Oh god, do they still broadcast emergency calls? I think that's inexcusable.

How do they know? Surely there are 1000's and 1000's of calls. TMZ are always playing 911 calls.

Actually it says her address, maybe I should remove it. Although it's on YT but

How does it work? Can you listen to every single one? Must be 1000's. How weird.

Anway I deleted it, despite being on YT it does cross a line.

TMZ seem to broadcast them all the time.

I'll be glad when it's back up and running again. I've missed the site since it's been offline. :(

Are you talking about this one?


I thought it was Hello magazine.

Let's face it, we know there was a bitterness between the cast and VP.

Something happened in 2004 which left a dent so big it was unrepairable.
Probably because of her successful career post Dallas.

She's a multi-millionnaire because of Principal Secret her skincare range.

I have nothing but respect & admiration for her.

Such a shame the green eyed monster was present in her fellow cast members just because she had a successful career. :(

That is nothing but dangerous speculation. It’s nasty and it’s uncalled for. We’ve been here before. I can’t believe some of this coming from people who say they are Dallas fans. Without Linda Larry and Patrick Dallas would have ended a lot sooner than it did.

None of us know for sure what went on and making accusations based on theory is a really silly thing to do. What exactly are you basing this theory on? She had a successful skin care business - and? The others are actors and without them we would have lost Dallas a lot sooner. What if there is no jealousy? Is the negativity really necessary? Tone it down please, it’s fine to debate but throwing things out with no proof isn’t on.

Linda has had a great acting career after Dallas, which is what she wanted and has done fantastic humanitarian work. She’s 81 and looks fantastic, I don’t believe anywhere in her positive attitude she would have time for jealousy.

Did Larry ever look like a man who was jealous of anybody?

Patrick is a Buddhist - no time for anything but positivity.

I think something has happened, but even Victoria said she ‘missed the faces of the cast she loved so much’.

I find this continuing nastiness about a cast we are supposed to love completely sickening to be honest.

As Luke once said ‘Aren’t we all Dallas fans here?’

We are the leading site for Dallas - let’s act like we are and be a bit more mature about all this.

Sorry, I didn't mean to cause any offense.

It's probably someone in the call centre selling recordings of calls made by celebrities.

I don't think they were jealous. It may have been they couldn't control her. It's not like she went on to become Meryl Streep. They all had money.

I was watching one of her interviews with Wogan where he continued to call Pam dim and stupid. She laughed about it but I did wonder how really felt about that. He said everyone thinks that about Pam.

I didn't.

She was a woman who I don't think would have been happy with the character she played. She was all about PR and being termed a dimwit was probably not on her list of how she wanted to be perceived.

I do wonder what it was like on that set and how you would need a strong backbone if not in the main group.

I have watched many interviews with her this week, even early in she made no secret of the fact she had no intention of sticking around until the bitter end.

She made it very clear how she wished Pam was more out spoken. Ironically in that final year they did the opposite.

David Jacobs said Katzman didn't like her and insintuated they did it deliberately to get her off the show.

Knowing how important she was you would think they would have listened to her criticism and did something about it. Instead it must have felt like her opinion didn't really matter.

We may never know the ins and outs of it all.

The unfortunate thing perhaps is that objectively in regards to the show went out the window at some point. It stopped being about making viewers happy and instead seems to have become more focused on behind the scenes dynamics.

What did they say exactly? If she was deliberately kept less outspoken in the early years, it was probably because her acting was dodgy at that point. Once her performance improved markedly from Spring 1982 onward, Pam became stronger because they started writing to it.

Yeah, her last year saw her whiny at home, but she was back and Southfork and wanting a baby. Again. Only now she wanted Jenna's.

If anything I've heard the opposite, that Victoria adored Lennie.

She told Lorimar she would be leaving in the tenth (DVD) season but they didn't inform Katzman about it. Victoria had to tell him herself. That doesn't say much about Lorimar that they couldn't inform the Executive Producer of Dallas that one of their main stars was about to walk. :(

Please Ms Rivers, stop hacking Snarky's account from hell!

She dialed 911 on her husband, too, I'm pretty sure.

Former Dallas star Victoria Principal's husband has been arrested on domestic violence charges. Harry Glassman, a surgeon, allegedly assaulted the actress following a drunken row at their home in Beverly Hills. Principal, an avid campaigner against domestic violence, called police to their $4 million mansion on December 21. A source tells gossip bible The Star, "The two of them got into a fight that turned physical. There was alcohol involved. From what I understand, both of them had minor physical injuries." The 53-year-old actress was taken to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment and her husband of 17 years was taken to the Beverly Hills Police Department. A spokesman for the Los Angeles District Attorney says, "Mr. Glassman was arrested on suspicion of spousal abuse on December 21. Our office declined to file any charges and as far as we are concerned that is the end of the matter." However, the couple have issued a statement vehemently denying any marriage troubles. It says, "We have had a loving relationship for over 20 years. We've been and remain happily married. It is outrageous to believe we would inflict injury on one another or harm each other in any way."

Principal's Husband Hits Back at Security Story
30 May 2006 WENN
Former Dallas star Victoria Principal's estranged husband has attacked the actress for making him look like a monster after filing for divorce. Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Harry Glassman has gone public with his feelings about the end of his 21-year marriage after learning that Principal has reportedly hired 24-hour security to keep him away from her. He say his wife is hoping for sympathy by making him out to be violent, claiming she is simply trying to remind people of a 2002 incident when Glassman was arrested and briefly jailed after a domestic dispute at their Los Angeles home. In a statement, Glassman says, "I am saddened that Victoria is using the incident of my arrest in 2002 in an effort to gain leverage in our divorce proceedings. I have never physically abused my wife. My arrest was a consequence of her abuse of alcohol that resulted in her detention in the Cedars Sinai ER for psychiatric evaluation. My being taken into custody was police error, no charges were ever filed, and the arrest has been expunged from my record. Her current round-the-clock protection is a dramatic attempt to portray me in a negative light and is not based in reality. Victoria is not, nor has she ever been, in any danger because of me." The 60-year-old actress filed divorce papers on Tuesday, citing "irreconcilable differences."

Why is it always that damned bitch? She's the source of everything bad on DALLAS.

I always find it amusing how people can interpret the exact same things, so differently. For example, Patrick can give interviews and arrogantly describe himself as "the 2nd best" on DALLAS. He can leave because he wants to be a star instead of part of an ensemble. Then come back after insisting they kill his character off...only to force other actors out of their jobs and cause the female characters to become doorstops again. Then call himself, Haggie and Gray the Three Musketeers. But be totally fine with Gray being let go as long as he's getting free trips to Europe and lots of money......such an amazing friend.

Yet somehow....Victoria is the difficult one. She's the trouble maker. She's the one the Lorimar execs and the cast supposedly hated. I mean, she stood up for her character to have a back bone. She stayed until her contract was up. She wanted equal pay (damned woman again). She left, said she wasn't coming back and stuck to that. She continues to give interviews about her time on DALLAS, speaks highly of her fellow cast members, donates her time to charity events for the show, and many other things. That horrible, abhorrent, self-absorbed WOMAN!!!!!

On a bit of an aside...I think there may be a bit of a thaw in the air. Linda is suddenly liking Twitter posts about Victoria (never ever used to touch those things). Her publicist Jeffrey Lane, comments on Victoria's Instagram posts quite often. Patrick just gave a lengthy interview to Kara Mayer Robinson from Really Famous and describes himself as still a friend with "Veep" or "V.P.". Plus, on another podcast, even praises Victoria.


Something isn't right with this world...hehehe

As they should be. A powerful WOMAN is never ever ever a good thing. We should know our place...behind two, better, higher paid men.:re:

Apparently, VP asked for financial parity with Patrick in 1987 and was only willing to re-sign for one year while Lorimar wanted two -- and they offered her a raise to make her the highest paid actress on television, but not equal to Patrick.

When negotiations failed, Lorimar said "her demands were very high," and she said something very gracious like, "CBS and Lorimar have always been very generous with me."

Linda asserted that Victoria was "too strong and independent" to ever come back to DALLAS
.
A year later, with the show slipping, the executives reportedly sent Larry out to offer Principal -- over dinner -- finally, parity with Duffy -... but by then, she wasn't biting.

Let's not forget that they entitled the episode "The Mummy's Revenge" when Pam disappears... Well, the mummy was Pam... so what does that say about the behind-the-scenes politics?
