Victoria Principal was
Bobby's wife Pamela Ewing.
What's she been up to?:
After Dallas, Victoria appeared in several films including
Mistress, Blind Witness and Dancing In The Dark. She has recently
produced a series of fitness videos, is the best selling author
of self help and beauty books and has launched her own range
of beauty products called Victoria's Secrets. Now 52, she
is married to second husband Harry Glassman, a plastic surgeon.
Like
Larry and Linda, Victoria and Patrick developed a strong working
relationship which provided heaps of on-screen chemistry.
Victoria recalls her first meeting
with her on-screen husband. 'I was 28 when I finally got the
part,' she says. 'It came down to myself and one other actress,
and we had to do a scene with Patrick Duffy.
'He had already worked with the other
actress, and he said when I came in he knew that I was going
to get it, which made me feel really good. Later I said 'How
did you know?' and he said 'Because your jeans were so tight'
which is pure Patrick!'
Pamela and Bobby Ewing became one of
TV's hottest couples and the more the characters' popularity
soared, the less producers wanted Victoria to wear!
'When I started out, Pamela did have
an allure and a sensuality that I enjoyed and I didn't have
a problem with it,' says Victoria. 'But as time went on and
Pam became so good, one of the things that they wished to
do was for me to wear less, so that Pamela was very, very
good.
'And I was very uncomfortable with
that, so it was actually negotiated into my contract how many
times a year I would be seen in a bathing suit, or in a teddy.
I used to call it the 3-teddy year - I would not be seen in
more than either 3 bathing suits or 3 teddies because I felt
it was abusing me.'
