In addition to Silver Spoons actress Erin Gray did commercials. In the 1980's Erin Gray became the spokeswoman for Bloomingdales and she began appearing in Bloomingdales commercials in 1982 "I think this was when she also was on Silver Spoons" and Erin is seen modeling fashions and bedding but she had no speaking parts in these commercials. Erin Gray no longer appeared in Bloomingdales commercials in 1985 but it makes me think that prior to Silver Spoons Erin Gray was a model and that's what landed her in Silver Spoons. Was Erin Gray a model before Silver Spoons?
