Pamela Conway-Morris (credited as Pamela Conway / Lorna Wilde)

Actress and model; claimed former Miss Wales (unconfirmed)

Pamela Conway-Morris, credited professionally in film and television as Pamela Conway and later as Lorna Wilde, worked as a British actress and model through the 1960s and into the 1970s. Her television credits include The Avengers (1961), The Saint (1965–1968), Dixon of Dock Green (1968–1969) and Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads? (1973–1974), alongside film roles in Son of Dracula (1973) and Sunstruck (1972).

This site's original entry described Pamela Conway-Morris as a former Miss Wales titleholder, born in Conwy. The only independent biographical record located for the actress credited as Pamela Conway gives a birth date of 19 October 1940 and a birthplace of Bridgend, rather than Conwy, and no record of her holding the Miss Wales title could be confirmed against the official list of winners. Both claims are noted here, honestly flagged as unconfirmed, rather than dropped or presented as settled fact.

Wherever her exact birthplace, Pamela Conway-Morris is one of a number of Welsh models and actresses associated with British film and television of the period, alongside contemporaries such as Miss Wales 1961 winner Rosemarie Frankland and beauty-pageant title holder Charlotte Hobrough.

British actress and model of the 1960s and 1970s; Welsh birthplace and Miss Wales title recorded by this site but not independently confirmed.

Under the name Lorna Wilde, adopted around 1967, she continued to work in British television and low-budget films into the early 1970s. Pamela Conway gives Bridgend as her birthplace and does not confirm a Miss Wales year. Both are presented here as unresolved rather than one being silently discarded.
