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.



Martin took time out of her senior year in high school to play the lead role in the film To Find a Man (1972). Appeared on many magazine covers including T.V. Guide (February 27 - March 5 issue), US Magazine (September 14, 1982), Ingenue (March 1972 issue), New Woman Magazine (April 1984 issue), and Dawn Magazine (September 1977 issue.) Refused to reprise the role of Fallon Carrington Colby in 1985 when ABC launched the "Dynasty" (1981) spin-off, "The Colbys" (1985). The role was recast with popular "General Hospital" (1963) star Emma Samms. She is the national spokesperson for Nourkrin, an all-natural, marine protein based supplement which helps promote hair growth and reduce thinning hair.
