Erin Gray on Erin Gray

I’ll never forget, one time I was at home and looking at an episode of Buck Rogers, and there was a moment when I walked away from the camera, so I’m seeing myself from behind – and I blushed. I was thinking that was quite – ahem! [laughs] - Erin Gray

Mine was like wearing a girdle from head to toe. It was very uncomfortable. After two years of wearing them, I remember at the end of the series, the costumer said ‘Would you like to keep these costumes?’ and I went ‘God, no! Burn them!’ Please, get rid of them. Of course I found out that later on they brought in a lot of money at an auction. I could have paid for my daughter’s college education with what they sold for! - Erin Gray on wearing Spandex

Erin Gray as Wilma Deering in Buck Rogers In The 25th Century
I didn't mind being on-camera wearing the spandex, but I couldn't walk around the studio with it on - I always had to wear a bathrobe over it!
Olivia Newton-John had to be sewn into her spandex for Grease. Was it that bad for you?
Erin Gray rocked many a young – and not so young - boy’s world in the 70s and 80s as the authoritative but sexy Wilma Deering in Glen A. Larson’s reboot of Buck Rogers In The 25th Century, since starring in a string of TV series, films and situation comedies.
