Pamela Hensley

Hensley entered the literary world in 2004 with the publication of a small cookbook called The Jewish-Sicilian Cookbook authored under her married name, Pamela Hensley Vincent. She has been married to noted television executive producer, E. Duke Vincent, since 1982. She does not have any children.

She appeared in the role of Princess Ardala in the film Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (originally a television pilot that was released theatrically) before playing her several times in the subsequent series. Her longest-running role was as C.J. Parsons during the three-year run of the detective series Matt Houston. After that series ended in the spring of 1985, she abruptly retired from acting.

She worked mostly in television and had only eight credits in feature films. Her debut was in the dramedy There Was a Crooked Man... before appearing in a number of Universal television productions as a contract player in the 1970s. She played the wife of Dr. Kiley during the last season of Marcus Welby, M.D. This was followed by a half-season's work as an investigator on Kingston: Confidential.
