A Pam & Penny Story. A summer vacation aboard the Harwood College Showboat was an exciting prospect for Pam and Penny, the twins of Double Feature. To Penny, it meant being with Mike who had a job on the tugboat that pushed the old Regina from town to town along the Ohio River. To Pam it meant a chance to act, and perhaps a leading role in one of the gala showboat performances. The Pam & Penny Howard Series. Pam and Penny are identical twins with contrasting personalities? Pam is outgoing and popular while Pam is quiet and reserved. Each are lovely with dark hair and grey eyes. At the onset of the series, the twins have just moved from Chicago to Glenhurst, Illinois.
