Pamela Hensley
Born October 3, 1950 Glendale, CA
Proving that Sidekickology is not restricted to either men or shady characters, Ms. Hensley served as aide du camp to Matt Houston, titular protagonist of the ABC series that ran from 1982-1985. Lee Horsley played Matlock Houston, a billionaire Texas oilman who, for some reason, also worked as a private investigator in his ample spare time. Ms. Hensley played his lawyer, C.J. Parsons, who provided sage advice, someone to become imperiled very frequently and a Commodore VIC20 that seemed to have an anachronistic amount of networking/database capabilities.
Ms. Hensley is perhaps better known (especially to young men now in their 30s and 40s) for her previous role as the mischievous Princess Ardala on the 1979-80 series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.
Matt Houston seems to have been the venue for Ms. Hensley's last onscreen activity. Wikipedia reveals her more recent activities have included the 2004 publication of a small cookbook called The Jewish-Sicilian Cookbook authored under the name Pamela Hensley Vincent.
