Ack! I've been spending too many hours at the controls of a train or a plane (but no automobiles, mind you) and thus I've missed this.

Happy Birthday (belatedly) to Erin Gray, whose role as Colonel Wilma Deering, United Earth Directorate, was a splendid high point in 1970s television sci-fi. Born 07 January 1950 in Hawaii, she's probably one of the better things to come to us from our Pacific lands.

I of course am embarrassed that I made the mistake of missing this monumentous occasion, especially given my somewhat obnoxious cheering for her a while back. I think I wound up calling Pamela Hensley's Princess Ardala a space whore, although that may or may not have ever been posted.

Anyways, in tribute to Colonel Deering, a brief selection of images I recovered from an old backup tape that I made when the Internet was new. I quite obviously favor the Defense Directorate dress blues worn in the pilot. Check below the fold for 'em.

Feathered hair lives, even in 2491. Farrah Forever!

"Anything's possible, Captain Rogers. Except perhaps a good performance from you."
