In January 2012, one of EastEnders' longest-serving and best-loved
characters breathed her last when Pat Butcher succumbed to cancer.
Her departure from the show gave actress Pam St Clement time to
reflect, not only on almost 26 years playing a role that she loved,
but also on her whole life. Pam's mother died when she was a baby,
leaving her with a father whose life didn't really have space for a
child. What followed was an itinerant childhood, with various
stepmothers and foster families, before an advertisement in The
Lady took 11-year-old Pamela to the farm in Devon that was to
become her true home, with the 'aunts' who became her surrogate
parents. Time on the farm at Dartmoor, where she discovered her
love of animals, alternated with life at The Warren boarding school
in West Sussex, where she discovered her passion for acting. On
leaving school, Pam was unsure of what direction to take but
gradually realised that acting was what she wanted to do with her
life. So, in 1966, Pam took up a place at drama school. Pam settled
in London and worked on stage and television throughout the sixties
and seventies, before her first appearance on EastEnders in 1986
and the offer of a permanent role a few months later. This memoir
is far more than simply an actor's tale. Quite apart from her
fascinating and unique childhood, Pam also recalls her involvement
in the women's movement of the 1970s, her lifelong love of animals
and the worries about her weight that have dogged her since her
teenage years. It is also a tribute to Pat Butcher, for whom Pam
retains a huge affection. This incredibly warm memoir reveals the
woman behind the popular EastEnders' character, a woman who, apart
perhaps from her earrings, couldn't be more different from Pat.
