Wonder how she felt about all the groupies Frank indulged in.
Lol, yup....one that he banged was my ex-girl friend’s sister. I drove my Gf & her sister over to a concert he put on in Boston back in the 80s & we deposited her sister into Frank’s waiting arms after the show.
Yes, Zappa propositioned his secretary (who later wrote a book about him) even as he had a wife and kid at home.
But apparently he drew the line at hard drugs.

Hard to say.
But whatever she thought about that, she obviously adored him and respected his musicianship more than anyone can know. She devoted the rest of her life after he died to bringing his previously unreleased material to the public. A monumental undertaking.
After setting up the Zappa Family Trust, Gail issued 38 albums between 1994 and 2015 of previously unreleased music that Frank had recorded. This year's Dance Me This was billed as Frank's final album and is significant for being his 100th record.The above is why we celebrate Gail and mourn her passing. We have her to thank for an amazing collection of great music like nothing else on Earth.Gail spoke with Rolling Stone in August about a documentary that filmmaker Alex Winter is making about Frank's life. "My obligation was to get the work out there the way Frank built it in the first place," she said of her role after his death.
She also shared what she hoped the documentary, due sometime in 2017, would explain. "If I was gonna have to do this myself, I would want the question answered: 'Why the f**k would anyone want to be a composer?'" she said. "I know the answer to that, because I lived it. I just want it revealed."
