Pamela Franklin (born February 4 1950) is a British actress who first appeared in films from 1961 until 1976.

Franklin was born in Yokohama, Japan and grew up in the Far East, where her father was a trader. She was sent to the Elmhurst School of Ballet in England. She made her film debut, aged 11, starring in The Innocents (1961), and her television debut in 1963, in the Wonderful World of Disney's, The Horse Without a Head. Her first adult role was as a kidnap victim in The Night of the Following Day (1968).

Probably her best known role was as "Sandy" in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, although she previously received favourable critical notices for her portrayal of an unusually worldly teenager in the suspense movie The Nanny. She also appeared in the John Huston movie, Sinful Davey opposite a young John Hurt. The film was not successful, and failed to boost her career.

As an adult, she became somewhat typecast in horror films, after her performance in the occult thriller The Legend of Hell House. Her last film role was in The Food of the Gods (1976), although she made television appearances until 1981.

She married actor Harvey Jason in 1971, and they live in Hollywood with their two children.

Lovely, petite and beguiling brunette British actress Pamela Franklin was born on February 4th, 1950 in Yokohama, Japan. Because her father was an importer/exporter, Pamela grew up all over the world in such places as Hong Kong and Australia. Franklin studied dance at the Elmhurst School of Ballet in England and originally planned on becoming a dancer. Franklin made her film debut at age 11 as Flora in the marvelously eerie "The Innocents." Pamela was quite appealing as Tina in "The Lion" and held her own alongside Bette Davis in the fine Hammer chiller "The Nanny." An adorable child, Pamela grew up to become a strikingly sensuous and beautiful woman who was cast in more bold adult parts as she got older. Pamela gave a terrific performance as the rebellious Sandy in the outstanding drama "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" and was memorable as a hapless kidnap victim in "The Night of the Following Day." Franklin carved out a nice little niche as a personable and captivating scream queen in a handful of hugely enjoyable 70s horror features: the imperiled Jane in the harrowing "And Soon the Darkness," the equally endangered Lori Brandon in "Necromancy;" at her best as vulnerable psychic medium Florence Tanner in the superior haunted house winner "The Legend of Hell House," the plucky Elizabeth Sayers in the fun made-for-TV movie "Satan's School for Girls," and feisty scientist Lorna Scott in the outrageously tacky "The Food of the Gods." Among the many TV shows Pamela did guest spots on are "Fantasy Island," "Vega$," "Trapper John, M.D.," "Barnaby Jones," "Police Woman," "Hawaii Five-O," "Thriller," "Medical Center," "Mannix," "Cannon," "The Six Million Dollar Man," "The Streets of San Francisco," "Bonanza," "Green Acres," and "The Wonderful World of Disney." Franklin voluntarily quit acting in the early 80s. She married actor Harvey Jason in 1971 -- they met on the set of "Necromancy" -- and has two children. Pamela Franklin still lives in Hollywood, California.
