My Take
Erin Gray is, to me, an underappreciated bridge figure of late-twentieth-century television. Her Colonel Wilma Deering in Buck Rogers gave science fiction a commanding female officer years before it became fashionable, and she carried that authority with an ease that modeling alone could never teach. What interests me most is her pivot to casting and talent representation, a move that signals real self-awareness about where power in the industry actually lives. A UCLA graduate who saw both sides of the camera, she strikes me as someone who understood show business as a system, not just a stage. That perspective deserves more credit than it gets.
