Pamela Dawber (born October 18, 1951) is an American actress best known for her lead television sitcom roles as Mindy McConnell in Mork & Mindy (1978–1982) and Samantha Russell in My Sister Sam (1986–1988).
Dawber was born in Detroit, Michigan, the older of two daughters of Thelma M. (née Fisher) and Eugene E. Dawber, a commercial artist. She went to elementary school in Goodrich and attended North Farmington High School and Oakland Community College, with the intention of transferring to a four-year college. She deferred her studies at OCC to do some modeling work and eventually dropped out after deciding to go into modeling full-time.
Dawber moved to New York City and was initially a fashion model with Wilhelmina Models before switching to acting. She appeared in television commercials (Nair, Underalls, etc.).
Dawber screen-tested for the title role in Tabitha, a situation comedy spun off from Bewitched, which went to Lisa Hartman instead. ABC-TV, however, was favorably enough impressed with her to enroll her in its "talent development" program, which paid its participants until they could find appropriate roles. It was from this program that Garry K. Marshall recruited her.
