About the Author
Pamela Richardson was born in Montreal, Quebec, and grew up in Vancouver, British
Columbia, when her family relocated there in the early 1950’s. During her
student years at the University of British Columbia she was assistant fashion coordinator
in the Vancouver store of the Hudson’s Bay Company, and a successful model.
In 1972 she moved to London, England, where she worked as a production assistant
for some of the top television directors, leading to a career that combined her
love of fashion and design - styling sets and wardrobe for commercials and feature
films. Upon her return to Vancouver in the mid-70’s, Pamela became regional
fashion coordinator with the Hudson’s Bay Company. In 1977 she took the same
position with Sears while continuing freelance work as on-camera talent in numerous
television commercials and modeling assignments. When she was in her early 30’s,
Daryl Duke asked her to join his television station, CKVU, as the host of “The
Saturday Show”, a weekly program on Vancouver’s music, art and cultural
events. She was also West Coast representative for Toronto Life fashion magazine
and promotional director for Vancouver and Western Living magazines.
This is Pamela’s first book. Today she is a full-time mother to seventeen-year-old
Colby and fifteen-year-old Quinten. She lives with her husband, David, in Vancouver
and continues her involvement with many school, community and arts organizations.
