Trivia

  • This actress is mistaken for another 'eponym' Gail Ganley, actress of the 1950s. Gail Ganley-Steele (acting period : 1980s -- to this day) is a different actress from the Gail Ganley of the 1950s, who played in "Not of this Earth" (1957), and other fifties movies.
  • Actress and dancer who featured in several films of the 50s and 60s. Ganley is perhaps most noteworthy, having sued Howard Hughes for more than half a million dollars for reneging on his promise to make her a star. She eventually accepted a $150,000-plus out-of-court settlement.
