Pamela Sue Martin attended public schools in Westport, Connecticut
and graduated from Staples High School in February, 1971. Before
she graduated, Pamela was working in a hamburger stand for $1.45
per hour when a friend told her that she was earning $60 per hour
modeling in New York. Liking the wages and being of an ambitious
nature, Pamela Sue decided to emulate her friend and soon was
earning a good living as a teenage model for print ads and
television commercials. Although she was completely innocent of
dramatic training, experience or even ambitions, when Pamela Sue
heard that Columbia Pictures was auditioning girls for a film
called "To Find a Man," she decided to try. It took the producers
three months to make up their minds, but in the end Pamela Sue had
the female starring role. On the basis of her performance in "To
Find a Man," producer Irwin Allen cast her to co-star with five
Academy Award winners in "The Poseidon Adventure." Then came a
starring role in the ABC Movie of the Week, "The Girls of
Huntington House," and a co-starring role with Jan-Michael Vincent
in "Buster and Billie."
