Notable BHS Alumni - Pamela Hensley '68



"Pamela Hensley (born on October 3, 1950 in Los Angeles, California) is an American actress. She is best known for playing Princess Ardala on the 1979-1981 television series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century and C.J. Parsons on the 1982-1985 television series Matt Houston. Her film debut was 1975 action film Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze. She has several television and movie credits, including 1975's James Caan film, Rollerball, Marcus Welby, M.D. (TV series) from 1975-1976, but after appearing in Matt Houston, she virtually disappeared from the screen. Pamela Hensley reemerged in the literary world in 2004 with the publication of a small cookbook called The Jewish-Sicilian Cookbook authored under the name Pamela Hensley Vincent. She has been married to noted television executive producer, E. Duke Vincent, since the early 1980s."

"Pamela Hensley's first TV job was as a 'pointer' on the syndicated audience-participation series The New Treasure Hunt. Signed to a Universal Studios contract in 1973, Hensley seemed poised on the brink of the Big Time in 1975. That was the year that Hensley, in the role of Janet Blake, married Dr. Steve Kiley (James Brolin) on Marcus Welby MD. That same year, she played the Hispanic heroine in the expensive George Pal film Doc Savage: Man of Bronze (1975). While the Welby episode played to excellent ratings, Doc Savage sank like a stone; clearly, Hensley's future rested in the small rather than the large screen. Pamela Hensley's best post-Welby TV series assignments included the roles of the entrancing Princess Ardala on Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979-80) and lawyer C. J. Parsons on the Lee Horsley private-eye series Matt Houston (1982-85)."

  1. I was just graduating high school when she was in the Buck Rogers Series ! My what a Beautiful Woman, and she still hasn't lost her bloom !!! She is a timeless beauty...She should make herself a web site.

    Maybe the Buck Rogers character could relese a bluray whit their comments and memories along with each episode. Stargate SG1 did that and it's great to hear them laugh and gasp at all their crazy memories while seeing the parts of the episodes that they are commenting on !!!
