Pamela's Bio - Snapshot 

PAMELA PARKER

Pamela started doing makeup and dancing Hawaiian and Jazz on stage when she was 9 years old. At the young age of 13 Pamela decided she wanted to become a movie star. Since • M O V I E S T A R • was not in the Yellow Pages and modeling was, she became a model instead. Linda Speer of Covergirl Edmonton believed in Pam enough to send her to Detroit Michigan on a private jet sponsored by June Kerrison of Junes House of Fashion to enter the Wilhelmina modeling convention in 1977. Pamela won two of three categories and was invited by Willy to live and work in New York City.

After waiting one year in Toronto for immigration Pamela headed back to stay in Manhattan for the next nine years. With 100’s of fashion shows, photo shoots for magazines or the Times, and television appearances (including regular appearances on Saturday Morning Live, Regis & Kathy Lee and soaps like Another World) Parker became an important face in the industry. Being part of the Model brigade included going to Studio 54. 1985 John Robert Powers School in Manhattan asked Pamela to teach modeling and makeup application. During that time Parker also went to hair school at Robert Fiancé and became a makeup artist under her business name, Lets Make-up.
