How Did Mark Harmon Meet Pam Dawber?

Actors Mark Harmon and Pam Dawber, who have been married since 1987 and have two sons, per Hello Magazine, first met in a traditional way — through a mutual friend. A 1987 People interview notes Harmon and Dawber were at the friend's party when they first encountered each other in March 1986, and they quickly struck up a romance. According to Closer Weekly, Dawber had written out a list of qualities she sought out in a partner — and Harmon happened to possess all of these characteristics upon meeting. Harmon and Dawber's successful courtship resulted in the two getting engaged within a year of this party. 

Although the news of their engagement was public at the time, Harmon and Dawber made sure to keep the details of their relationship private from tabloids."We're not trying to keep something secret, but if you don't want it totally exploited by the press, you have to," Dawber told People. This strategy of keeping their personal lives under wraps has served the couple well, and they're still going strong in their happy union.
