Biography:"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). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
