Comments
Jeffrey Gyle, born Joseph George Geil, was my beloved uncle, whom I grew up with, since we both lived with his mother (my grandmother). As Joe Geil, he was featured as "Corkey" with the Little Rascals - the little red-haired guy. He was a featured solo dancer in the Academy Award-nominated film with Jimmy Stewart, "You Can't Take It With You," and as a teenager he danced with Judy Garland and in movies with the "Jivin' Jacks and Jills." All in all he made about 24 films. Also, he partnered with ice-skater Sonja Henje in her Hollywood Revues, and danced on Broadway in "Of Thee I Sing." Later he changed his name to Jeffrey Gyle and put together "The Vogues." Only 14 years older than I am (Grandma's menopause baby, the youngest of 7), he was incredibly talented - and my best friend. I miss him so much.
