[QUOTE="Pamela_E, post: 292794, member: 315"] 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. [/QUOTE]
