Victoria Principal

[Beyle]

When I think of VP, I remember that she used to date Andy Gibb.

Oh wow, I had totally forgotten about the Andy Gibb thing.. didn't they even record a song together? heh..

[Beyle]

I think they might have. I'm getting ready for work and I'm too lazy to do a search.

Now I've got "Shadow Dancing" playing in my head. . .


ETA: Their duet is titled "All I Have To Do."

Not insane, jaghetersimon:

"Victoria Principal" (born January 3, 1946 in Fukuoka, Japan) is an American actress of Italian and Filipino extraction, best known for her role as "Pamela Barnes Ewing" on the long-running CBS nighttime drama "Dallas" from 1978 to 1987. She is also well-known for her line of cosmetic products.

Source. I've never seen her discuss being Filipina.

Also, I think her birth year has shifted. The article above says 1946, the USAToday article says she's 56 and the wiki article says her age is disputed.

Her face is getting a little scary. She used to have a lovely heart shaped mouth .. now her lips are stretched halfway across her face. Why do these women always think that bigger lips are a good thing?

I believe the older age (or maybe even older than that). She always said that she tried acting, and then became an agent when it didn't work out (before Dallas)... and this was in the EARLY 70's.

Yes, her birth date somehow changed from 1946 to 1950 or 1951 in the past few years. She still has a great shape, no matter what her age is.

I remember a Behind the Music episode where she says something like, "I told him he had to pick me.... or drugs. [long pause] He chose drugs."

Aw I didn't realize it ended that way.. I take back my "heh."

It's been so long since I've thought about her, I'd also forgotten she was in the movie Earthquake, one of several bloated and delightfully cheesy disaster films from the 70's. I'll add my "heh" back at the hair she was sporting in that film.

She still looks pretty good, but yeah, her lips are kind of scary.

I always get Victoria Principal and Victoria Jackson from SNL confused. If I see pictures of them I can tell them apart but when I read stories I always have to ask "Is that the blonde or the stretched too tight makeup saleswoman?"
