Principal, Victoria
From Make Me Heal
Principal's first film was The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean (1972), starring Paul Newman. Principal acted as a Mexican mistress. Four years later Victoria became so disappointed with her career that she quit acting and spent the next three years working as an agent. In 1978 Principal wanted to go to law school and later become a studio executive, but Aaron Spelling offered her a year's tuition to accept a role in the pilot of "Fantasy Island" (1978). Principal agreed, and soon after that she landed the role of Pamela Ewing on CBS' long-running soap "Dallas" (1978). Victoria left the show after nine years, and began her own production company, Victoria Principal Productions. Principal continues to work as an actress and producer, and has also created a line of skin care products and written three books about beauty and skin-care.
