- Gale Ronn was born on December 5, 1907 in Iola, Kansas, USA. She was an actress. She died on October 5, 2000 in California, USA.
- She began working as a fashion model in Kansas City and moved to Los Angeles in 1931.
- Ronn and 11 other actresses (out of 300) won a two-day beauty contest sponsored by Paramount Pictures in March, 1932. The celebrity judges were actress Carole Lombard, costume designer Travis Banton and director William C. de Mille.
- She was the highest-earning dress extra of 1934. According to an article in the Milwaukee Sentinel (dated February 13, 1935) by Hubbard Keavy, she was reported by Central Casting to have made $2,641.25 for 167 days of work that year. She averaged $50 a week.
- Her parents were Mr. and Mrs. R.E. Randel of Iola, Kansas.
- Unless one is an extra, it is difficult to understand why I will not talk about being, as you call it, the Number One Girl. Many of the people with whom I work daily already have shown their resentment toward me by ribbing me, and I know that others have said unkind things behind my back.
- I make a good living and I have lots of clothes. I make more money than a stenographer, whose ambition is to live well and wear nice clothes. Why should I want to try being an actress? No, I'm satisfied being an actress.
- I don't want to be an actress because I'm pretty sure I can't act.
