Victoria Principal, born Victoria Ree Principal on January 3, 1950, in Fukuoka, Japan, is an American actress, model, businesswoman, and author. The daughter of a United States Air Force sergeant, Principal spent much of her childhood moving frequently and attended 17 different schools before graduating from South Dade Senior High School in Florida. She later enrolled at Miami-Dade Community College with plans to study medicine but eventually chose to pursue a career in acting instead.
In 1970, Principal moved to Hollywood to begin her acting career. With limited financial resources, she supported herself by giving backgammon lessons, a game she had learned while living in London. Within nine months, she secured an agent, owned a car, and began gaining traction in the entertainment industry.
Her first major film role came in 1972 when she was cast as Marie Elena in The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, a performance that earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Most Promising Newcomer. However, it was her portrayal of Pamela Barnes Ewing on the hit CBS primetime soap opera Dallas (1978–1987) that made her a household name. Her tenure on the show spanned nine seasons and solidified her status as a prominent television actress.
Before gaining prominence as an actress, Principal worked as a fashion model in New York and Europe. In the early 1970s, during a period of dissatisfaction with her acting opportunities, she temporarily shifted her focus and worked as a talent agent. Additionally, she earned the title of Miss Miami in 1969.
In 1973, Principal appeared in the film The Naked Ape and posed for Playboy magazine to help promote the movie. She later expressed regret over the decision, citing it as one of the more difficult moments in her career. Despite this, she continued to receive public acclaim for her appearance, including rankings in FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women list—placing 60th in 1995 and previously ranking 3rd in 1982 and 6th in 1984.
Victoria Principal has been married twice. Her first marriage was to actor Christopher Skinner, but the couple divorced after two years. She then had a high-profile relationship with teen idol Andy Gibb, which ultimately ended due to Gibb’s struggles with substance abuse. Principal later married Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Harry Glassman in 1985; the couple divorced in 2006.
Victoria Principal is known for her striking appearance. She stands 5 feet 6 inches tall (168 cm), weighs approximately 120 pounds (54.4 kg), and has brown eyes and light brown hair. A notable feature is the small mole on her left cheek. She is of white ethnicity, American nationality, and identifies as straight. Her astrological sign is Capricorn.
Beyond acting, Principal established herself as a successful businesswoman. She founded Principal Secret, a skincare company that achieved significant commercial success. She is also an accomplished author, having written several books on skincare and beauty. Through her various ventures, Principal accumulated an estimated net worth of $200 million.
