History Creator / PamelaAdlon

She started her career in onscreen roles, appearing in the notoriously awful sequel to ''Film/{{Grease}}'', ''Film/{{Grease 2}}'', and on ''Series/TheFactsOfLife''. However, when things got rough as she got older, she decided to get into voice acting. Adlon generally [[CrossDressingVoices voices prepubescent and pubescent boys]] (some of whom are notorious for being [[{{Keet}} very loud, very weird, and/or very energetic]] if they're prepubescent. The pubescent boys she plays are either bullies, not very intelligent, or socially awkward), such as Bobby Hill on ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', the title character in the ''VideoGame/PajamaSam'' games, Milo Oblong on ''WesternAnimation/TheOblongs'', and Otto Osworth on ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'' (for which she was nominated for an Annie Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement for Voice Acting by a Female Performer in an Animated Television Production for the first episode, "Eli Whitney's Flesh-Eating Mistake"), though she has voiced girls, such as Ashley Spinelli on ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'', Moose (real name Margaret Rose) Pearson on ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn''[[note]]though it is very easy to mistake Moose for a boy, given her appearance and the fact that Adlon has voiced boys before[[/note]], and the Debbies (a gaggle of look-alike snobby blondes who live on the rich side of Hill Valley) on ''The Oblongs''.

Despite being known as a voice actress, Adlon also still works on camera, having appeared on ''Series/{{Californication}}'' and ''Series/{{Louie}}'' (where she was also a producer), and starring on ''Series/BetterThings'', which earned her an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. She has three daughters (Gideon, Odessa A'zion, and Valentine "Rocky") with her ex-husband Felix Adlon, and ''Better Things''' plot was based on her life with them. Like Pamela, all three of them are actresses.
