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.

2 . Aaron Taylor-Johnson - 2/1 Aaron Taylor-Johnson had previously been favourite to become the next Bond for months, following news reports that he had agreed to play the iconic role. There's been silence since though, and the lack of an official announcement has cast doubt on his involvement - particularly since Amazon took over creative control of the franchaise. Best known for playing the title character in the 'Kick-Ass' films, Taylor-Johnson also starred opposite Brad Pitt in 'Bullet Train' and is in cinemas at the moment with horror sequel '28 Years Later'. He'd drifted out but is now back to being joint favourite - priced at 2/1 to step into 007's shoes. | Getty Images
