'Astronaut Wives Club' co-star talks being spaceman's spouse on ABC series [i]"The Astronaut Wives Club" blasts off Thursday night (June 18) on ABC, giving viewers a look at the other "right stuff" — the women behind America's first spacemen. Based on author Lily Koppel's bestseller, the ten-episode docu-drama opens with NASA's Mercury 7 astronauts and, central to this series, their spouses, as they are thrust into the spotlight in the early 1960s. ...at the center of the astronaut wives club, on screen and in real life, was "Mother" Marge Slayton, the wife of Mercury astronaut Donald "Deke" Slayton. On TV, the late Slayton is played by actress Erin Cummings, who is no stranger to period pieces, having previously appeared on ABC's "Pan Am" and AMC's "Mad Men," but took her first stab at the space program's history through this role. Cummings spoke to collectSPACE about reconvening the astronaut wives club for the small screen.[/i]
