Gail Chord Schuler was born in 1957 to a fashion model mother from Japan (descended from the royal Oshu Fujiwara family) and an Eastern airlines pilot father (whose uncle was aviator Howard Hughes). The Jesuit Order's genetic profiling teams immediately became aware of her unusual genetic profile of King David and Catherine the Great, and strove to kill her as a baby by giving her an allergy to her formula. Because of this, she almost died her first month of life, but her mother switched pediatrician's and saved her baby's life.At age 3, her parents divorced, and she was raised by a single mother in Miami, Florida. She graduated from Miami Palmetto Sr. High in 1975, where Jeff Bezos, Amazon CEO, also attended several years later, and where Miss Universe Sylvia Hitchcock had attended before Gail attended Palmetto High.Though her family pleaded with her to go to Air Force Officer's Training, she turned down her acceptance, and ended up graduating from Baptist University of America in 1983 with a degree in Humanities (missions and education). She surrendered to be a missionary while studying at Baptist University of America.She dreamed of a soulmate and decided to have an imaginary one, who would certainly not threaten her marriage and after watching Brent Spiner portray Data in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Pen Pals" in 1989 felt she found a vast person who could match the vastness inside her that screamed for existence. She opened her mind and heart as a friend to her pen pal Brent Spiner, feeling this would be a safe way for her to have her imaginary soul mate, knowing for certain that Brent would never have a romantic interest in her, and hoping for some type of pen friendship, safe and long distance.She began to have trouble with the state of Florida's H.R.S. in 1990 over an accident she had with her son, and wrote Brent about this. She noticed that the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Drumhead" seemed to tell her story about persecution from a government agency over a mistake. Brent had written a letter to Gail thanking her for sharing her thoughts, and Gail responded with a tape of her singing and piano playing. Brent responded by making the album Ol' Yellow Eyes is Back for Gail.Gail figured out that her mystery caller's voice in the spring of 1991 matched exactly the voice in a new music album (Ol' Yellow Eyes Is Back) she received from her pen friend Melody Rondeau, who was the editor of Data Entries (a Brent Spiner fanzine). The songs in the album seemed to be all about her, too. This man she hung up on, was indeed Brent Spiner. When she heard his music, she fell head over heels in love with Brent, for she realized he had made that album for her. Her vastness had indeed found a soul mate.God gave her a promise about Brent in 1992, using the song "Somewhere" from West Side Story, which was the first song that came onto her CD player set on the random mode after she returned from the funeral of a little girl.Brent inspired her to be true to her vast side and she studied writing under award winning children's author Jim Murphy through The Institute of Children's Literature (1991 - 1993). She communicated to Brent through her letters, then on a wiretapped phone (where Brent obtained a tap on her landline phone), until her divorce in 2001.While married, she lived in Portland, Oregon; Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan; Miami, Florida; Seattle, Washington; Houston, Texas; North Charleston, South Carolina, and then in Seattle, Washington when she divorced her husband in 2001.When Gail got the Internet in 2011, and learned how to publish her own books, she got back into writing.She has published several books, has a book in progress, and also narrates her own audio books, using the acting skills she developed from making her movie Brent Spiner's Rape.Gail's soulmate remains Brent Spiner. She remains committed to him as a wife in this world and the next. Gail has no doubt that the mystery caller who made love to her on the phone while she lived in Seattle (1991 to 1993) was the real Brent Spiner. Gail will never forget the longings and depth of feeling of her mystery caller in the 1990s and knows without a doubt, that in the 1990s that Brent Spiner's heart was filled with Gail.
