Biography
Biography
Her autobiography, Candy Goes to Hollywood: the Gail Palmer Story, appeared in 1994. She dated Harry Mohney, and after they split, she sued him in 1984 for excluding her from the profits of their movies. After splitting up with Mohney, entertainment work was harder to come by, and Gail would return to Michigan, where she met and dated a physician. The couple married in 1988. After a visit to Hunter S. Thompson's home in 1990 she accused the writer of sexual assault; the charges were later dropped. In the 2006 book When Elvis Meets the Dalai Lama, author Murray Silver claims to have ghostwritten Palmer's autobiography.
