  • Introduction

    Ronny Gore, the mother of Leslie and Michael Gore, played an important role in their lives. She was born Leona R. Kalmus and married Leo Goldstein on February 19, 1944, in Brooklyn, New York, as recorded in their marriage record. They later changed their surname to Gore. Leslie Gore, a renowned singer born in 1946 and who passed away in 2015, was their daughter. When Leslie was born, Ronny and Leo were a middle-class Jewish family residing in Brooklyn. In the 1950 US census, the family of three—Leo Gore, 30, Ronny L. Gore, 27, and their daughter Leslie Gore, 3—was living in New York, New York. Both parents were born in New York, with Leo working as a production manager in the brassiere manufacturing industry, while Ronny identified herself as a homemaker. Ronny's daughter Leslie Gore achieved great success in her music career and collaborated with her brother, Michael Gore. Together, they co-wrote the Academy Award-nominated song "Out Here On My Own" for the film "Fame." Ronny's support and influence as a mother undoubtedly played a significant role in shaping Leslie and Michael's artistic talents.
