Adele Inge is an American Ice Skater known for being one of the first American female to perform a back flip on ice. Adele Inge (born July 25, 1925) in St Louis Missouri is known for performing in Stars on Ice (1976). Adele began ice skating when she copied the Gymnastic tricks of brothers Oliver, Robert, and Ray Inge and performed them on Ice. When Adele's father realized her potential, he hired French tutor Mildred Massee who had studied at The Sorbonne in Paris' Latin Quarter. In the late thirties, Adele made her big debut appearing in Sonja Henie's revue. To say her act was an artistic masterpiece would be the exaggeration of the century, but Adele's high flying split jumps, Arabian cartwheels and acrobatic stunts - including a back flip - left audiences struggling to pull their jaws up on the floor. Before she was even fifteen, Adele had done everything from acting in the St. Louis production of "Murder In The Red Barn" to ice skating at the International Casino on 42nd Street in Times Square, New York. In 1942, Adele starred in a series of shows in the Terrace Room of the Hotel New Yorker, accompanied by no less of a star than Benny Goodman himself. She appeared in select cities with the Ice Capades tour in 1942. Then, in the middle of World War II, her fairy tale almost ended. In the late forties, Adele took her act to Great Britain and appeared alongside Daphne Walker and The Three Rookies in the show "Stars On Ice" at the Stoll Theatre. In 1951, she even skated in Brazil. By 1952, the highly in demand skater was starring in the revue "Calendar Capers" on the ice tank in the Boulevard Room of the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago. Adele enjoyed success as the star of "Spice And Ice" on the Tivoli Circuit in Australia in 1958.
