While Vera was in high school, Pamela Rose was the latest new young singer to burst onto the show business scene. Considering her age, she was immediately dubbed as America's sweetheart du jour. Pamela had recorded and released her first hit single at the age of twelve; a simple ditty but totally enjoyable to listen to. The song was appealing to all ages, and it turned her into an instant celebrity.
Her musical style developed into eclectic and varied modes. She was a pleasure to hear whether she was singing country & western, folk, acid rock, classical rock, jazz or blues. She was totally proficient at any of those styles of music so that she could not be pinpointed into a particular category. As a result, she was simply designated as a pop singer. Her voice was compelling and no matter what kind of music she sang, she sounded as if that was the only kind of music in her repertoire. She thus attracted a variety of fans, and not exclusively confined to any age group either. This provided her more broad appeal than most of her peers in the entertainment industry. Since all of her fans liked something that she sang, they just did not pay attention to her renditions of the music they did not enjoy.
Pamela Rose started touring when she was only thirteen, and every concert was sold out. At fifteen she had her own entertainment show on TV which was a huge ratings success despite being virtually the only show of its kind on the air. She took some acting lessons when she was seventeen and starred in her first movie. She was an adequate enough actress, so her movie was a smash box office hit and a runaway best seller in DVDs sales and rentals; and kept even selling up to twenty years later. By the time Pamela turned eighteen she was among the top five wealthiest females in show business.
Her career was shrewdly managed by her mother Hannah Rose. Hannah had had her own show business ambitions, but it was obvious to even herself that she possessed no artistic talents. She knew therefore, that if she wanted a career in the entertainment industry it would be as an agent. As soon as Hannah finished high school, she left home and obtained employment with a well respected talent agency in southern California. Hired as a clerk and secretary with menial tasks and chores, Hannah paid keen attention to her work environment and progressed quickly to more responsible positions. Consequently, she was gaining knowledge and experience in show business.
However, her initial show business career came to a halt after just a few years when she met an unbelievably handsome doctor. She quit the agency, married the doctor and gave birth to Pamela.
Hannah never lost her show business ambitions though, and as she delivered Pamela into the world, she instinctively believed that her daughter would become a mega star with her help and direction. Even as she put Pamela for the first time to her breast, she was already formulating her plans for her infant daughter. Hannah's husband, Peter, might have been an obstacle to Hannah's plans for Pamela's upbringing as he favored a truly normal childhood for their daughter. However, he died in a car accident before Pamela's second birthday so that Hannah had an unfettered control of her daughter's life.
Relying on her experience at the talent agency, Hannah set a determined goal of transforming Pamela into an entertainment celebrity. Hannah entered her daughter in beauty pageants as early as six years old. Pamela was an incredibly beautiful child. The other mothers groaned and despaired when they saw Pamela Rose! They knew their own daughters had no chance on the beauty contests.
Sure enough, Pamela won every beauty pageant she entered. The beauty pageants paved the way for television commercials as Pamela was absolutely photogenic. By the time Pamela was eight she was earning more money than a vast majority of adults. Hannah had Pamela take music lessons including flute, guitar and voice. Pamela took ballet and tap dancing lessons as well on the behest of her overbearing mother. Hannah home schooled her daughter in addition to hiring tutors so that normal school attendance would not interfere with what Hannah deemed her daughter's destiny.
Pamela proved to be a very malleable child who gave Hannah no problem to the latter's schemes and dreams for her. Under her mother's influence, Pamela developed a similar intense and focused desire to succeed in show business. Obviously had Pamela not possessed any innate artistic talent, all of her mother's efforts would have been in vain; but Pamela did indeed possess awesome natural raw talent. Pamela's childhood voice was very powerful but angelic and sweet sounding. As she got older her voice matured to sexy and sultry in delivery which was absolutely spell-bounding to her listeners. She had an inbred flair for dancing and as a result of her ballet and tap dancing lessons she became quite adept at producing spectacular dance routines in her performances. Her fans of her television show and those who attended her concerts were never disappointed, but instead were fully satisfied by her entertainment.
Pamela's absolutely luscious beauty cemented her appeal and garnered the adulation amongst her fans. Anyone whether female or male could not help but smile when looking at her; so infectious was her demeanor and visage. Hannah's forte as her daughter's agent and manager was to establish and foster a totally wholesome and innocent personality package of Pamela to the public. Her television show was cleverly crafted to reinforce such an image. As a result of her mother's machinations, adults old enough to be Pamela's parents had the impression that she was the ideal daughter and held her up as a role model to their own children.
This naturally meant that no parent protested one's child either attending a Pamela Rose concert or forbidding purchase of her music. Because of the manufactured image of the stereotypical wholesome girl next door, her male fans would continuously fantasize of Pamela as being their own girlfriend. Her female fans, on the other hand, would fantasize on being her, so that they emulated Pamela in every way possible. This in turn paved the way for a lucrative official Pamela Rose clothing and jewelry retail business. Hannah could take great pride in herself for her part in creating the fame and fortune of her daughter.
Pamela had a sharp mind but as her mother was so domineering, she tended to disguise how smart she truly was. Every time she would defy her mother a terrific row would ensue, so Pamela learned to pick her battles carefully, as a result she had no reason to rebel against her mother's tight control and was content with her fame. She was never concerned that she was deprived of a normal childhood.
After her television show started and she was sixteen, Pamela lost her virginity as she discovered sex and found that she loved it! Actually, Pamela had the soul of a slut and a whore; about 180 degrees opposite to her public persona. Her mother soon caught her with one of her band members in a sexual situation. Horrified Hannah dismissed the man and laid down the law to her daughter.
Mother and daughter had a heated war of words. Hannah pointed out to Pamela that her public persona was virginal. Everyone believed her to be a chaste young woman. If the public were to come to believe differently, then her career would be instantly over. Hannah pointed out to her daughter that there were lots of other talented young girls eager to replace Pamela Rose.
As a result of this exchange Pamela acquiesced to and conceded her mother's wisdom in this matter. She agreed to strive not to have sex until she was older when her fans could tolerate her being sexual. Until then she would give no cause for her fans to believe she was a slattern; Pamela promised her mother that she would be circumspect. And Pamela was good to her word; if she did have any sex when she was sixteen or seventeen, no one knew about it. However, for insurance against an "accident", Hannah saw to it that Pamela was fitted for an IUD.
