Career Beginnings

Erin’s wish to become a model appeared in her teen years – when she was 14, she won her first modeling pageant, held in St Louis. After this, she started appearing in commercials, which led her to Los Angeles. In 1967 she made her first on-screen appearance, as a dancer in the show “Malibu U”. However, from Los Angeles she moved to New York, and by the mid-‘70s she had become one of the most prominent TV models, with earnings of over $100,000 per year.

Following her enormous success as a model she turned to acting, and made her debut in 1976 in a minor role in the TV series “Maude”. She continued with minor roles until in 1979 Erin was chosen for her first major role, as Colonel Wilma Deering in the TV sci-fi series “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century”, which was also made into the film.

Rise to Prominence

Following the role of Colonel Wilma Deering, Erin was slowly becoming more popular in the TV world and was given more notable roles.

In 1982 she was cast as Kate Summers in the TV comedy series “Silver Spoons” (1982-1987); five seasons and 116 episodes later, Erin had become a star. The series was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award and won several other awards, which only increased Erin’s popularity. She continued quite successfully into the next decade, first with the part of Diana Kimble in the horror film “Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday” (1993), then as Chief Monica Johnson in the highly-acclaimed TV series “Baywatch” (1997-1998), and also as Nicole Devlin #2 in the TV series “Port Charles” (1999).

Decline in Career

With the start of the new millennium, Erin has struggled to secure any notable roles, and throughout the 2000s featured only in B-production films, which included the comedy-drama film “The Last Producer” (2000), then crime-drama “Touched by a Killer” (2001), comedy-drama “Siren” (2006), and “My True Self”, among others. Nevertheless, in recent years, she has managed to secure more prominent roles, and her career is back on track.
