Erin Gray

Mixed Martial Arts

Erin Gray started modeling at 15, and she started doing TV commercials for Camay soap, Breck shampoo, and RC Cola after some time. Audiences didn’t have to wait for too long until Gray was making guest appearances on shows like Police Story and the short-lived but impactful Gibbsville. In 1978, her role in Evening in Byzantium led to her taking the role of Colonel Wilma Deering on Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. This role in particular was an important one, as she was TV’s first female colonel — showing that women could be strong and in charge. After Buck Rogers, she made an appearance on Magnum P.I., where her character was a security expert. She is still active in the business, and some of her most recent work was a role on the web series “Star Trek Continues” as Commodore Gray.
