Gene and Ina at Home

Gene Autry and wife Ina Mae at home

Known for her grace and intelligence, Ina Mae was married to Gene from 1932 until 1980.  Ina is the reason Gene recorded the much-loved holiday classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.  Gene didn't like it, but Ina thought kids would love it.  It seemed like the perfect updated "ugly duckling" tale.  Ina was right of course, since we still listen to this holiday classic today.

Favorite Foods of Famous Stars Arline Judge

Arline Judge (Feb 21 1912 - Feb 7 1974) suggests this great picnic supper including Meat Loaf, Arline's Potato Salad, Water Cress Sandwiches, Brown Bread and Butter Sandwiches, Strawberry Ice Cream, Pirate Patsies, and Coffee. Sounds fantastic. I would eat everything on her menu happily. I might actually have to make some of these items. The only thing I am curious about are what Pirate Patsies are.



By all accounts Arline was a sweet person, who was a great comedian, but could also act in dramatic roles too. She was the go to B and C movie comedian. Her most famous film was George White Scandals.


Every bio I have read about her has insinuated that her personal life lead to her lack of huge success, which included being dropped from RKO in 1933.


Arline was married a record setting 8 times. This is tied with Lana Turner as the most Hollywood marriages. I couldn't do it.

The 5' 2" Arline had the nickname "One Take Sally" because of her skill in front of the camera.

Here is the sweet Arline singing what I think is my current anthem, "If It's Ain't One Thing, It's Another"
