Don't have time to write up a post right now, so here's a Space Babes "Extra" - a gallery of Buck Rogers publicity stills I've been saving, featuring the delectable Ms. Erin Gray as Earth Defense Directorate Colonel Wilma Deering.
Ms Gray was the Space: 1970 Space Babe for March, 2010. Enjoy!
NOTE: September's Space Babe will be posted shortly!




Always loved that green spandex outfit. And the purple one. And the blue one...
ReplyDelete...and the white one !!
ReplyDeleteErin Gray is a total babe !!!
I remember reading a review of "Buck Rogers" from when it first aired -- the reviewer said something like they were trying to use Erin Grey in spandex costumes to distract from the flimsiness of the stories. I do not mind that distraction AT ALL.
ReplyDeleteShe's at the end of this week's episode of The Guild.

They're about eight minutes, but you could skip to the end. If you don't want to see she's changed, don't go. But you know, she's pretty cool anyway.

"the reviewer said something like they were trying to use Erin Grey in spandex costumes to distract from the flimsiness of the stories."
ReplyDeleteWell, it worked! I was duly distracted.
As I imagine most fans know, actress Juanin Clay (WarGames, 1983) was selected to play Wilma Deering in the Buck Rogers series when Gray was uncertain if she could reprise her movie role. Clay later played Maj. Marla Landers in the episode "Vegas in Space." I didn't know this when I first saw the episode, but it explains the odd "switch" where Deering tells Buck that he will be accompanied on the mission by Landers. "Oh, that Maj. Landers!"
ReplyDeleteThese pictures don't do her justice
ReplyDeleteOne of the most beautiful ! Thanks for sharing

ReplyDeleteMy very second crush from the '70s! (The first was Laurette Spang, "Casseiopeia" of Battlestar Galactica.) Erin had that special lustrous quality that still sparkles!
ReplyDeleteErin Gray in spandex was THE reason I went through puberty. Thank you Colonel Deering.
