and Paul Mescal are all potential Bonds, according to the bookies. Jonathan Bailey, Jacob Elordi, Tom Holland, and Timothée Chalamet have also been mentioned in reports. It is not yet known when a decision will be finalised on who our next 007 is, but it's been claimed Amazon is getting closer by the day. Aaron Taylor-Johnson – 11/8 Callum Turner – 16/1 Harris Dickinson – 12/1 Henry Cavill – 10/1 Jack Lowden – 5/1 James Norton – 12/1 Sam C. Wilson – 16/1 Scott Rose-Marsh – 6/1 Theo James – 4/1 Odds taken from Ladbrokes. Just days ago, Mike Hopkins, head of Amazon MGM Studios, brought Bond back to everyone's attention when discussing Villeneuve coming on board. More Trending 'We are honoured that Denis has agreed to direct James Bond's next chapter,' he said. 'He is a cinematic master whose filmography speaks for itself.' The four-time Oscar-nominated director, who is a long-time Bond fanatic, is famous for his work on Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, and the Dune franchise. There's no denying he brings plenty to the table, given how his movies have grossed more than $1.8billion (£1.3bn) worldwide. Got a story?

Fifty Cent trolls Diddy with AI-generated baby oil video
50 Cent has hit out at his old rival Sean 'Diddy' Combs with an AI-generated video referencing Combs' recent legal troubles. Those keeping up to date with showbiz feuds will be aware that 'Fiddy', real name Curtis James Jackson III, doesn't have a lot of time for Combs, who's recently been on trial for several sex-related felonies. Yet despite Combs being acquitted of the most serious charges against him (sex trafficking and racketeering), that hasn't stopped the In Da Club singer from trolling the disgraced music mogul. In a recent Instagram post, the 50-year-old shared an AI-generated video of Combs walking down a catwalk while wearing a 'baby oil costume'. The video is set to the Jody2Good's song Baby Oil Freak Off Party, a track about the allegations against the I'll Be Missing You singer that was released last year after his arrest. Fifty captioned the video, 'I didn't know Diddy walked in the Michael Amiri show, when did he make Bond!' The post is a clear reference to the more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant that law enforcement seized from Combs' homes in Miami and Los Angeles. While the majority of those commenting on Fiddy's video seem to find the post funny, there are several who've taken issue with it. 'Don't you have anything better to do?? What an example for your sons,' wrote grentzcolleen. Meanwhile, misssunshine_c3 added, 'Now we believe Diddy is living rent free in your big head'. This is hardly the first time Fiddy's taken aim at Combs and those associated with him. Last month, he lashed out at Bianca Censori, Kanye West's wife, following West's appearance at Combs' trial. On Instagram, the rapper slammed both West and Censori, referencing her headline-making see-through outfit from the Grammy Awards earlier this year. 'We are wearing white in honour of the freak offs,' he wrote. 'Damn Ye, you should have brought your dirty little wife with that Grammys outfit! @50centaction.' More Trending Combs is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Centre (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York, while he awaits sentencing in October. On July 2, a jury convicted the 55-year-old on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution of his ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura, and another woman known as Jane. He was found not guilty of racketeering conspiracy, nor was he found guilty of two charges of sex trafficking in relation to Cassie and Jane. Combs has pleaded not guilty and denied all allegations against him. Got a story?

Huge American film star 'is tipped to be the next Bond girl as she's a pal of 007 director Denis Villeneuve AND has the backing of Jeff Bezos'
Sydney Sweeney is reportedly in the running to be the next Bond girl in the long-awaited new instalment in the 007 franchise. Director Denis Villeneuve is said to be a friend of the star and is looking to cast the White Lotus actress, 27, according to The Sun on Sunday. Jeff Bezos, who is the head of Amazon and has creative control over the flick, is also believed to be backing the actress. A source told the publication: 'Sydney is the top name on the casting sheet for Bond. 'Denis believes she is hugely talented, as well as having an alluring appeal to younger generations, vital in modernising the franchise. 'They've hung out together a lot and he has admired her stratospheric rise.' MailOnline has contacted Sydney's representatives for comment. Following months of speculation on who will be named the new James Bond, three names for the coveted role at last emerged from Coral Bookmakers last week, with one lead actor back in the running. Kick Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, 35, is odds on favourite with Dunkirk actor Jack Lowden, also 35, and Netflix star Theo James, 40, following close behind. Bookmaker Coral have reported seeing a strong wave of support behind Aaron with the British actor as the 9-4 favourite for the role. Meanwhile Theo is second best in the betting at 4-1, while Jack is backed at 5-1. Elsewhere the betting site have Superman star Henry Cavill, 42, with odds of 10-1. Coral's John Hill said: 'We've seen another strong wave of support behind Aaron Taylor-Johnson in our next James Bond betting. Although other names have been linked with the role in recent weeks. 'The British actor remains the man punters are backing to replace Daniel Craig'. However, it is believe to not be possible for Spiderman star Tom to bag the role of 007 as he begins filming Spider Man 4 - which has the reported working name Spider-Man: Brand New Day - in the coming months. The studio announced on Wednesday that Denis Villeneuve - best known for directing Warner Bros.' two-part Dune adaptation - has signed on to direct the untitled film Bond film, via Amazon press release. The French-Canadian filmmaker, 57, will also serve as executive producer of the project alongside Tanya Lapointe. Amazon had previously announced Amy Pascal and David Heyman as the film's producers, after the studio parted ways with longtime 007 caretakers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. The news comes just over three years after Amazon completed its massive $8.5billion acquisition of MGM Studios that included the James Bond franchise. Aaron is currently the top favourite at 9-4 for the role while Theo (pictured in 2024) is second best in the betting at 4-1, while Jack can be backed at 5-1 There hasn't been a Bond film since 2021's No Time to Die, the final instalment with Daniel Craig as the beloved secret agent. The director said in a statement, 'Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery.' He added, 'I'm a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory. I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come.' The filmmaker admitted: 'This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honor.' He also went on to thank Bond producers Amy and David, adding they, 'are absolutely thrilled to bring him back to the screen. Thank you to Amazon MGM Studios for their trust'. Amy and David added, 'Denis Villeneuve has been in love with James Bond movies since he was a little boy. 'It was always his dream to make this movie, and now it's ours, too. We are lucky to be in the hands of this extraordinary filmmaker.' After Amazon acquired MGM in 2022, they obtained full creative control of the 007 franchise with a deal they struck with Barbara and Michael, the offspring of original James Bond producer, Albert R. Broccoli. Barbara and Michael had been overseeing the franchise since 1995, when their father ceded control of his Eon Productions company to them. Amazon reached an agreement with Barbara and Michael in March 2025, and while financial terms were not disclosed, it was rumored to be upwards of $1 billion. Villeneuve made his directorial debut in 1998 with August 32nd on Earth, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival that year. He followed that up with Maelstrom (2000), Polytechnique (2009) and Incendies (2010), the latter of which was nominated for Best International Film at the Academy Awards. The filmmaker broke through in Hollywood with 2013's Prisoners, a dark drama starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal. He continued to win acclaim for 2013's Enemy, 2015's Sicario, 2016's Arrival, 2017's Blade Runner 2049 and, most recently, 2021's Dune: Part One and 2024's Dune: Part Two. Speculation has continued to grow over who will be the next big-screen Bond and the Bond franchise also prompted a flurry of guesses as to where they might take the franchise next. Bond has been spoiled with video game adaptations since the 1980s, with early adaptations taking the form of shooting games or text adventures in which players typed in what they wanted the super-spy to do. Amazon bosses are currently said to be considering locations in which to set the much-anticipated new film, which experts predicted is likely to be released at the end of next year or in 2027. Due to a filming ban being imposed in Central London next year, new locations are reportedly being considered - with Liverpool a frontrunner, according to The Sun. An insider told the publication: 'This will no doubt irk Bond purists who already fear Amazon taking over the 007 franchise may lead to them making big changes. 'But Liverpool is a well-known alternative to London for film-makers. 'It has appeared in everything from The Batman to Captain America and Harry Potter movies, doubling up as international cities.' The source added that it doesn't necessarily mean the story will be set in Liverpool - though eagle-eyed Merseysiders will no doubt spot their city centre in the background.
