'''Gale Storm''' was born '''Josephine Cottle''' in Bloomington, Texas on April 5, 1922.  In 1939, while still a high school student, she won a “Gateway To Hollywood” talent contest that led to roles in 37 movies between 1940 and 1952.  It also led to marriage -- to the male winner of that very same contest, Lee Bonnell.  Gale Storm’s pert and peppy personality was best showcased in her two hit sitcoms of the 1950s: My Little Margie (1952-5) and The Gale Storm Show (a/k/a Oh Susanna!) (1956-60).

Between those two series, Gale hosted The NBC Comedy Hour and appeared on other programs -- including one watched in the home of Dot Records owner '''Randy Wood'''. “His daughter Linda, who was about 12, saw me guesting on Gordon MacRae’s television show,” Gale wrote in her autobiography. “She called her dad in to see ‘My Little Margie’ singing on TV.”  Wood phoned Storm, kicking off her recording career.
