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."

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."

Born Victoria Principal aka Pamela Barnes Ewing:  Often reported as 1946. From an interview on UltimateDallas.com, clarifying: "I was born January 3rd 1950. 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."
