Born in San Francisco,[3] Gale rose to fame as part of the vaudeville act The Gale Sisters. She appeared on Broadway with her sisters in Flying High (1930) and George White's Scandals (1931).[4] In the early 1930s made her first films in Hollywood. This was originally as a Goldwyn Girl but gradually she rose to more notable parts, generally in B movies.

In December 1939, Gale married Oscar Levant in Fredericksburg, Virginia,[5] and they remained wed until his death in 1972. Later she married Henry Ephron.[6]

Gale was an integral part of two TV talk shows. After a disagreement led to her leaving her co-host role on The Oscar Levant Show, she began her own show.[6]
