  Gracie was amazing, I think she sensed the show was lagging and gave it away. One of the greatest teams in comedy 🎭 history

  Gracie was just such a doll. What a spectacularly talented lady.

  Gracie never broke character. After the knocking, "Don't you answer George", in her own inimitable voice. Vintage Gracie.

  "I failed at every act you can think of, I played front end of a horse, back end of a horse, I did a rollingskating act, then the audience realized I had a talent. They were right. I did have a talent—and I was married to her for 38 years." - George Burns on his beloved Gracie.

  These two are true legends.     Funny now as then after 70 years.

  In addition to Gracie's comic timing, and George and Gracie communicating in pantomime, I love how much Daly enjoys them.

  I love Gracie's clever ad lib "don't answer George". It even caught him by surprise.

  George & Gracie were like huge stars of comedy back then. Probably one of the top 5 top comedy teams of all time!

  George and Gracie were both good looking back then and before.They loved each other so much, and he truly missed her after she died.That book he wrote of their life together was beautiful.

  They were both geniuses. George for writing/arranging the act and Gracie for her timing. George originally had the punch lines, but switched it to Gracie when he realized that audiences absolutely LOVED Gracie and were defensive of her! Also loved the story of George being caught in an affair. Gracie never mentioned it but went out and spent something like $700 dollars for a sterling silver dining table centerpiece she'd wanted and George wouldn't allow due to the expense - the only comment Gracie was reputed to have made was something like ten years after the affair when she mentioned to a girl friend that she wished George would have another affair because she wanted another silver center piece!!  Such class...
