Biography

Early life

Principal was born in Fukuoka, Japan, the older of two daughters of Bertha Ree (née Veal) and Victor R. Principal. Principal gave a 1950 year of birth in a 2007 interview with the official Dallas website. She stated that she "felt that was the only way to clear this up once and for all. My name is my real name; my age is my real age. Someone on the internet, years ago, printed a different age than I am and I’m in the process legally of clearing that up, because I have never lied about my age."Colin Hunter (2007).
