Summary: |
George
Burns and
Gracie
Allen were
performers
who
successfully
moved
their
stand-up
comedy act
to radio.
There
were, in
total,
over 120
episodes
of the
situation
comedies
featuring
George and
Gracie as
a married
couple,
which they
were in
real life.
The
audiences
loved
Gracie,
she was
too dainty
and
ladylike
for anyone
to even
conceive
disliking
her. As
George
soon
learnt! He
was quoted
as saying
“I learned
that if I
blew a
puff of
cigar
smoke in
Gracie’s
direction
the
audience
would hate
me!” |
