removed link to http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/pamelastephensonconnolly : it states that "Pamela Stephenson Connolly is a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist who specialises in treating sexual disorders.", clearly another Pamela. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.149.213.190 ( talk) 23:40, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Ummmm just to say its says that pamela was born in auckland except she is an australian actor whats up with that!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maxryck22 ( talk • contribs) 13:18, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
After watching for a significant amount of time I am starting to feel this article is being trolled to a degree. I do not know why this article is attracting them but there seems to be a couple of users that do not understand what is noteworthy, what is good style practice, or have unreasonable biases against the subject. Living Persons articles must be taken particularly seriously and dealt with with sensitivity. I have tried to be diplomatic but I am growing weary of protecting this article from juvenile edits. I would like to request that everyone please be a little more thoughtful when making changes. There is still a lot of valuable information that can be contributed to the article, but avoid trivia, irrelevancies and when an experienced editor makes a copy alteration consider why they have done so and don't take it personally. Thank you. Tubusy ( talk) 15:18, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
I have heard (from television) that Pamela Stephenson is a vegan. If reliable sources can be tracked down, this could be put in the article. ACEOREVIVED ( talk) 23:37, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
This source says "After escaping to Bali in a futile attempt to forget Connolly and her failed short marriage to British actor Nicholas Ball, Stephenson returned to the UK and her ‘‘gypsy lover’’." But when were she and Ball divorced? I can find 1981 online, but only some non-RS sleb-goss-type sources. Martinevans123 ( talk) 10:59, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
Is this Pamela Stephenson's voice as a narrator?

Hi BennyOnTheLoose, I came here through a weird series of events sparked by watching the film What We Did on Our Holiday the other day. Looking forward to reviewing this article as part of the August 2023 GAN Backlog Drive!

On this version
Her doctoral dissertation focused on the "intra-psychic experience of fame".and
Stephenson-Connolly tells the story in her book, Sex Life: How Our Sexual Experiences Define Who We Are.I've added an extra ref from 2007 for the full title of Head Case BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 00:19, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
But don’t be thinking this is easy for me. I’m darn good at getting under other people’s skin, but opening up about my own life is quite a different matter. And since I truly hate to be misunderstood, how am I going to communicate the gestalt of who I am? People who have come to public attention are portrayed in fragments, and I would be quite afraid to discover which particular aspect of me you had already gleaned. Was it ‘the woman in the American Express sketch’? Or ‘Billy Connolly’s missus’? Or simply ‘wacky, zany Pam’? Being reduced to a three-word phrase turns one into a one-dimensional being and the impression that’s created is very hard to shift. So how shall I portray myself? There are choices, you know. Wife, mother, psychologist, writer, comedian, actor, dancer, diver, gypsy, dreamer, rich girl, poor girl, beggar girl, thief . . . I am all of those and more. Tell you what, YOU decide. You decide exactly what I am.
