Executive summary: Pamela Barnes Ewing on Dallas

Victoria Principal was raised in a military family, which necessitated frequent moves, and grew up in London, Puerto Rico, Massachusetts, and Georgia. She started appearing in TV commercials at the age of 5. After studying at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Victoria Principal aka Pamela Barnes Ewing worked as a model while looking for acting work. She won the Miss Miami beauty pageant in 1969, and made her film debut as Paul Newman's Mexican mistress in The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean. She posed naked for Playboy in September 1973, and played a sexy biker chick in the 1974 disaster epic Earthquake with Charlton Heston and Richard Roundtree.

On the long-running prime time soap opera Dallas, she played Pamela Barnes Ewing, the wife of Patrick Duffy's Bobby Ewing, and sister-in-law of that scheming bastard, J. R. Ewing (Larry Hagman). Sexy Victoria Principal aka Pamela Barnes Ewing left Dallas after nine years, at about the time the show jumped the shark (co-star Duffy had just returned from the dead, revealing that the previous season had all been a dream). After Dallas, she wrote several books on fitness and nutrition, and has marketed her own skin care products, ventures which have reportedly earned her millions more than her acting has.

In a 1993 interview with TV Guide, Victoria Principal aka Pamela Barnes Ewing said, "I know there have been rumors that I didn't have children because of my vanity. I didn't have children because I can't have children. It was the luck of the draw... It is a loss." Some insiders whisper that her break-up with BeeGee Andy Gibb precipitated his spiraling drug abuse, depression, and eventual suicide.

Victoria Principal aka Pamela Barnes Ewing is active with PETA, publicly supports abortion rights, and has spoken out against domestic violence. In 1970, she was beaten up by then-boyfriend Max Baer, Jr., who remembered the incident 35 years later by saying, "She deserved it. She was acting like a bitch." In 2003, she was briefly hospitalized and her husband, surgeon Harry Glassman, was arrested on suspicion of spousal abuse. Charges were never filed, and Principal issued a press release stating, "We have had a loving relationship for over 20 years. We've been and remain happily married. It is outrageous to believe we would inflict injury on one another or harm each other in any way."

I'm 57 years old and I have just made my passport available to IMDB.com, obviously doing so is a little dangerous, you don't want anyone to have your passport but I 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."

Lucy tells him that they are married when she catches a glint of light on Pam's finger. Ray is not happy. Bobby and Victoria Principal as Pamela Barnes Ewing walk to the door. Eleanor Southworth Ewing, Bobby's mother, answers the door and is dumbfounded. Bobby proudly says that she is his new wife. When she finds words, Miss Ellie scolds her son for marrying a Barnes.
Jock and J.R., watching Cliff on TV anxiously at Ewing Oil, get a call from Ellie, telling them to come home. Bobby is home with a wife, and it is not just anyone.

During the period of the day known as Cocktails, where the extended family sits in the living room, drinking and talking about their days, Bobby tells them how he got married.
"I said 'I love you,' and she said 'I love you,' I said 'then why don't we get married in this charming city of New Orleans.' Pam said 'why Bobby James Ewing, that is the craziest idea I ever heard!' Twenty minutes later, in the Orleans Parish courthouse, we said 'I will' and 'I will,' and that was that."

Sue Ellen, J.R.'s wife, says that she did not think Bobby was so impulsive. Jock rudely asks Pam when Cliff will get off their backs. Ellie scolds him, saying that no business is mentioned at that time of the day, and Bob agrees.

Ray comes in. He gives something to Jock, then at Lucy's insistance, he congratulates them and kisses the bride on the cheek. He then leaves.

J.R. offers to show Victoria Principal as Pamela Barnes Ewing around. Pam, not knowing yet that J.R. is venomous, accepts. J.R. apologizes for his father's behavior. He then tells her about the living arrangements and about how he wants a baby.

Pam acknowledges that by saying that she and Bobby also want children. J.R. goes on to tell her about his brother Gary. After softening her up, he purposely calls her Ms. Barnes. Pam tries to leave, but J.R. grabs her and asks if her brother asked her to be a spy, and he bribes her to leave. Pam gets angry and marches off. Bob comes out and reminds J.R. of the no-business rule.

Later that evening, J.R. finds Jock smoking on the porch. J.R. asks him why he does not quit, then tells daddy that he bribed Pam. Jock scolds him, and tells him that he just be more subtle. When J.R. brings up the subject, Jock says he has nothing against Bobby being an executive. J.R. does not have to run things alone.

They hear Bobby and Pam playing upstairs, and Jock tells J.R. that he better get busy or they will present him a grandson first. J.R. walks away and meets Ray in the shadows. He tells him that they are a good team, as judged from a weekend in Waco, and they are going to work together to unseat the new couple. Ray agrees to work with him.

Victoria Principal as Pamela Barnes Ewing goes to her apartment to pack her bags and send them to Southfork. Cliff is with her and questions her motives. He tells her that she was vengeful once. Pam says that she is a Ewing now, and there is nothing he can do about it. Cliff asks when she will tell their father, Willard "Digger" Barnes. She says not now. She appears to change her mind when she offers Cliff a ride in Bobby's car to look for Digger. Cliff refuses on grounds of touching something owned by the Ewings.

Bobby moves into his office at Ewing Oil. Julie Grey, J.R.'s secretary, tells him that he has a secretary also. He tells her that she wants the safe combination. She talks to J.R. about it. J.R. meets Bobby with a smile. J.R. says that the stuff in the safe is more boring than the background stuff Bobby has been reading. Bobby persists, and J.R. opens the safe with a smile. He hands Bobby the case. Bob tells the secretary that he will be a minute, then disappears into his office. J.R. takes a particular red file, in a red folder, and tells Julie to put it in his safe deposit box.

Cliff and Pam go to a bar. Digger is there, telling some other geezers about how Jock Ewing screwed him. Cliff tells her that Digger is a product of Jock's betrayal. Cliff drags him from the old men and they sit in a booth.

Pam tells him that she is married...to Bobby Ewing. Digger is happy until Cliff tells him that she married Jock's son Bobby Ewing. Digger's smile immediately turns to a grimace. Pam rushes out in embarrassment.

Ellie and Sue Ellen are setting the table when Victoria Principal as Pamela Barnes Ewing gets home. She asks if she can help, but they refuse. Sue Ellen adds that there are certain customs in this house. Pam walks upstairs and runs into Lucy.

Lucy tells her that Ray can how her how to ride, then tells her about her life, including Gary's weakness, Valene's futility, and J.R.'s malice.

Pam tells Bob that it only gets worse. Bobby reassures her. J.R. comes in and asks Bobby to go to Austin and dish out the three B's. Bobby says he is through with that behavior. J.R. says to go anyway; he will be done forever after the hearings are over. Pam listens, disappointed. Bob says that it is his family, and he has an obligation to them.

Ray and J.R. wait for Pam. J.R. offers for Ray to take her on a helicopter ride. She refuses, but then changes her mind. J.R. gives Ray quick instructions, then he and Pam leave.

Bob comes out and asks for Pammi. He feels bad not saying goodbye to her. J.R. says that it is all right, and they leave, supposedly for the airport.

Ray and Victoria Principal as Pamela Barnes Ewing stop by a lake. Ray asks Pam what she will do. Pam is undecided. Ray says that he should have asked her to marry him a long time ago. It is not too late. He suggests she swim. She refuses.

Where is here swimsuit. He manuvers her to where she cannot escape, then he picks her up and they jump in the icy water. She is surprisingly jolly and wet. He suggests they leave and get cozy by the fire.

They strip. Ray's shirt is off, and Victoria Principal as Pamela Barnes Ewing is naked under a blanket. Both naked she admits that she had a good time. She hears a car approach, and she suspects a set up.

Ray denies it. Pam orders him to back her up, or she will tell J.R. about Ray and Lucy's affair. Ray agrees. J.R. and Bobby enter the cabin. Victoria Principal as Pamela Barnes Ewing tells Bob that it was J.R.'s idea. Bob grabs J.R. by the throat as he is trying to explain himself. Bobby says to stop the "little brother" thing, and respect his wife.

Past is past, and Pam is here to stay. Pam and Bobby leave. Ray apologizes to J.R. for messing up. J.R. says that it is all right.
"I greatly underestimated Pamela. I will not make that mistake again."

Victoria Principal aka Pamela Ewing in Dallas biography

2010-03-26T08:37:00.000+01:00

Victoria Principal (born January 3, 1950 is an American actress, best known for her role as Pamela Barnes Ewing on the CBS nighttime drama Dallas from 1978 to 1987.

Victoria Principal was born in Fukuoka, Japan, the elder daughter of Ree Veal and Victor R. Principal. She stated in a 2007 interview with the official Dallas website that she was born in 1950, not earlier as some sources indicate. 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." She claims to have been the first American baby born in Japan after World War II.

Her paternal grandparents were immigrants from Italy and her mother was born in Georgia and is of English descent. Her father was a sergeant in the Air Force, thus moving often, growing up in London, Florida, Puerto Rico, Massachusetts, and Georgia, among other places. She attended 17 different schools, including the Royal Academy of Ballet, while in England.

Victoria Principal acted in a commercial when five, and began modeling in high school. She enrolled at Miami-Dade Community College, intending to study medicine eventually enrolling in, but not completing, chiropractic college. She continued modeling, also nude in Playboy, winning the Miss Miami title in 1969, but serious injuries that she sustained in a car crash forced her to refocus her energy on acting. She moved to New York City, working as a model and actress. After a modeling job in Europe, she studied at Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and then moved to Los Angeles in 1971.

At the age of 19, Victoria Principal moved in with millionaire financier, Bernard Cornfeld. She dated numerous actors and personalities, including: Andy Gibb (with whom she recorded a duet version of "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.

Victoria Principal met Christopher Skinner in 1978 when he played a bit role on Dallas. Soon after, they married, but then divorced in 1980. In 1985, she married Hollywood plastic surgeon Dr. Harry Glassman after a three-year relationship. She has no children from either marriage.

In January 2003, her husband was arrested after a domestic violence incident; charges were never filed. They separated in March, 2006, and, on May 27, 2006 she filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences.

On December 27, 2006 the divorce was finalized; Glassman, labeled "Dr. McGreedy" by the press, received the Beverly Hills home and an estimated $25 million from Victoria Principal. Subsequently, Principal moved to Malibu. She maintains other homes in Big Sur, California and Switzerland.

As of 2007, it was reported that she is training for her booked flight on Richard Branson's commercial space flight venture.

Her first film role was portraying a Mexican mistress in Paul Newman's The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean (1972), for which she earned a Golden Globe Nomination as Most Promising Newcomer. Subsequently, she appeared nude in The Naked Ape (1973) with Johnny Crawford.

In 1974, she landed a huge break when she was cast in a co-starring role in the successful disaster film epic, Earthquake. Victoria Principal continued to act in lesser-known films such as I Will, I Will...For Now and Vigilante Force. In 1977, Aaron Spelling offered her a role in the pilot of his television series Fantasy Island, which she accepted. Soon after, in 1978, she landed her most famous role playing Pamela Barnes Ewing in the evening soap opera television series Dallas. Dallas became a huge global hit, making Victoria Principal in her swimsuit a household name across the world. In 1983, she earned a Golden Globe Nomination as Best Actress in a Television Series for her role on Dallas.

After nine years, Victoria Principal left Dallas in 1987. She went on to star in various made-for-television movies such as Mistress, Blind Witness, Naked Lie, Sparks: The Price of Passion, and Don't Touch My Daughter, a few of which she co-produced. In 1994, she appeared in an episode of the hit sitcom Home Improvement.

In late 1999, Victoria Principal and her Dallas co-star Patrick Duffy appeared in an episode of the animated series Family Guy in which they played their Dallas characters. The scene was unusual for the animated series in that it was live-action. In it, they parodied the infamous "Dallas shower scene" in which her character dreamed up the death of her Dallas husband's character. The episode, entitled Da Boom, aired on January 1, 2000.

Victoria Principal returned to primetime soap operas in 2000 when she appeared in another Aaron Spelling production, the short-lived NBC television series Titans.

Entrepreneur
When Victoria Principal signed her Dallas contract, she omitted the clause that would have given the network the right to consent and profit from her outside endeavors. She explained, "As a result that’s why, you can only notice in hindsight, I was the only person in the cast who did commercials, who was doing movies of the week, who wrote books and these all belong to me. I retained the control and ownership of my image. No one owns me."

When she left the show in 1987, she began her own production company, Victoria Principal Productions, producing mostly movies for television. In the mid-1980s, she became interested in natural beauty therapies and in 1989 she created a self-named line of skin care products, "Principal Secret", having amassed over a $1 billion of sales to date. In 1995, she was named "Entertainment Business Woman of the Year" by the National Association of Women Business Owners and received an honorary degree from Drexel University's Business School. In 2003, Principal became a member of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists.

In addition, Victoria Principal became a best-selling author, writing three books about beauty, skin care, and health. These three books were titled, in order of publication, The Body Principal, The Beauty Principal, and The Diet Principal. As of late July 2009 none of these three books were still to be in print, but a fourth book, Living Principal, has been published and is in print.
