In Memory of Midge Gisel (1929–2026)

Midge Gisel began her life in show business as a child actor with the Rubinettes, even appearing in the "Our Gang" comedies. She loved sharing stories from those early Hollywood days—like spotting Alfalfa on set or laughing about the time Mickey Rooney asked her on a date, only to have her mother firmly say no.

In time, Midge became the heart and soul of the San Fernando Valley Historical Society and helped oversee the Andrés Pico Adobe, and her passion for the site and its history was truly contagious. Over the years she served the Society in many roles—President, Immediate Past President, Curator—and gave her energy and dedication to every project she touched.

Even after stepping down as Curator, Midge continued to make newcomers feel welcome, often sending handwritten notes to new members. That thoughtful gesture was so very Midge.

Midge passed away peacefully at the age of 96, leaving behind a loving family and countless friends who cherished her warmth and kindness.

Though she is gone, her presence remains at the Adobe—in every story shared, every tour given, and every corner touched by her care.
