Gale Storm

Gale Storm has three Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to Radio, Music, and Television. She occasionally acts with (and models with) her younger sister, Tracey Tweed. In 1981, she published her autobiography, I Ain’t Down Yet, which described, among other things, her battle with alcoholism. She lives with KISS member Gene Simmons (they are not married) and they have two children. In her career, Gale Storm had several top ten songs, headlined in Las Vegas, and appeared in numerous stage plays. Since then, Shannon has primarily acted in TV series and B movies. Shannon is one of the best known actresses in mainstream erotica. It was followed by the haunting ballad of lost love, "Dark Moon". She was briefly involved with Hugh Hefner at that time.

Her first record, "I Hear You Knockin' " (a cover version of a rhythm and blues hit by Smiley Lewis, in turn based on the old Buddy Bolden standard "The Bucket's Got A Hole In It") sold over a million copies. After the Canadian wish-fulfillment TV series Thrill of a Lifetime arranged for her to pose for Hugh Hefner's Playboy, she gained fame as the Playmate of the Year for 1982. From 1952 to 1955, My Little Margie, originally a summer replacement for I Love Lucy, ran for 126 episodes and was immediately followed by The Gale Storm Show (aka Oh! Susanna), that ran for 143 episodes between 1956 and 1960. Shannon was born in Newfoundland and became involved in beauty pageants at a young age. After winning, she went on to become an American icon of the 1950s, performing in more than thirty-five motion pictures and starring in two highly successful television shows. Shannon Tweed (born March 10, 1957), is a Canadian actress and model who has acted primarily in soft core low budget films. Two of her teachers urged her to enter the Gateway to Hollywood Contest held at the CBS Radio Studio in Hollywood, California where first prize was a one-year contract with a movie studio.

In Junior High and High School she performed in the drama club. Born in Bloomington, Texas, her father passed away before she was a year old and her mother struggled to raise five children alone. Josephine Owaissa Cottle (born April 5, 1922), better known as Gale Storm, is an American actress/singer.
