Who doesn't love Erin Gray? She has been around for what feels like forever, and quietly achieves greatness without making a big fuss about it. If she seems familiar but you can't quite place her, you'll probably remember her as Colonel Wilma Deering in the television series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, or as Kate Summers-Stratton in comedy series, Silver Spoons.
Gray has been open about the sexual molestation she suffered through as a child, at the hands of her stepfather. She also had to watch her mother be abused by the same man and has described how the "affectionate hugs" from her stepfather eventually turned to abuse. Eventually she fought back by threatening him with a knife. She now works with domestic abuse victims as part of her activism and commitment to create a kinder world.
