Her film debut was, Annie Hall (1977).
She maybe best known for her role as Tiffany Welles in the television series Charlie's Angels for one season (1979–80). Unfortunately, the series lacked ratings during Hack's time on the show and she was let go.

She gave a wonderful performance in, How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) with Marilyn Monroe and Betty Grable and in, Designing Woman (1957) with Gregory Peck.
