Back in films again after an absence of nearly five years, gail retired from the screen soon after her ill-fated marriage to Guy Madison, screen and television star. Illness, too, kept her away from movie sound stages. Now in excellent health once more, the charming, black-haired actress is looking forward to regaining her former screen popularity. Week ending February 10, 1956. Credit: Photo by Nat Dallinger (c) 1956, King Features Syndicate, Inc. Inside Hollywood #13, by Nat Dallinger.
