Born in Queens, New York, in March 1957, Pam DuBois was raised largely by her grandmother after being placed in her care at an early age. Her grandmother, recently widowed at the time, became a stabilizing presence during her childhood.The family business supplied specialty garments and accessories to Broadway productions, the circus, and major touring shows such as the Ice Capades. Through this work, DuBois was introduced at a young age to performers and entertainers of the era, including the Andrews Sisters.That early exposure to show business and its personalities would have a lasting impact on her life, culminating with becoming the adopted daughter of Patty Andrews. She is now an author, podcaster, and keeper of the flame for the Andrews Sisters.
