She has appeared in a variety of films over the course of her career, and as she continues her endeavors, it is expected that her wealth will also continue to increase.

Early Life and Career Beginnings

Pamela grew up in Glendale where her father worked as a veterinarian. She attended Argyle Academy and after matriculating, she enrolled in the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London in hopes of pursuing an acting career after completing her studies. One of her first roles was in 1970 in the western film entitled “There Was a Crooked Man…”, which starred Kirk Douglas and was written by David Newman and Robert Benton, who wrote “Bonnie & Clyde.”

Her next notable project would come in the game show entitled “Treasure Hunt”, on which she worked as a model for a year in the series which featured contestants selecting treasure chests in hopes of winning large prizes, including a cash jackpot. The following year, she began appearing more on television, in guest roles including in “Kojak”, “Owen Marshall: Counselor at Law”, and “McMillan & Wife”. She was establishing herself as a television mainstay, though still having a few film projects, including “Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze” which starred Ron Ely, and was directed by Michael Anderson who also directed “Around the World in 80 Days”.

Career Prominence

From 1975 to 1976, Hensley played the character Janet Blake (Riley) in the series “Marcus Welby, M.D.” for a total of 24 episodes, starring with Robert Young as the titular character alongside a supporting cast which featured James Brolin and Elena Verdugo. She then had a regular role in “Kingston: Confidential”, a crime drama film that aired on the NBC, and continued with multiple episode roles in shows such as “Switch” and “The Six Million Dollar Man”.

In 1979, she appeared in the miniseries “The Rebels” which is based on the historical novel of the same name about the American Revolution. This was followed up by the science fiction adventure series entitled “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century”, which ran for two seasons over the next two years – the pilot episode was aired theatrically, and is based on the character Buck Rogers which was created by Philip Francis Nowlan, and been featured in comic strips and novellas both on television as well as on radio.
