Victoria Principal

Another impressive female is Victoria Principal. While most people know her for being an actress, she is also an author, producer, and entrepreneur. She was supposed to go to law school but then she received the script for Dallas. She pursued the role and it seems she made the right choice as she rose to fame for portraying Pamela Barnes Ewing. After 9 years in the show, she decided to establish her own production company, Victoria Principal Productions.

In 1989, she devoted some of her investment money to create her own skincare line, Principal Secret. Her books, The Beauty Principal, The Diet Principal, The Body Principal, and Living Principal, talk about health, fitness, beauty, and skincare. Talking about her businesses, Victoria told The Huffington Post in 2012 that she loved working for herself, willingly taking the blame when something went wrong, and getting all the commendations when she got things right.
