My Take
Pamela Sue Martin owns two very different slices of American television, and I love the contrast. To one generation she's the wholesome, clever Nancy Drew; to another she's the scheming Fallon Carrington on Dynasty, all eighties shoulder pads and glamorous menace. That she chose to leave Dynasty at its peak rather than ride the soap forever tells you she had her own compass. Her move into writing and producing later on fits that independent streak. An actress who got typecast twice in opposite directions and still managed to keep her own hand on the wheel.
