Who was Pam Hurn?
Pam Hurn was born in January 1954. She was born in Rockford, Illinois, United States of America. She is 69 years old now. Her nationality is American, and she belongs to the white ethnicity.
She was born to a father who worked in a coal factory in Kentucky, and a mother named Violet Hurn. She spent most of her childhood in Kentucky with both her parents, where she had her basic and other higher-level education.
Pam described her life from childhood to adulthood as a roller coaster, due to the numerous phases of life she went through. As a little girl in her early forties, she used to be obsessed, something that was normal in her family. The average weight in her family was 190 lbs., therefore her weight at the time was above 190 lbs, and was not a worry for her parent.
She started dieting at the early age of nine but was not able to achieve her desired body weight. This got her tagged as ”Fat Girl” most of her life. She blamed her weight gain on sugar and other bad eating choices.
Pam Hurn said: ”Shocking, I know! I still can’t believe it myself. It is a beautiful, calm, relaxed place to ‘find’ yourself ..but Kentucky is the home of Crisco, sugar, bacon, and the refined carbohydrate, making it a dicey place to call home if your drug of choice is food (as it is and has always been mine).”
Pam Hurn started her life as a fashion designer, but later she moved into entrepreneurship. Her life before she met and married Ed McMahon, was a complete disaster.

In an interview, Pam disclosed how Ed fell in love with her the very moment they first met. She also talked about how the late announcer loved her. She said: ”Ed loved me for me; for the woman I was at the very moment we met. Not for who I could be if I would only stop eating, start exercising and lose thirty pounds. Not if I was prettier, smarter, a better wife, mother, stepmother, daughter, sister, or friend.. he accepted me, and adored me, but more importantly, Ed was proud of me. Even if the only thing that fit were a pair of XXL elastic banded sweats pants and one of his “Humungo” Tonight Show t-shirts. I never had anyone love me that way before… through thick and thin (literally!). He was my knight in shining armor. The problem was that I never learned to love myself.”
