How Victoria Principal looks at 73

The most successful primetime soap in TV history, ‘Dallas‘, will always be a personal favorite of mine. In fact, I could watch the entire series all over again just for the pleasure of seeing Victoria Principal.

In her iconic role as Pamela Barnes Ewing, Victoria was one of biggest reasons to tune into Dallas – alongside Larry Hagman, who played the ruthless oil baron J. R. Ewing.

Today, Victoria has turned 73 years old – and I think you will be quite surprised when you see the latest photos of this timeless beauty …

Victoria Principal, 73, has always been a multi-hyphenate – during her long professional career she was a successful actress, author, producer, and skin care entrepreneur.

Perhaps this can be explained by her background – Victoria grew up in a variety of places, and was constantly forced to adapt to her surroundings.

Born in Japan

Victoria Ree Principal was born on January 3, 1950, in Japan.

Her father, a United States Air Force Sergeant, was stationed in city of Fukuoka and Victoria spent her first months of life on Japanese soil.

The family moved around a lot during her childhood – Victoria and her mom were shunted around a series of U.S. Air Force bases. She grew up in England, Puerto Rico, Massachusetts and Florida, among other places.

During her primary years, Victoria went to 17 different schools, including the famous Royal Ballet School in England.

Whether her childhood was actually happy or not is hard to say – there are varying reports about it.

According to Daily Mail, Victoria and her mother, Ree Principal, had a complicated relationship. The paper said in 2009 that Victoria has described her childhood as miserable. In an interview with Huffington Post in 2012, Victoria was asked what she would like to have known earlier in her life:

”I wish I had known my childhood would end,” she said.

On the other hand, there is a rather famous quote attributed to Victoria Prinicpal:

”I was very lucky. My parents raised me in such a way that it never occurred to me that I wasn’t equal”.
