I remember watching the Gale Storm Show. She was a character, that one. I always liked her. Also, I remember Joan Davis (”I Married Joan”), who was hilariouis.

I don't think I would kick her out of bed for eating crackers...

I use to watch “My Little Margie” every day after school when I was a kid back in the 50’s.

Well, there you go! #6 in the double trifecta: Carradine, McMahon, Fawcett; Jackson, Mays, Storm.

Wow, now there's a name that I haven't heard in a long time.

Truly a Classy Actress.

I remember her from "Oh, Susanna" (along with the very funny Zazu Pitts), and from "My Little Margie".

RIP.

I’ve been thinking about Gale Storm for the last week for some reason.

I always loved her perkiness.

RIP.

Thank you for the smiles, Gale.
