Shelby William Storck (October 3, 1916 – April 5, 1969) was an American newscaster, actor, writer, journalist, public relations specialist, and motion picture and television producer-director.
He was a radio actor on The Air Adventures of Jimmie Allen and other programs, and appeared in the feature films The Delinquents and The Cool and the Crazy.
Storck worked as a newscaster for the Kansas City Star and its affiliated radio station WDAF from 1939 until he joined the Navy in 1942.
He was also a semi-professional actor in local radio, television, civic theater, and in films made in the Kansas City area.
He was best known for making half-hour campaign biographies for politicians, mostly under the direction of media consultant Joe Napolitan, including successful films for Milton Shapp, Winthrop Rockefeller, and Mike Gravel.
His wife, Jackie, was on the way by air to Taiwan to visit a sister when he died, and funeral arrangements had to be delayed for several days until she could return to St. Louis.
The annual Storck Awards for Notable Achievement in the Political Advertising Arts were established by the Washington Post in 1980.
