Today, we remember him best as Osgood Conklin on Our Miss Brooks (1952-1956), the landlord Mr. Heckendorn on Make Room for Daddy (1959-1961), Mr. Wilson on Dennis the Menace (1962-1963), and as Theodore J. Mooney on The Lucy Show (1962-1968), Harrison Carter on Here's Lucy (1968-1974), and Curtis McGibbon on Life With Lucy (1986). Gale also skillfully played dozens of characters on Old Time Radio, such as Mayor La Trivia and Foggy Williams on Fibber McGee and Molly, and Rumson Bullard on that show's successful spinoff, The Great Gildersleeve. He was also the first actor to play the role of Flash Gordon, in the 1935 radio serial, The Amazing Interplanetary Adventures of Flash Gordon. At last, Jim Manago has brought Gale's life and career back into the spotlight with a handsomely examined biography that features a complete survey of his credits, emphasizing over twenty years of his radio work, where he developed his comedic abilities. Discover his little-known personal life, including his duties as the Honorary Mayor of Borrego Springs, California, and the desert ranch where he lived in tranquility away from the spotlight."--Amazon.com 600 10 $a Gordon, Gale, $d 1906-1995. 650 0 $a Character actors and actresses $x Biography. 650 0 $a Actors $x Biography. 650 0 $a Radio actors and actresses $x Biography. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20170131010352.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=180049A0E78311E69763FD80DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
