Pam Dawber, a renowned actress, began her journey in the entertainment industry in a Detroit suburb. Her rise to fame was sparked when a friend suggested she accompany her to New York and showcase her modeling portfolio to various agents. As a beautiful model with a background in Detroit, where she attended Oakland Community College, Pam had already worked as a model and singer at auto trade shows. One of New York's top modeling agencies, Wilhelmina, signed her to an exclusive contract, leading to her appearance in magazine advertisements and TV commercials. However, Pam's true passion was acting, and she began studying voice and acting.
Pam's breakthrough came when she landed a leading role in the musical comedy "Sweet Adeline" at the Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam, Connecticut. This led to her being auditioned for a major role on the new TV series Tabitha (1976),although she was ultimately disappointed not to secure the part. Undeterred, Pam went on to secure a significant role in the Robert Altman film A Wedding (1978) and shortly after signed an exclusive contract with ABC-TV.
ABC cast Pam as the female lead in Mork & Mindy (1978),cementing her status as a rising star. Pam continued to hone her craft, returning to the stage to appear in a revival of the musical "My Fair Lady," playing the iconic role of Eliza Doolittle.
