Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Pamela Silva was born in Lima, Peru and immigrated to the U.S when she was 2 1/2 years old. Her families' departure in 1986, was a direct result of the political and social upheaval facing the nation. After her father, Raul Silva, a political journalist decided to leave the country, they moved directly to Orange County, CA, where Pamela grew up. Her mother, Teresa Silva a one time teacher, worked laboriously in garment factories while her father continued on as a writer. Growing up in Placentia, a suburban neighborhood of Southern California, and seeing the struggles of her parents to raise her and her older sister Rosalynn, prompted Pamela to highly value the efforts of her parents. As a result she became intensely dedicated to her studies. An honors student, Pamela excelled scholastically and attended USC, graduating with Bachelor's degrees in English and Spanish. After college her desire to help those who struggle with English motivated Pamela to become a teacher. For many years she instructed at-risk youth and adult education students in underserved areas of the state. In order to perfect her skills, she went on to obtain her Master's in Education from Pepperdine University. All the while, Pamela contemplated acting due to her strong inclination towards the performing arts, but thought the idea of pursuing it was something completely unimaginable and would be incredibly hard. It wasn't until 2012 that she finally realized it was time to chase the dream and she began splitting her time between teaching and the performing arts. She started training intensively at several institutes in Los Angeles including the award winning "Berg Studios." She performed in several projects including "Cold" and the remake of 'The Descendants." In the latter, her role of Kai demonstrated her intense dramatic skills as a bitter, enraged spouse facing the eminent death of a dear friend. Pamela tends to gravitate towards thought provoking scripts with rich insight into the human experience. Her wide range is evident; she shows sarcasm and humor in the character of Olive in the remake of Easy A and is a concerned, distraught mother in "Cold." Aside from acting, Pamela has worked in news radio and specializes in bilingual voice over acting. She resides in Los Angeles where she spends her spare time practicing crossfit, rowing and indoor cycling. She is an avid reader of contemporary American poetry and consistently follows political news stories.

My parents tell me that I learned English rather quickly after we arrived to the US. It&#39;s amazing how quickly a toddler can pick up a new language. My first sentence was humorously &quot;Yo quiero chicken.&quot;

I am really proud to have gone to USC during what I consider their golden years in football (2001-2005).

I own so much makeup-actually cases of it. Ever since I was a child I was drawn to it. The irony is I rarely wear it-only when I&#39;m working or am off to an event.

My guilty pleasures are chocolate and cherry coke. They are both so yummy!

I am probably one of the best sleepers I know. My dad told me when I was a kid that when my head hits the pillow I need to forget my worries and go to bed. Best advice ever.
