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]
