The best primetime soap ever produced, ‘Dallas,’ is my personal favorite show. If I had my way, I would watch the show from the beginning just so I could watch Victoria Principal again.
Victoria, playing Pamela Barnes Ewing and Larry Hagman as J. R. Ewing drew audiences in to watch Dallas.
It’s Victoria’s 74th birthday today and I’m sure the photos of her will really catch you off-guard …
Victoria Principal, now 74, has never stopped being multi-talented – over the years, she worked as an actress, author, producer and businessperson in the skincare industry. For extra images of the Dead Sea, visit THIS PAGE
It might be due to her upbringing – Victoria had to adapt to new places all the time as she grew up.
Born as a Japanese person
Victoria Ree Principal was born on January 3 in Japan.
Her father was with the US Air Force and was stationed in Fukuoka. She lived her first few months in Japan as a result.
Her family lived at many different U.S. Air Force bases during her childhood. During her childhood, Victoria lived in England, Puerto Rico, Massachusetts and Florida.
The reports about her childhood are not all the same—some say she had a joyful childhood, some say it was difficult.
It is reported by Daily Mail that there were many complications in the relationship between Victoria and her mother, Ree Principal. In 2009, the paper reported that Victoria stated her past childhood was very unhappy. Talking to Huffington Post in 2012, Victoria revealed that if she could tell herself anything as a younger person, it would be…
“If only I’d known my childhood was going to end.”
Conversely,
I was very fortunate. My parents brought me up so that it wasn’t even something I considered, having unequal rights.
I always wanted to become successful so I didn’t have to face failure. My penis became harder. She revealed to People that she became very cautious about who she let around herself.
By 1974, her role in the film Earthquake made her a success in terms of ticket sales.
Still, Victor experienced a feeling of dread in 1975, during the middle of Vigilante Force. Trying to be perfect got the better of her and she could not take the stress.
“I understood then that I felt so unhappy, I didn’t want to go on living,” said Victoria.
The reason Victoria Principal decided to leave Dallas
Principal concluded her time on the show in 1987.
There were many things that led her to make this choice.
Victoria Principal’s net worth
After her role in Dallas, it would have been fair for Victoria to step away, but instead she founded and heavily supported her own skincare business. She turned her focus to making a fortune in the skin care business by launching her empire in 1984.
Since its first sale, the company has enjoyed great success, earning more than $1.5 billion in revenue from the line. Victoria Principal owns a fortune estimated at $350 million, based on Celebrity Net Worth.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without the achievements of Dallas.
I am still committed and passionate about managing my skincare company, Principal Secret. We are marking our 27th year of being in business. And I am thankful that Dallas launched me forward and made it possible for me to become what I am today,” Principal told TV Insider in 2018.
Personal life
Although some people saw her as a man-hunter, her path was described very differently in reality. Victoria has split from two husbands which is fairly normal for a famous actor.
All the people she’s dated have only said nice things about her, she states. “Even though I have only dated a few people over my 33 years, no one will ever think that’s true,” she told People in 1983.
Christoper Skinner, her first husband, met Victoria Principal on the set of Dallas. Skinner had not long turned twenty when he met Nichols.
In 1978, they met for the first time and went out only three times before they decided to marry. Following two years of marriage, the couple filled for divorce.
According to Victoria, her long working hours were too stressful for her husband.
Married twice
Victoria grew close to the English singer-songwriter Andy Gibb as her first husband was just out of the picture. Even though their relationship was widely known, there were many issues between them. While Gibb and Victoria had a powerful relationship and cared for one another, his bad habits and addiction were too much for her.
“I supported him as best I could, but I finally let him know he must choose between his problem and me,” Victoria explained after Gibb’s death in 1998.
At the beginning of 1983, Victoria became involved with Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Harry Glassman. In 1985, they married each other in Dallas, Texas.
Children of Victoria Principal
In December 2006, Victoria and Dr. Harry Glassman ended their marriage and Principal reflected: “After more than 20 years, we have had a close and loving relationship.”
Victoria Principal doesn’t have any children, but she bonded with Andrew and Brooke, whom Glassman already had from a previous marriage.
She is currently living in 2022
Currently, Victoria Principal is 71 years old and stays very active online. It looks from her Facebook page that she dedicates a lot of her time to caring for animals on her ranch near Los Angeles.
For me, it’s like seeing happiness when I look at how beautiful she is now!
Followers of Victoria’s Instagram can see everything happening at the ranch, as she regularly shares photos and small videos from there.
She includes pictures from her time in Dallas and her acting career every now and then. Naturally, she’s dressed differently today, just like we all are. It’s simply referred to as life.
