Born: June 27, 1957. Kitchener, Ontario.
Singer Gail Dahms (now Dahms-Bonine) from Kitchener, Ontario was an actress working working in theatre -- including the French language version of South Pacific -- and television work. She became instantly recognizable as the Marilyn Monroe-like character in the Smiles & Chuckles Turtles chocolate commercial who dances with turtles in formal wear and sings the line "Oooo, I love Turtles".
David Lodge, of Major Hooples Boarding House, brought her to the attention of Axe Records and signed her to a 5 year recording contract with the label. Label owner/producer Greg Hambleton produced two singles for her: "Can't We Somehow" and "Rescue Me" in 1976.
However, her recording career was short lived and she continue in acting. Her on-screen roles include 'The Silent Partner' (1978), 'Stone Cold Dead' (1979), Killing 'em Softly (1982), the made-for-TV film '984: Prisoner Of The Future (1982)', and the television shows 'In Good Company' (1975) and 'Flappers' (1979-1981). She was also the singing coach in the 1994 big-screen version of 'The Little Rascals'.
It is believed that after a lifestyle change, she has been the Worship Pastor at First Baptist Church of Boise, Idaho in the USA since 2002.
