The Mork & Mindy star sported a white blouse, high-waisted jeans and a straw hat to cover her short gray hair.
In 2016, Pam revealed why she walked away from Hollywood after having children.
“I don’t think two people can work in show business all the time and still be married,” the 72-year-old actor said. Entertainment Tonight.
Reflecting on the legendary comedy show Mork & Mindy, which she starred in alongside the late Robin Williams, Pam added: “I was on a number one show.”
“I had my own business,” she continued. “I was able to work on Broadway, in musical theater, in cartoon voices. I did everything you can do in this business, and then I had kids and I thought, ‘I’m not going to chase this fame.'”
Pam last appeared as a series regular in 1998, when she voiced Perdy in the animated television show 101 Dalmatians: The Series.
After starring in the TV movie Don’t Look Behind You in 1999, the Trail of Tears actress walked away for good.
“I wanted to drive my kids to school,” Pam told the outlet. “I wanted to be there for their birthdays and bring cupcakes and donuts and do the school festivals and all that, and I did. I got to teach in their art class, so it was a different life back then and I was very happy to do that.”
It was also important for the icon to keep her family’s private life out of the tabloids.
“You don’t see us in magazines,” she said. “When you’re married, that’s real life. And going out and messing with your kids… I’m sorry. I’m not into that.”

The couple have been married for 37 years after tying the knot in 1987 and share sons Sean, 36, and Ty, 32.
And at that time, Pam even confessed that her children had not seen her work, something she is more than happy with.
“I’m just their mother,” she said. “They don’t care what I did. They care what they’re doing. They want their parents to care what they’re doing. Their father is already iconic enough for two kids. I’m just the mother.”
However, fifteen years later, Pam returned to television in a limited capacity.
Pam worked alongside her former co-star Robin on his show, The Crazy Ones, in 2014 and reflected on how her old friend convinced her to appear on the comedy.
“I hadn’t seen Robin in 20 years,” she recalled to ET. “I did that episode because I wanted to be with Robin. I wanted to see Robin. It was a gift. It was a great gift.”
He also guest-starred on The Odd Couple in 2016 for a tribute episode to the late Garry Marshall, who gave the comedians their start on Mork & Mindy.

The mother of two revealed why she walked away from Hollywood after having children despite her huge success: “I don’t think two people can work all the time in show business and stay married”
“Garry influenced all of our lives,” the mother of two acknowledged. “Garry put us all on the map and we all had careers because of Garry. In a way, we orbited around Garry’s big star.”
And most recently, in 2021, Pam worked with her husband on seven episodes of NCIS.
At the time, the Dream On alum spoke about her role as Marcie Warren, described by the series as “a seasoned investigative journalist who uses her wit and down-to-earth social skills to aid in her relentless pursuit of the truth.”
“Trust me, I’ve been answering a lot of questions about that within my own group of friends,” Pam said. Entertainment Weekly on standing in front of Mark. ‘I thought, no, this is not going to be romantic.’
For Pam, however, it was a process that was a long time coming.
“The show has been on for a hundred years and I’ve been attacked several times,” he shared. “Either I just didn’t want to do it or I didn’t appreciate what they wanted me to do. Or Christmas was coming up and I was like, ‘I can’t do this. My parents are coming into town.’ I just wasn’t interested in, you know, continuing the business.”
Pam added: “At this age, that’s what you have to do. You have to really want to do it. I don’t want to expose myself any more.”
In 2021, the Dream On star worked alongside her husband in seven episodes of NCIS, playing Marcie Warren, described by the series as “a seasoned investigative journalist who uses her wit and down-to-earth interpersonal skills to aid in her relentless pursuit of the truth.”
She recalls the script: “The character is so good. I fell in love with what they wrote. And then I got anxious and thought, ‘Oh my God, am I going to do this?'”
This time was different after Pam’s agent emailed her about the role.
“I guess they had created this character, Marcie,” she continued. “Mark didn’t tell me about it. All of a sudden, I got an email from my agent and I thought, ‘Oh, poor Harry, my poor agent, here we go again. I’m going to turn it down. ‘ And he said, ‘Well, maybe you want to read this. ‘”
“I guess they were just tossing around names to cast someone to play the part and Mark said, ‘You should talk to my wife about this character,'” Pam recalled. “The character is so good. I fell in love with what they wrote. And then I got all anxious and thought, ‘Oh my God, am I going to do this? ‘”
And so he did, with his life partner at his side.
“My husband is so supportive,” Pam gushed. “He’s a really generous, cool guy. He gives me all kinds of compliments, you know? It’s funny because Gibbs grunts out a lot of lines. He doesn’t give much away. So they butt heads. He frustrates Marcie to no end. So they have this weird relationship where they’re scrutinizing each other. She doesn’t understand if he’s telling the truth. Is this guy serious? And he’s thinking the same thing about her.”
What if Marcie’s arc is over for good? As Pam said, “I’m not sure it’s over!”
