Victoria Principal is an American actress, best known for her role as "Pam Ewing" on the long-running drama Dallas from 1978 to 1987.

Her first film was as a Mexican mistress in Paul Newman's The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, and went on to The Naked Ape. In 1974, she landed a huge break when she was cast in a co-starring role in the successful disaster film epic, Earthquake.

But Aaron Spelling offered her one year's tuition to accept a role in the pilot of Fantasy Island. She agreed - and then landed the role of Pamela Ewing in Dallas. Her part of Pamela Barnes Ewing was the dramatic fulcrum point of the entire series - a Barnes marrying into the clan-hatred Ewing family causing rifts which would erupt for years in and thereabouts Southfork.

In late 1999, she appeared on the series Family Guy, in which she played her Pam Ewing role She also appeared in the NBC TV series Titans with Yasmine Bleeth in 2000. And the unsuccessful pilot Sparks wherein she played mayor of Albuquerque, New Mexico c. 1998.

The animated television series South Park featured a character named Principal Victoria, which is a play on the actress' name.
