Best known as Pamela Barnes Ewing on Dallas, Victoria Principal was one of the main reasons fans tuned in to the hit primetime soap. Now 74, she’s as captivating as ever. Born in Japan in 1950, Victoria moved often as a child due to her father’s Air Force career, attending 17 schools—including the Royal Ballet School in London. Her childhood was reportedly difficult, shaping her into a driven, self-reliant woman.
She gained fame in the 1970s with roles in Earthquake and later Dallas, where she became a household name. But in 1987, at the height of her fame, she left the show to focus on her own goals.
Beyond Acting: A Skincare Empire
Victoria launched her skincare brand, Principal Secret, in 1984. It became a huge success, earning over $1.5 billion in revenue. Today, her net worth is estimated at $350 million.
Personal Life
Victoria was married twice and had a high-profile relationship with singer Andy Gibb. She has no biological children but grew close to her second husband’s kids. Despite being labeled a “man-hunter,” she described her romantic history as private and respectful.
Life Today
Now living on a ranch near Los Angeles, Victoria spends her time rehabilitating animals and sharing glimpses of ranch life and her acting past with over 300,000 Facebook followers. She remains an inspiration—graceful, strong, and deeply compassionate.
Still stunning, still inspiring—Victoria Principal is proof that true beauty only grows with time.
