On December 31, 1939, radio audiences nationwide listened as
17-year-old Josephine Owaissa Cottle, a Texas schoolgirl, won
Gateway to Hollywood's new talent competition. Her prize: a movie
contract at RKO, and a memorable stage name - "Gale Storm."
Building on that opportunity, she became one of the nation's most
beloved entertainers. Gale (1922-2009) appeared in thirty-five
films, starred in two hit television series (My Little Margie and
The Gale Storm Show: Oh! Susanna), and earned a gold record for her
pop song "I Hear You Knockin'. This extensively researched survey
of her life and career, featuring interviews with family, friends,
and colleagues, offers previously unpublished details of her
upbringing, personal joys and challenges, and later years out of
the Hollywood spotlight. An annotated filmography encompasses
Gale's time as a leading lady at the "Poverty Row" studio Monogram
Pictures, roles in Westerns opposite stars like Roy Rogers and
Audie Murphy, and appearances in classics such as It Happened on
5th Avenue. Her TV stardom is fully covered, with complete
production histories and episode guides for her popular sitcoms.
The result is a well-rounded portrait of a woman whose charisma and
talent won the hearts of audiences from the 1940s to the present.
