Margaret Michaels is a former American actress best known for
appearing as the characters of Pamela Barnes Ewing (#2) and Jeanne
O'Brien on the CBS primetime soap opera Dallas (1978 TV series) and as
Santana Andrade #2 on the NBC daytime soap opera Santa
Barbara.Michaels was born in Portsmouth, Virginia. Winner of various
hometown beauty contests, she started her acting career after working
as make-up artist with small parts on various TV shows including The
Jeffersons and Dynasty. After appearing in 1983 film Scarface and
guest starring on Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Michaels was cast as
Santana Andrade on the NBC daytime soap opera Santa Barbara, replacing
Ava Lazar in this role.In the late 1980s, Warner Bros. was looking for
a Victoria Principal lookalike to step into the role of Pamela Ewing
on Dallas (1978 TV series), after Victoria Principal had left the
series to pursue other interests. Late in 1988, Michaels appeared
briefly in the first episode of the 12th season as Pamela Ewing with
her change in appearance being attributed to plastic surgery after her
near-fatal car accident.In the penultimate season 13, the producers of
the series were looking for a Pam look-alike in order to give Bobby
one last fling before his marriage to April Stevens, played by Sheree
J. Wilson, and to give Bobby Ewing a chance to sort of say goodbye to
his former wife, as he never had the chance when Pamela had left
abruptly back in 1987. Michaels was asked to return to the show, this
time not as Pamela Ewing, but as a Pam Ewing lookalike named Jeanne
O'Brien. After her 4-episode stint on the show, Michaels' character
Jeanne was written out. Margaret Michaels Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
