A legendary 70s TV looked unrecognizable as she was seen on a rare public outing this week.
The former screen star - now 77 - retired from acting 25 years ago to pursue a career in media and filmmaking.
She is best known for her fourth season role on an iconic TV series and was the face of the Charlie perfume.
The star rose to fame as a teen model and was proclaimed one of the 'million-dollar faces' in the beauty industry.
She made her film debut in 1977 Oscar-winning film, Annie Hall.
So can you identify this mystery star?

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 shot 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.)
She stepped away from fulltime acting in 1997 and launched her own media conglomerate , the Shelley Hack Media Consultancy which focused on developing countries.
She also spent two years working with the largest media conglomerate in Eastern Europe helping to develop and build the infrastructure for the largest state of the art film studio complex in the region.
Hack earned a BA from Smith College and an MBA from NYIT.
She became a voting registration and polling station supervisor in the 1997 elections in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
She has been married to Harry Winer since 1990 and the couple share daughter Devon, 35.
She and Winer now run Los Angeles based film production company Smash Media.
