Pamela Franklin Avi

Pamela Franklin Avi Although now (unfortunately) a mere footnote in film history, Pamela Franklin had at one time both the ability and the momentum to have gone all the way to the top of her profession. Born in Tokyo, Japan on February 4, 1950 to British parents, Pamela Franklin spent her childhood living in Hong Kong, Australia, and Ceylon. (One published newspaper report claims she was born in 1949 in Yokohama.) Her father was in the export business and in the 1960s ran a village store in Sussex (U.K.). "I and my three brothers travelled around with him until I came to England when I was ten to go to ballet school," explained Franklin in a 1966 newspaper interview, referring to Elmshurst Ballet School, Camberley, Surrey.
