Born Dale Frances Consalvi, the Missing Persons frontwoman was a onetime Playboy Bunny at the Boston Playboy Club.
After meeting Frank Zappa, she was told to come see him the next time she came to L.A. In 1976 she did, and when she walked into the studio it was love at first sight with drummer Terry Bozzio. Over the next three years, Dale helped out on a few Zappa albums, including singing on "I Don't Wanna Get Drafted."
In 1979, she and Terry got married. In 1980, Warren Cuccurullo and Dale were experimenting with a song they'd written called "I Like Boys," and decided to form Missing Persons.
The original Missing Persons lineup disbanded in 1986.
