    By far, the best dressed couple in mid-century television (if not in any era). Gracie was about 55 here.. absolutely stunning. So smart... and with perfect timing, it's a crime she never an Emmy.

    Gracie Allen might be my favorite person of all time. Every few days I try to think outside of the box, walk into a room with a scenario that’s so out of touch and act so oblivious that I have people questioning if I’m vapid just to see how they react.

    I'm 64 and always thought George Burns had his own way of comedy but I never realized how much Gracie was one of the gems if comedy. I'd put her right there with Lucille Ball . Her innocence is so beautiful and true in her comedy. I have a new appreciation for her now and forever. She's hilarious to her husband's comedy. I just wonder how much of the comedy she performed that she wrote her self ?. Anyways now she's my favorite. ❤😂

      Yeah, except I think Gracie is light-years above most all comedians female and male..
      Gracie is unique and so gifted ...
      Gracie is verbal comedy, while Lucy did physical comedy. To me, verbal is a more intelligent comedy, thus harder to be successful, highliting Gracie great talent.

      What's also great about the seasons when Ronnie joined the show as a regular cast member was the parade of new and reoccurring beautiful young actresses to act as Ronnie's actual or potential love interest. My personal favorite being Judy Boutin/Meredith, esp. when she became "Bonnie Sue MaAvy."

    I'm afraid you got this wrong. George Burns cheated on Gracie continually which broke Gracie's heart over all the years. He would buy her lovely things to compensate. I believe he was always very good to her aside from compulsive cheating. I believe he said the beautiful women in their industry was impossible to pass up and he had star power making it easy for him to seduce. Also, you repeated yourself quite a few times in lieu of content and that was a shame.

  • @rossmartenak5517
    @rossmartenak5517 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    First of all, so-called "George Burns" was not his real name. There was absolutely nothing wrong with his birth name, Nathan Birnbaum. Mostly likely the name change was as the result of pressure from a greedy Business Manager or Studio, with the idea of perceived greater recognition and possible monetary gain?! The business of changing one's birth name is the ultimate insult towards your parents & heritage. The ONLY time a name change should happen is when a woman gets married. If a married women DOESN'T change her last name, then that's an insult to her husband. Furthermore, a hyphenated name is ridiculous and only a pretentious person would do that to their name. A female with a hyphenated name is bad enough, but a male with one is down right ludicrous.
