Pamela
Sue Martin, was born in Westport, Connecticut on January 5, 1953.
While attending Staples High School in the early 70's a friend
suggested that Pamela leave her less paying job for a modeling
career in New York where she could earn up to $60 an hour.
She
began appearing in print ads as well as television commercial before
she took a bold step and auditioned for a roll in Columbia Pictures
film called "To Find a Man". After a three month wait, she
got notice that she won the lead role. It was because of this film
that Irwin Allen cast Pamela in his film "The Poseidon
Adventure". It wasn't long before Pamela began appearing in
other theatrical films, as well as made for TV movies.
She
achieved stardom in the 1977 TV series "The Hardy Boys/Nancy
Drew Mysteries", playing Carolyn Keene's teenage sleuth Nancy
Drew. Quitting the series over creative difference, Pamela began
cultivating a sexier, more adult screen image in films like
"The Lady in Red". She spent much of the early 1980s in
the role of Fallon Carrington Colby in the prime-time TV serial
"Dynasty"; her character wound up being killed in a car
crash, only to be revived in the person of Emma Samms on the Dynasty
spin-off "The Colbys".
In
1984, Pamela Sue Martin both starred in and co-scripted the feature
film "Torchlight" one of her last appearances on the big
screen. She would appear in several made-for-TV movies and
mini-series in the late 80's and early 90's. And made several guest
appearances in the early 2000's on several television talk-shows and
series.
Three
times married and divorce, Pamela has one son with her third
husband, Bruce Allen. In recent years she has been focusing on the
theater performing in the plays, "Private Eyes" and
"Beau Jeste" as well as directing several production with
the Interplanetary Theatre Group and Sun Valley Repertory Company in
Idaho. Pamela is involved with several environmental groups,
including Greenpeace and The Sierra Club. She is also the National
Spokesperson for the Wild Horse Sanctuary in Singletown, California
and has campaigned for the preservation of the Wild Mustang in
America. She's involved with PETA and Save the Whales as well as
several human rights and AIDS prevention organizations.
