 According to Pam's death certificate, she was born on April 10, 1950 and died on July 14, 1989, making her only thirty-nine years old at the time of her death.However, this contradicts the flashback scenes of the episode "Jock's Trial, Part II" in Season 3, in which Pamela's mother is pregnant with Pamela after the 1952 presidential election.The character of Pamela has been well received by television critics.
