well-received. Some details
deemed “too American” were removed from the play and the play

Considering her relationship
with Winston Churchill’s family,
what was the U.K. reaction to
the play? The U.K. audiences and
critics loved the play and were
fascinated by Pamela’s exploits.
Interestingly enough, Pamela left
the U.K. for New York in 1959 and
spent the next four decades as a
U.S. resident. Most of the British
audiences were unaware of her
U.S. history. What the British audience didn’t know was that Pamela achieved so much more than
simply being Winston Churchill’s
daughter-in-law.
Have you been working with NJ
Rep on this production? Do you
plan to make it to the opening?
Yes, I’m there to be as helpful
as I can to SuzAnne Barabas the
director, and I will indeed be at
the opening. Pamela is on-stage
We can all fantasize
about having vast
wealth but we never
think for a minute
that we’d lose it.
