Victoria Principal (birthday January 3, 1950) is an actress, best known for her role as Larry Hagman's sister-in-law and Patrick Duffy's wife, Pamela Barnes Ewing, "Pam", on the long-running CBS nighttime drama Dallas from 1978 to 1987. She is also well-known for her line of cosmetic products.
She studied at the Royal Academy
of Ballet while in England.
She acted in a commercial when
five, and began modeling in high school. She enrolled at Miami-Dade Community
College, intending to study medicine. She continued modelling, winning the Miss
Miami title in 1969, but serious injuries in a car crash made her refocus her
energy on acting. She moved to New York City, working as a model and actress.
After a modelling job in Europe, she studied at Royal Academy of Dramatic Art,
and then moved to Los Angeles in 1971.
Principal confirmed a 1950 year of birth in an interview with the official Dallas website. She stated that she "felt that was the only way to clear this up once and for all. My name is my real name; my age is my real age. Someone on the internet, years ago, printed a different age than I am and I’m in the process legally of clearing that up, because I have never lied about my age."
Her first film was as a Mexican
mistress in Paul Newman's The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean for which
she earned a Golden Globe Nomination as Most Promising Newcomer. Her next film
was The Naked Ape (1973) with Johnny Crawford, in which she went topless.
She later claimed that she did not read the fine print for her contract for The
Naked Ape when she signed it, as it was the fine print that required her to
do the nude pictorial.
In 1973 she also appeared in a
nude Playboy pictorial.
In 1974, she landed a huge break
when she was cast in a co-starring role in the successful disaster film epic, Earthquake.
Aaron Spelling offered her one year's tuition to accept a role in the pilot of Fantasy Island. She accepted, and it renewed her love of acting. She then pursued the role of Pamela Ewing in Dallas which she landed. Her part of Pamela Barnes Ewing was the dramatic fulcrum point of the entire series—a Barnes marrying into the clan-hating Ewing family caused rifts which would erupt for years in and around Southfork. In 1983, her role earned her a Golden Globe Nomination as Best Actress in a Television Series.
She left the show after nine
years, and began her own production company, Victoria Principal Productions,
although she still works as an actress. In the mid-1980s, she became more
interested in natural beauty, and promoted a self-named line of skin care
products called Principal Secret, and has written three books about beauty and
skin-care.
She appeared in the NBC TV series Titans with Yasmine Bleeth in 2000, and in the 1990 TV movie Sparks: The Price of Passion, in which she played the mayor of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Principal dated numerous actors
and personalities at the height of her fame in the late-1970s, including: Andy
Gibb (with whom she recorded a duet "All I Have To Do Is Dream" in
1981), Steven Spielberg (during her work on Earthquake and his
pre-production on Jaws), and Frank Sinatra.
Principal met Christopher Skinner
in 1978 when he played a bit role on Dallas. After a very short time,
she married him, but they later divorced in 1980. In 1985, she then married
Hollywood plastic surgeon Dr. Harry Glassman after a three-year relationship
and after he signed a pre-nuptial agreement. She has no children from either
marriage.
In January 2003, her husband was
arrested on a domestic violence charge. On May 27, 2006 she filed for divorce
from her husband of 21 years, after they separated in March 2006 citing
irreconcilable differences.
On December 27, 2006 the divorce
was finalized after Glassman, labeled "Dr. McGreedy" by the press,
received Victoria Principal's Beverly Hills home and an estimated $25 million
from Principal. Victoria Principal currently lives in Malibu, with homes in
Utah and Switzerland.
She is training for her booked
flight on Richard Branson's commercial space flight venture, and is scheduled
to be one of the first female civilian astronauts in June 2008.
