Maxine Gates (May 3, 1917 – July 27, 1990) was an American actress. She appeared in over 35 films between 1945 and 1972. Due to her rotund figure, Gates was often cast as a love interest who often intimidated her husband or boyfriend. She is best known for her appearances in several 1950s-era Three Stooges films such as Goof on the Roof, Husbands Beware and Muscle Up a Little Closer.
After retiring from acting in 1972, Gates ran a self storage business in Van Nuys, California. She died of complications from respiratory disease in Panorama City on July 27, 1990 at the age of 73.[1]
