Gooseberry Crumble 5,205 Posted January 3, 2023 10 hours ago, MariNisia said: Mel Gibson, the famous actor and stupendous film director who was born in Peekskill, New York, moved with his parents to Sidney, Australia, when he was 12, and later an Oscar-winning filmmaker for his epic film "Braveheart", is 67 today. Victoria Principal, American actress who was born in Fukuoka, Japan; her father was a sergeant who was stationed in Fukuoka at that time; whose acting career began when she was only 5, with appearances in commercials; who left school to become a model, and famous for her iconic role as Pamela Barnes Ewing on the long-running soap opera "Dallas", is 73 today. Loved Victoria Principal as Pam in Dallas as a child- but as an adult rewatching it on DVD I know appreciate Sue Ellen and Donna a lot more because they were less angelic and more complicated which is interesting to watch. As a child Pam was the saintly innocent lovely character who stood up to nasty JR but I see more than that now! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pam was too sweet, and Sue Ellen's character was a lot more interesting. But my favourite was Miss Ellie. Miss Ellie was very similar to one friend of my grandfather. To be frank, she became so much more than just a friend. And she always gave me cookies. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was a huge fan of Fallon. I think Pamela Sue Martin portrayed Fallon as an immature woman. In Season 1 Fallon was a bitch. Poor Krystle. While Emma Samms was less aggressive than Pamela Sue Martin. Emma Samms is a very attractive woman. Maybe she would have been a better choice for Amanda. But Emma Samms was as good as Pamela Sue Martin as Fallon. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
