With over 20 years in the stunt profession, Gayle began her career in
the entertainment industry as a commercial producer in San Diego after
graduating from UCSD. Following up on a job offer in development for
feature films, she moved to L.A. and worked for studios including
Twentieth Century Fox. Gayle returned to the production world as a
script supervisor for the leading commercial production companies in
the late 80's where she met her husband, Buddy Joe Hooker. She joined
him in the stunt business as a performer and actress until she took on
the role of mother to their twin sons and resumed her career behind the
camera as Director of Development for Showcase Entertainment. As soon
as the kids could join their parents in the stunt business at the ripe
age of 6, Gayle returned to stuntwork and acting where she continues to
perform in numerous TV shows and features. Today, Gayle remains active
in the business of development and distribution for independent films
and is writing her first book.
