Shelby Storck - Storck Awards

Storck Awards

There currently exists a Shelby Storck Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. The annual Storck Awards for Notable Achievement in the Political Advertising Arts were established by the Washington Post in 1980. Today, Shelby Storck is primarily known for the political films he produced in the 1960s, as well as for his role as a hard-nosed, wise-to-the-world police detective in the 1958 Kansas City-produced feature-length film The Cool and the Crazy (where his wife Jackie also makes a cameo appearance).

Shelby Storck had three children: Shelby Randall Storck (1943–1987), who followed in his father's journalistic footsteps and became a photographer; Phillip Alan Storck (b. 1944); and Gael Winslow Storck (b. 1950). He also had a stepdaughter, Kathy Field (b. 1948) from his second marriage.
