Meet the Contestants of "The Golden Bachelor" — Including Matt James's Mom

Pamela is a 75-year-old retired salon owner from Illinois. "Pamela is ready to say goodbye to her single days. This vivacious beauty lives an incredibly fulfilling life and says she is hoping to find a special someone with whom to share it," her bio reads. "Pamela's dream man is spontaneous, gentle, witty, and laid-back. There's nothing Pamela loves more than reading on a hammock while sipping a cocktail. In this chapter of life, Pamela loves spending time with her two children and three grandchildren. Her family and friends describe her as a great listener and hopeless romantic."
