About Gale Storm in brief
Josephine Owaissa Cottle, known professionally as Gale Storm, was an American actress and singer.

Honeymoon and It Happened on Fifth Avenue, the Western Stampede, and the 1950 film-noir dramas The Underworld Story and Between Midnight and Dawn. She performed in more than three dozen motion pictures for Monogram, experience which made possible her success in other media. She was a panelist on CBS’s What’s My Line? in November 1954 and a guest on NBC Comedy Hour in the winter of 1956.
Her father was the president of Dot Records, and he liked Storm so much that he called her before the end of the television show to sign her to a recording contract.
