When did Pamela Salem pass away?
Pamela died in her Florida home in Surfside in the morning.
David Richardson, her Big Finish producer, told everyone the news of her death: “Pamela Salem was lovely, and we all loved her.”
“Whenever she had a recording with Big Finish, she’d fly in from Miami by herself, with no fuss or drama.”
“She would show up at the studio with the biggest hugs, the nicest smiles, and often gifts.”
“She was a very kind person who was always interested in everyone, from her co-stars to the production team to visitors and guest actors.”
“She talked with joy about her home on Miami Beach, waking up to warmth and waves.”
What role did Pamela Salem play on EastEnders?
Between 1988 and 1989, Pamela played Joanne Francis in 37 episodes of EastEnders.
People first saw her in Albert Square in June 1988 as a member of the gangster group called “The Firm.”
Joanne’s boss, Mr. Vinnicombe, sent her to Walford to run Strokes Winebar, which was really a front for an illegal gambling den.
The manager, Dirty Den Watts (Leslie Grantham), doesn’t like it when she shows up.
Even though they were hostile at first, Joanne and Den worked well together and became good friends.
