Biography
Born in San Francisco,[3] Gale rose to fame as part of the vaudeville act The Gale Sisters, a dancing quadruplet act that was actually two sets of twins.[4] She appeared on Broadway with her sisters in Flying High (1930) and George White's Scandals (1931).[5] In the early 1930s, she made her first films in Hollywood originally as a Goldwyn Girl in Roman Scandals,[6] and gradually she rose to more notable parts, generally in B movies after signing with Fox in 1936.[7]
In December 1939, Gale married Oscar Levant in Fredericksburg, Virginia,[8] and they remained wed until his death in 1972. She later married Henry Ephron,[9] thereby becoming the stepmother of noted writers Nora Ephron, Delia Ephron, Hallie Ephron, and Amy Ephron.
Gale was an integral part of two TV talk shows. After an on-air disagreement led to her leaving her co-host role on The Oscar Levant Show, she began her own show in 1958, with Lloyd Thaxton.[9][10]
