Victoria Principal became a beloved star as Pamela Barnes Ewing on Dallas, a role she played for nearly a decade until 1987. Afterward, she produced films like Naked Lie and launched her skincare line, Principal Secret, in 1989. Her knowledge of fitness and wellness was also shared in her books, The Body Principal, The Beauty Principal, and The Diet Principal.

Reflecting on her time on Dallas, Principal admitted she “could not imagine not being Pam” and loved her first seven years on set. However, as the show’s quality declined, she decided to pursue other opportunities.

Principal later appeared in Home Improvement and guest-starred on Family Guy and Providence. Eventually, she left Hollywood in the early 2000s to focus on her businesses and philanthropy.

Now in her mid-seventies, Principal maintains a youthful look through moderation in diet, daily activity, and minimalist skincare. She enjoys daily dark chocolate and incorporates stretching, dancing, and resistance training into her routine, adjusting based on her “mood and fatigue level.” Despite rumors, she denies having plastic surgery.
