Actor, Songwriter Born: May 7, 1924 in Chicago, IL Death: February 18, 1980 in Tarzana, CA Biography:Statuesque brunette actress "Gale Robbins" started out as a model and nightclub singer. Entering films in 1944, "Robbins" spent most of her screen time playing alluring temptresses and brassy showgirls, bearing such character names as Dawn, Dixie, Shirlee, and Ruby. In 1950's "The Fuller Brush Girl", she socks across a sizzling striptease rendition of "Put the Blame on Mame"; and in 1953's "Calamity Jane", she is briefly seen as the pink-tight-clad Chicago songstress Adelaide Adams, wowing the first-nighters with her performance of "It's Harry I'm Planning to Marry." Retiring in 1958, "Robbins" made a brief comeback on the nightclub trail nearly 20 years later. "Gale Robbins" was 58 years old when she died of lung cancer in 1980. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
