Eighties TV star, 74, has barely aged a day 38 years after history-making show, quitting acting and plan to go to space
DALLAS star Victoria Principal has barely aged nearly four decades after her role in the iconic show.
The Hollywood siren, who lives in California, stepped away from the spotlight in the early 2000s to focus on her passion for space and the environment.
Retired Victoria, 74, was a screen siren but still looks absolutely incredible, with fans commenting on a recent Instagram post showing her feeding her Shetland ponies.
The Dallas star captioned it: “My lettuce lovers!”
“Victoria you are absolutely stunning lady!” one fan replied. “And your friends are kind of cute too!!”
Her last acting job was in the prime soap Titans about a wealthy family living in Hawaii.
In 2009 she forked out $200,000 for a ticket to travel into space on the world’s first commencial passenger spacecraft, the VSS Enterprise.
She told People at the time: “Going into space fulfils many desires I have of seeing the planet, going fast, going someplace very few people have been – and hopefully coming back down!”
The Virgin Galactic flight was abandoned after the plane suffered a catastrophic break-up during a test flight and crashed into the Mojave Desert in California in 2014.
Co-pilot Mike Alsbury was killed while pilot Pete Siebold survived by releasing the straps on his seat as the plane disintegrated.
Victoria meanwhile dedicated her time to her philanthropic work and animal rescue efforts.
She set up the Victoria Principal Foundation for Thoughtful Existence focusing on helping the environment.
In a 2012 interview with the HuffPost she said: “My deepest concern is for the planet and every living thing on it.
“Without a healthy planet education won’t matter, hunger won’t matter, and science won’t matter because we will not survive.
“Unless we rectify the damage we have done to our land and our oceans, then I truly believe, the planet will reclaim itself.”
The American-Japanese star joined Dallas in 1978 playing Pamela, and over the course of her nine-year run found worldwide fame.
Victoria founded a beauty company which she sold called Principal Secret in 2018, and she wrote books about beauty and fitness.
