  • Make way for Colonel Wilma Deering! When this member of the Defense Directorate marched onto our screens played by Erin Gray, it was easy to fall in love with her stellar performance. But how did she really feel about filming the demanding series? What was the relationship between Erin and co-star Gil Gerard? How did she overcome 22 years of abuse?

      Saw her doing autographs at a Trek convention in the 90s. Line was longer than others and I wasn’t big into autographs. Still thought it was neat to see her and all the other character actors there.

    We didn't have Buck Rogers here in Italy, at the time, so I fell in love with her on Silver Spoons. She had a bit of that "I know how stunning I am" attitude, but she combined it with a very honest look in her eyes, which made a perfect combination imho. After all, goddesses have to look somehow distant and unreachable, right? Best wishes to her and her family!

    Always loved this girl! Saw her in magazines in the early 70's with that crop of models like Maud Adams, Lauren Hutton and others, while I was studying photography, composition, lightning and such. I always thought: Who's that girl? She's awesome! She's a babe! Then I saw her in commercials, bit parts and such and thought: who IS she!? I finally knew her name when she co-starred in "Evening in Byzantium" with Glen Ford; one of my favorite mini series, about a year or so before Buck Rogers. (Wish I could get a DVD copy of it!). Then I followed her career as best I could from there, as by that time I was a young filmmaker and paid attention to many actors in case I might be lucky enough to work with them one day. (And also because Erin has always been so gorgeous to look at!). Most recently I've seen her in a Cognium commercial, and as Admiral Gray in Vic Mignogna's excellent fan series "Star Trek Continues", which also sports a lineup of many other great guest stars. She remains a quite comely lady to this day. As an aside, we got our first TV in 1960 when I was 4, and I immediately cut my sci-fi teeth on the Buster Crabbe serials "Flash Gordon" and "Buck Rogers". That was my gateway, along with the George Reeves "Superman", Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, and the great (and the not so great) movies that ran on the weekends. Years later, it was a great fanboy moment for me when Mr Crabbe guest starred on the new show and told Gil, as the new Buck, "Young Man, I was doing this sort of thing before you were born!". Gil: "Oh, you think so old man?". Buster: "Young Man, I KNOW so!". Still gives me goosebumps to this day; awesome! And so is Erin Gray! Anyway, I'm proud to now own all three complete series in my collection. Now if anyone knows of Evening in Byzantium available out there, I would like to hear about it. So far, had no luck finding it in any video catalog or online. Would love a copy autographed by Erin herself! Happy watching, everybody!

I can only imagine his feeling empty inside after all of that senclessness of a "war" God help them and us all . The soldiers that go into these conflicts not being told the truth of what they are doing there . I digress... Poor wonderful lady she deserved much better from the men in her life.

    Met her in Louisville, Ky, at i think a car show. It was during the TV show off time. There was a long line to get to meet her. So my brother and i stood off to the side just watching. Somehow, my brother made eye contact with her, and she surprised us by walking away from line and coming over to us. Well, she came over to my brother. They flirted with each other, and i was regulated to taking pictures. I must say she had on one of Buck Roger's outfits, and she was gorgeous . I hope my brother still has the pictures i took.
