Gale Storm is perhaps best known as Margie on the hit television show, MY LITTLE MARGIE. Gale Storm's career encompasses much more -- she has maintained a very successful recording career, in addition to her motion picture, theatre, night club, and television performances.
Gale Storm was born Josephine Owaissa Cottle in Bloomington, Texas. While in her junior year at San Jacinto High School, Gale was persuaded by a dramatic teacher to enter a national radio contest called " Gateway to Hollywood". It was this contest that first brought Gale into the professional acting ranks with a trip to Hollywood, a motion picture contract at RKO and the name, "Gale Storm."
Gale Storm made her debut on records in the fall of 1955 on Dot Records. Within four months three of her songs were among the top twenty best sellers in the nation.
How was Gale Storm, the singer, discovered? A ten-year old girl named Linda Wood , from the small town of Gallatin, Tennessee, happened to have the volume on her TV set turned up a little higher than normal one night while she was watching a Sunday night Comedy Hour Show. On this particular show, the host was Gordon MacRae, and the guest star was Gale Storm. While Gale was singing one of the popular songs of the day, the sound of her voice drifted into the dining room where Linda's mother and father were dining in the company of family friends.
"Who is that singing, dear?' inquired Linda's dad.
"It's 'My Little Margie', dad. Gale Storm," Linda replied.
Linda's dad happened to be Randy Wood, the president of Dot Records. He liked the sound of Gale's voice. Wood called Gale immediately, without waiting for the program to go off the air. The rest is history.

Gale Storm: Poems from the Heart
Gale Storm
Enterprises proudly announces the release of Gale's new CD, 'Gale
Storm: Poems from the Heart.' The production of this CD was so
important to
her that she recorded it the day before her 4th back surgery. As
she put on
the headphones and received her cue to begin, something magical
took place.
In spite of her excruciating pain, she was filled with energy and
excitement. She has found this collection to be personally
meaningful and
inspirational. It is our hope that you, too, will be blessed.
