gale storm is a legend in my book! her death touches me even more deeply than farrah or michael. on 3 occasions I shared company with this angel of a human being..her charisma and authenticity were most apparent. she represents for me a kinder, more civilized past..and one I am glad to be old enough to have experienced. her oh suzanna made one stay at home on saturday night.

As a child I remember watching 'Love That Bob'. Was Gale Storm on that show or am I mistaken? I thought she was the snappiest dresser and had a swell personality.

When I was a VERY small child, I had a record player (blue and grey) and the only record I remember having is Gale Storm's Dark Moon and I also played the flip side, but I can't remember the name of that song. Anyway, I would lie on the floor and listen to that record over and over Once I got mad at my parents and wanted to run away from home. What did I pack up? My record player and my Gale Storm record! I probably was 4 or 5 years old! Love that Gale Storm!

I loved 'My Little Margie' when I was a kid. I never missed it. she had a bubbling personality. I agree with the Dr. who said she was from a kinder era and it is good to have seen actresses like that.

When I was a kid, I use to look forward to seeing Gale as the very bubbly person that I feel she was not only on t.v. but I saw her as being that way in her everyday life, at least that is how I remember her.
She was a real icon as well as Milton Berle (Uncle Milty) and all to many to mention were in the same classifications of pure, wonderful, genuine entertainment, it's just too bad kids and adults of today can't have the enjoyment of 'Real and clean entertainment'. From what I can see on these pictures in here... She was prettier than how they made her look on the My Little Marggie, I use to enjoy the guy that played her dad on the show too, they were a great combo. Too bad this song 'I hear you Knockin' in my tube doesn't have more base, but then you can't compare it with the 'Jukebox sound now can you. Smiles!! Does anyone know why she lost or they cancelled her show? Wonder if it was the drinking...(too bad) and I am wondering how her actual life was going and was anyone there for her?! She brought so much enjoyment I certainly hope so.
Thank you for remembering Gale Storm

I was born in 1950. My family got a TV set in 1955. My earliest memories are of watching My Little Margie which I got to watch when I was able to stay home for school sick. I remember thinking as a child how great she was -- clever, beautiful, innocent, loving with a great relationship with her dad. Thank you Gale for all the laughter and smiles you brought to me.
