Born Maxine Joy Singer on June 21, 1951, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada she moved to Florida in 1975, eventually settling in Los Angeles. Maxine became a United States citizen on October 2, 1998.
Since 1981, Maxine worked closely with Gene and his media legacy, starting at Golden West Broadcasting and eventually becoming his Executive Assistant in the mid-1980s. This also began her longstanding relationship with Gene’s fans, managing fan mail and requests for autographs. Around this same time, the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum was founded, and Maxine took on the role of Museum Secretary for Co-Founders Joanne Hale and Jackie Autry alongside her existing role working with Gene.
As Executive Assistant, Maxine was the first point of contact for the business world and personal relations of both Gene and Jackie Autry. Whether it was the CEO of the Walt Disney company, the President of the United States, or Gene’s many co-stars, Maxine was known for the positivity and kindness she brought to her profession. As the main contact between the Autry Office and the Los Angeles Angels, Maxine’s loyalty and commitment to the Angels baseball players, staff, and broadcasters on behalf of the Autrys was legendary.
